Migration from GoDaddy

On 27 December 2011 with 6 comments

No doubt anybody with a domain name online has heard of the infamous GoDaddy. Whilst I’ve been dutifully spending time away from the computer this holiday, I’ve kept a close eye on the SOPA act as well as registrars’ reactions towards it. GoDaddy already has horrible customer service, horrible products, horrible interface, horrible advertising … and they also support SOPA.

Unfortunately I do have a couple of domains left on GoDaddy for legacy reasons and laziness on my part, but this was the final straw to migrate away (to Namecheap, if anybody’s interested). If you own a domain with them, spend the extra 5 minutes to migrate. It’s worth it.

I also use namecheap. Great service. Their online chat support is also decent.

Yes, they seem to be a very good alternative. Clean layout, clean service.

i use namecheap (and gentoo) too:

namecheap has a clean layout compared to godaddy but that’s not a high bar to cross. the design could be a lot better.

the private whois listing is not free at namecheap like at other registrars like dreamhost.

namecheap has a nice dynamic dns service.

Well, most of the major reliable registrars across the reliability< ->service perks are pretty much homogenous in my eyes, and paying a few extra bucks for private whois listings isn’t that big a deal in my eyes.

Will need to investigate its dynamic dns services – I want to introduce own subdomain profiles for WIPUP users.
