Please don't use GoDaddy. They're scum of the earth.
Hah, oops. HousePanther likely knows more than me. Heed their warning!
I've had domains stolen out from under me by GoDaddy. Fuck those guys! But seriously, I don't blame you for not knowing.
Tell me you haven’t used Network Solutions without telling me you haven’t used Network Solutions :p
Network Solutions!? What a godawful company they were to deal with back in the day. Loved it when their monopoly over domain name registration was cancelled.
Oh, they’re still a bitch today. Been in the process of moving my work’s domains off of them over to Porkbun for cost-savings and the peace-of-mind of not having to deal with them.
Like, they apparently switched from offering more expensive Windows webhosting over to cheaper Unix webhosting - but because we signed up for the Windows servers for webhosting, they’ve been charging the company $175 a month for the past couple of years and never bothered to tell anybody about it until I recently asked about it and demanded that they lower the cost they’ve been charging us because they can’t do refunds :) Also they nickel-and-dime the shit outta their customers - like WHOIS privacy is $13 a year per domain with Network Solutions while it’s free on others, including GoDaddy.
GoDaddy might be shit, but I sincerely hope every single person who works at Network Solutions will get fucked by a rake.
A sharp metal garden rake to boot. Stripping Network Solutions of its monopoly was one of the best decisions ICANN made.
