Good Bye GoDaddy and kiss my ***!!! Great News! I am FREE from Go-Daddy!!! Argh-argh! Some people may know that my dot com was originally registered with GoDaddy. Actually, my struggle to free myself is what started my blog. Well, renewal time came around again, and I am not one to suffer in silence. So, since I was forced to visit the website, I made my rounds of all the forums, etc flaming about how much I dislike being a hostage, prompting people to visit NoDaddy.com to make an informed decision, etc. My usual verbal diarrhea when I’m unhappy about something. I figure if I’m forced to deal with them, they are forced to deal with me. Well, it paid off. About 15 minutes after leaving an exceptionally ugly post on Bob Parson’s personal blog, my phone rang. Yes, my PHONE, lol. It was Mathew from “The President’s Office” of GoDaddy asking what he could do to remedy the situation. RELEASE my Domain. OK, let me walk you through it. REALLY???? He actually stayed on the phone with me until my domain transfer was complete. Seriously, how cool is that??? Ok, for those that don’t know, a transfer usually takes 5 or 6 days IF you weren’t sucked in with the Hostage program, Domains By Proxy, which means you really could be stuck forever. GoDaddy is the largest register BECAUSE of this “captive” program, you are basically a hostage. This is proof positive to stand up for yourselves and do not accept mistreatment quietly! When I left that blog post, I felt that the only accomplishment would be to feel really good about publicly spewing my feelings about that company. But it paid off! What a great ending to a great year!
