Godaddy just sold my domainname scentshop. They give me nothing but cut past replies and bullsht. I have had the name for 6 years. My dam card expired. And they sell my domain, for a profit. I have emails indicating they said my site was fine up and running. but they had sold it behind my back three weeks earlier. they are liers. How can you sell your customers domain. And tell them its fine up and running two weeks after. wth i could kill
if you want to see i will be bilding another website showing a time line of emails and lies – belive they will steal your site an d hard work – I think my time is worth spend five ten bucks more a month for good host.
Please i need a good coldfusion host for my sites.

I have been a godaddy customer for about 5 years now and suddenly, I’ve noticed an unsettling trend. I search a domain on godaddy alone, nowhere else, its available, I come home that night to reserve the domain…suddenly in a matter of hours its now unavailable unless I want to pay THOUSANDS for it from a “godaddy partner”. When this first happened I just thought, “Well, just a coincidence” the second time it happened I was suspicious, the third time, I am now convinced that when I find a good domain name, it triggers a flag in the godaddy system and they sell this domain to their “partner” in hopes of making a fatter percentage off a ‘resale’ back to me, the customer they duped in the first place. Beware of this register company. I still have my domains registered with them but I’m now looking to transfer them to a more reputable register company (which I’m researching now). If this post saves one person from being ripped off, I will feel MUCH better.

no my domain had not expired, i payed my renewal fees which i have proof.when I contacted Godaddy they said they would sell it back to me for 500. I have had the domain since 2002 where i registered it with register .com and then went to godaddy in 2006. On the new whois it says they have had it since 2004 which is a lie. it never was theirs.i have reciepts and documentation to back this up.they now use it for a lingerie directory for their other sites.could you please recommend an attorney for this matter.
thank you
sincerely
