Thread: Transfering domain to namecheap - may be down for brief period

Transferring my domain registrations away from godaddy, so there may be a brief period of downtime over the next day or so.

Great news on ditching GoDaddy. I thought you were on 1&1 though? Not that they are any better. I've heard they were the only thing worse.

Namecheap is all the rage now, but other places I'm told are as good and not nearly as obnoxious to leave (Namecheap I'm told is worse to leave than GoDaddy). =/

Hosting is at 1&1, domain registration was at godaddy, now at name cheap.

I've only ever heard bad things about 1&1 myself, but 4 years and going and I think I can count the number of times the server has be down on one hand due to reasons that weren't my own fault

Oh, right. Hosting versus registration. Silly me.

Sweet GoDaddy doesn't deserve to still be in business, even though they stopped supporting SOPA.

I can't imagine that the boycott will have any real effect on the company, but it is pretty funny how quickly they flip-flopped.

Crim, you using coupon code "SOPAsucks"?

They have not stopped supporting SOPA as we'd like to see it.

1) GoDaddy helps write SOPA.
2) GoDaddy helps write themselves as the holding place for SOPA'd domains.
3) GoDaddy helps write an exception/exemption into SOPA for themselves.
4) GoDaddy comes out in support of SOPA.
5) Customers react by leaving GoDaddy.
6) GoDaddy removes the official company posts declaring support for SOPA but leave blog posts from high ranking employees (in their official capacity) supporting SOPA.
7) GoDaddy comes out officially as "opposing" SOPA. The reason given:



AKA

SOPA makes us look bad now, so we "don't support it". They still support the content of the bill, they just don't want to be associated with it.

For you Crim. Maybe too late though?

And for anyone else looking for other options.

Apparently 1&1 is out against SOPA.
