buuhh
@natestamm buy me a domain and I pay you double through my verified paypal.
I just dont want to be hassled with CC's
@Simple3x I picked one up I was pondering over for a while for a lot cheaper than it cost me a week ago /shrug if you missed this you missed it, and I'm no new Godaddy customer, Lolz
^ with Simple3x... The no PayPal part sucks.
NameCheap has identical offer and accepts PayPal....
@pubcrawler granted. But lately my PayPal has been having a love affair with Dynadot so meh what can i say Hah
True @natestamm. I mean PayPal isn't the worlds most reputable company either. They just have idiots like me lulled into false buyer security. No whipping out the plastic to pay some random payment gateway.
@pubcrawler I'm still pissed that Amazon won't roll over for PayPal I know the history but some times I'd really like to make a purchase there without using their payment solution and I usually end up going somewhere else PayPal has been very good to me and is the life blood of my business. Just my two.
I agree 100% about Amazon @natestamm.
Those two companies are too similar though in shark management to mix it up. Ultimately, I could see Amazon swallowing Ebay+PayPal. Ebay is floundering. Listings are sparse and real lack of deals for a long time on there.
@pubcrawler Nah the technology Amazon has behind their site is in the stone age, certainly in terms of UI. Any ways you need to understand their hesitation with aforementioned ease of use. It's the same reason lots of companies hold off offering services payable through PayPal. What they don't understand is you get out of worrying about claims and charge backs by offering gift cards and minute cards payable through PayPal. Then they have every record they need of the sale and what was provided ie no one can say they didn't receive what they paid for. I still like Amazon a lot, they just need to wake up. It's time to make money brotha, the past decade of crying to the sky is officially over.
nope. godaddy is bad
GoDaddy, well, ehh, I don't trust them, one bit, along with 1&1. I only register my domains with NameCheap.
I think we need a Single Page for such announcements, so the no posts can be reduced.
Godaddy doesn't bother me. Been using them for years and thier setup for pages is way better than other registrars.
+1. I've bought a few domains through their promo's and never had any issues. When I wanted to ask support a question, they responded in less than 24 hours. You don't need support for domains really. They're fine for me, although I do use Namecheap as well.
I would never use Godaddy for hosting though, domains is about as far as I'd go.
domains only! That is what godaddy should stick to!
Yup, definitely.
Some promotional codes aren't available for the UK as I just found out, haha.
Yeah I didn't like Godaddy's CEO antics back a while ago. Lots of hoof and mouth disease out of that fellow.
Amazon UI antiquated? I HATE 80% of new UI's and their javascript burdened CPU burning inclusions from 5 remote site designs.
Amazon probably won't make more cash with new fangled UI. Bezos is a smart number cruncher and hires very bright (albeit maniacal) folks.
I've been loving 1and1 and namecheap for domains lately. Both are wrapping useful freebies in the offers too.
I don't like GoDaddy as a company and have not registered any domains through them.
The one thing I like about GoDaddy is they offer support for DNSSEC. I have not found any other .com domain registrars who will sign keys for DNSSEC, as long as the domains are registered with them. My current domain registrar is totally clueless about DNSSEC, and I am referring to their senior technical people.
I haven't got a DNS server set up yet, let alone adding DNSSEC, but when I do, I may not have much choice but to move to GoDaddy.
... and yes, I realize that DNSSEC deployment and use is near zero (just like IPv6 deployment in the US). Obviously there is no pressing need to configure DNSSEC, other than for the learning experience.
Agreed that was a jump on my part New coffee I'm trying out
@emg
There are PLENTY of providers offering DNSSEC, Gandi for one.
Has anyone ever used the Godaddy auctions? I was searching for a domain and apparently it's up for auction, but I can't place a bid without a yearly $4.99 subscription.
I had previously found this list:
http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/dnssec/deployment
Gandi is there, but the only US-based registrar that handles .com is GoDaddy. I have no prejudice against non-US providers, but mild concern that if someone steals one of my domains, I am ill-equipped to deal with the situation from my location in the US.
Can you recommend another, more complete list of DNSSEC-supporting domain registrars?
P.S. I just gave a closer look at Gandi's website, and note that they have a US office in San Francisco. I also note that they are the registrar for US-based companies and organizations that I recognize and/or support.
@emg
There should be no legal issues with using a non-US based registrar as the central organ controlling the zones are based in the US.
Gandi is alright, support might be a bit slow at times. But i only use a few Swedish registrars and Gand, those are the ones that offer DNSSEC, something like INWX doesn't (but are great nonetheless)
