[thelist] Difference between domain registrars

[Luciano Kay]

--> GoDaddy is not perfect, I am sure, but certainly better than NetSol

exactly! that's the question...

I haven't so much knowledge on domains, DNS and related, then... how you
could explain that a US$ 7.95 service is better than a US$ 35 one? (I really
don't understand this)

I mean, I don't care on who has the registry of my domain, I just want a
good service (cheaper = better). Obviously, I understand that some specific
o rare issues could happend (like the case told by Chris).

GoDaddy is not perfect, I am sure, but certainly better than NetSol, with
whom I've had similar problems due to their apparent belief that they own
the web, everyone else being mere tenants!  But this anecdote is a little
unusual, since GoDaddy not only auto-renews domains unless the user opts out
of that feature and since GoDaddy is *very* proactive about sending email
notifications of impending expiry.  Of course, that assumes the email
address on file for the domain is up to date.  I strongly recommend GD to
anyone who will listen.  Though, steer away from their hosting offerings -
they *suck* in that area.
