Better than Godaddy?

It was with namecheap.com (as a domain register only)

Once we moved we were 1 - 2 seconds faster... To make sure it wasn't a host issue we even tried different host (Soft Layer for example). Didn't believe it until I tried it.

I've been using http://namesilo.com now.

I had a bunch of problems with Namecheap that had about 1/2 of my members being sent to old servers at random times. They also wouldn't even look into helping instead they just fobbed it off as a host excuse. Once I changed to Namesilo all the issues ended so obviously it wasn't the host :rolleyes:.

Had the same issue with another domain. Kept telling me it was a hosting issue (just like they did with you). Moved the domain name and everything was resolved.

Public Domain registry - I'm a registrar partner and own a domain registrar. Works out cheaper.

Oh and if you care about your domains, you wont keep them at GoDaddy. You'd be even more crazy if you used them for hosting.

I ended up finding what the issue was and told the support after I moved (I still have some domains there as I'm transferring as they get close to expiring). They still insist it was a hosting issue.
 
Name.com, though I don't use their name servers. Nor would I ever leave a domain parked with them, due to wording in their registration agreement.

I have all my domains with godaddy. Can someone enlighten me as to why it's such a bad thing?

They're pretty much a sub-par company (If you ever get hacked chances are you'll have to go through loops to get anything solved) and there's been a lot of controversy that they've been involved in (Or that their CEO has been involved in).

Also were one of the bigger supporters of SOPA.
 
I am using Internet.bs because they are so cheap and offering private whois (same as Namecheap) but i have active domains on Namecheap too.
 
I use GoDaddy, mostly because they are cheap. I looked into switching to NameCheap at some point, but found that it would cost us several hundreds a year extra, so I stuck with GoDaddy.

You pay $18.16 for a domain at GoDaddy with private registration.

At Namesilo you pay $7.49-$8.99 depending on what domain ($16.99 for .me) with free private registration.

It is aweful what GoDaddy CEO Bob Parson for his pleasure and glorified it on the GoDaddy website. (n)

Look up the real/full video. They ripped open the elephant, played with it, and tossed out Godaddy hats. I watched that video when Bob posted it; several times thinking it was an April fool's joke, but it was not.
