Is GoDaddy a good domain registrar?
Posted on Nov 21, 2009 under GoDaddy.com | 49 CommentsI’ve heard it’s good, but has terrible Customer Service. If my domain is about to expire, will it handle this for me? Would you recommend GoDaddy? I’m thinking that maybe I should register with HostGator. Is GoDaddy only good for its speed? When the nameservers are transferred to HostGator, will HostGator handle the payments? Sorry, I’m new to this. x_x

I use them for registrar, not hosting. No problems for registrar.

Excellent, and no, they have some of the BEST customer service of ANY registrar. The people you her complaining, are ones where godaddy has cancelled their domain for doing something against the TOS (Terms Of Service) like spamming, child porn, scams etc.
GoDaddy reacts a lot faster than most as closing down bad web sites. If you aren’t planning on spreading a virus, child porn, spam, etc, go ahead and use them, If you ARE planning on one of these kinds of sites, I’d suggest using a different registrar.

I’ve got all of my domains (about 20) hosted with GoDaddy and don’t have any complaints at all. Super quick with customer service, both online or via telephone, and the interface is extremely easy to navigate.
You can set your account up to automatically renew at the end of your term – which GoDaddy will automatically bill to the credit card on file so you don’t have to worry about losing any of your names.
The reason you hear a lot of complaints about GoDaddy is the same reason you hear more complaints about Wal-Mart. It’s the tallest man on the totem pole. And when that happens, there’s going to be more buzz about you, good and bad. The fact is, more people are going to report about bad experiences they had with a company than good experiences.
The most famous case against GoDaddy that you’ll hear dredged up is one from 2006 where the owner of FamilyAlbum.com entered incorrect information into his domain when he was registering it (as someone has already pointed out here, that’s a standard practice of many people setting up illegal websites). It’s against ICANN compliance to do that, so GoDaddy attempted to contact him via email for two months, to no avail, after which they shut off the domain and put it up for sale again. Suddenly the guy came forward playing victim and blamed GoDaddy for the entire thing and accused them of ’stealing’ his domain to sell it to another customer for a higher profit (which turned out to be a whopping $18 for a backorder). GoDaddy eventually settled the entire incident with both the new owner and the dufus that originally entered his information incorrectly – and gave him his domain back. But even then, they went above and beyond to make sure both customers were happy.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

Moving and powerful! Youve certainly got a way of reaching people that I havent seen very often. If most people wrote about this subject with the eloquence that you just did, Im sure people would do much more than just read, theyd act. Great stuff here. Please keep it up.
November 10th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
All I can say is keep it up. This blog is so necessary in a time when everyone just wants to talk about how many people someones cheated on their wife with. I mean, thanks for bringing intelligence back to the web, its been sorely missed. Great stuff. Please keep it coming!

November 13th, 2010 at 10:11 am
It was interesting. You seem very knowledgeable in your field.
November 13th, 2010 at 11:54 am
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
November 13th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Hey Webmaster, I like blogengine.net but why did you chose it? I mean it’s so cool with the random avatars and draws people in, but what speficially made you want to install it?
November 13th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space –great graphics, videos, layout. This is definitely a must-see blog!
November 13th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?
November 13th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.
November 13th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I have recently started using the blogengine.net and I having some problems here? in your blog you stated that we need to enable write permissions on the App_Data folder…unfortunately I don’t understand how to enable it.
November 13th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
What did you do, just say whatever it is you wanted to make people mad?! You cant just say something like that and not give any backup for it! Youve got to at least give me a reason to think that you know what youre talking about, otherwise, you just sound like some kid with a grudge!
November 13th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
November 13th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
I must say that overall I am really impressed with this blog.It is easy to see that you are passionate about your writing. If only I had your writing ability I look forward to more updates and will be returning.
November 13th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Brilliant stuff, man! What you have to say is really important and Im glad you took the time to share it. What you said really spoke to me and I hope that I can learn more about this. thanks for sharing your opinion. I am yet to find anything as enlightening as this on the web.
November 15th, 2010 at 12:58 am
That is nice to definitely find a site where the blogger knows what they are talking about.
November 15th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Cheers for this post, It’s fantastic to see another BlogEngine.NET user. Most people these days seem to use other systems like Wordpress, but I think BlogEngine.NET is the best system to use.
