Use a better registrar than GoDaddy. Price isn't everything, and GoDaddy will as soon screw you over as look at you. When searching for registrars to use, the first thing I do is look for registrars that have donated domain registration and/or hosting services to open source projects, because that always says something nice about their level of customer service and knowledgeability. The second thing I look for is their conflict resolution policy, because I never want to be in the position of having my service halted on someone else's say-so for something that isn't my fault without anyone letting me know there's a problem in time to fix it before service is cut off -- and I *definitely* don't want to pay a severeal-hundred-dollar ransom to get my domain name back (a favorite dirty trick of GoDaddy's). Price is somewhere down around concern five or six when I'm choosing a domain name registrar. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Robert Martin: "Would you rather Test-First, or Debug-Later?" --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkosbXUACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXPrQCeN41ZKq9qJbjSCucZwxsKqV1Y mi8AoN/UfXB1/9QzXKsmRFEPW5zy39RK =NMvW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v--
