Only, it's not going to help if your DNS provider (usually your ISP) still has the old information cached.

Yeah.

If it's a (your own) site move then you can change the ttl to make dns changes picked up quicker by ISPs. I switched over a few last night and most seem to have propagated already

Ditto! Successfully transferred ~30 domains from Godaddy to Dynadot yesterday. Got rid of all subscriptions from Godaddy and removed all payment information (Paypal, CC). I don't see an option to delete the account, but I guess that's OK.

I have about 40 domains with GoDaddy and I've never had any real problems with them. So, I'm curious....what are you getting from Dynadot that is better than GoDaddy?

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

why not just pay for 10 years upfront

Most of the people I know that have accidentally let a name expire were people who paid upfront for long terms. But five or ten years later, their contact info has changed, they quit using an old email account, etc, etc. Then one day the site doesn't work.

GoDaddy support is horrible if you ever have an issue with your account (eg you get hacked).

Namecheap isn't much better, but they will put a hold on any transfers.

Just want to remind mobile internet users, if you can't access the site with your mobile internet, try to get a different IP address by doing a reconnect. This worked for me

As of last night my home ISP/DNS still hadn't updated, ended up switching my DNS to Google Public DNS.

Why not register it ten years out?

Not all registers offer this.

The one that XF uses lets you renew 10 years out. I use the same one.

I thought they all had to as a ICANN compliance thing... I could be wrong though.

Personally, I use www.omnis.com... inexpensive, not a spamarific UI like GoDaddy... just the stuff you need and where you need it.

Hmm not unless 1&1 Internet recently changed something. I do know that they added auto-renew within the past year.

I never rely on Auto-Renew.

I have multiple reminders for all my domains, and make damn sure I renew them manually.

I heard that registering your domain for several years actually benefits on Google, is that true?
I have mines registered for several years.

All of these rumor about domain ages can be clearly answered by the guy above Matt Cutts who is head of Google Webspam team.
