Thread: Should I go with GoDaddy for Domain Name Transfer?

I am Happy with Namecheap

You can save a buck going with DynaDot over NameCheap since they're on sale now for dot coms. Otherwise you save 35 cents during normal pricing. You can save over a buck with Moniker.com. Just go to ICANN's list of registrars, pick out a few, do some research, look at the prices, etc. Doesn't hurt to shop around.

Wait, it does anyway! LOL very true. Yes you do get a lot of e-mails and banners on there site especially on the checkout process, but obviously we all fall for it as its proven successful that's why they do it.

I have to correct myself on ONE part. I just found a site that explains the INCANN endorsed process and that the entire auctioning and redemption fee process was not formulated only by godaddy. I'm sure the forum regulars know, but an old school user like myself finds this practice retarded to say the least. While that process isn't godaddy's fault, the fee and the not updating the user or administrator on the expiring domain...

I have used them in the past although I had major issues with hosting support, clueless

I use Godaddy for my domains and have around 50 domains there. They send a mail like once a week but every mail has a promo code which is great. I don't mind 4 mails per month. Well they are lot better than most of registrars out there and prices are good. Their hosting might not good but as a domain registrar they are my favorite. NameCheap is a reseller of Enom. I was told that their support's pretty good though prices are high. If...
