A good friend of mine runs http://www.LockPickersMall.com which used to be hosted on GoDaddy.

This is a locksmith website selling LockPicking Tools. As you may know, it is perfectly legal to buy, possess or sell Lock Pick and LockSmith Tools in every US state. There is no law against that and in fact my friend sells it through paypal.

…

Well, I guess you can guess the rest of the story, huh? LockPickersMall had been up with GoDaddy for 2 years until they finally decided they didn’t want to host a perfectly legal – and legit – lockpicking shop. Hundreds of satisfied customers and they cut the plug.

First, they cut the hosting. My friend lost THOUSANDS of dollars in sales. Like this wasn’t enough, THEY ALSO SUSPENDED THE DOMAIN. Why? Why would they need to suspend the domain??? What’s the point.

At first, they didn’t even want to let my friend transfer the domain. It took many calls just to get the DOMAINS and the files on the server were NEVER recovered no matter what they told.

Oh, he had to pay their “fines” too. Thanksfully he had copies of the pages at home, but not of the database. 2 years of transactions lost for NO reasons. ONE e-mail, ONE representative and the website was gone – POOFED!

Godaddy never gave my friend a reason, only “according to TOS bla bla bla”. This is utter crap. Not only did my friend lose sales, he had to PAY these scammers!!!!

GODADDY IS ABSOLUTE CRAP. GO WITH A REAL HOST!

LockPickersMall.com has been with its current host for 7 years without any problem. I ±£¤@£¤hate Godaddy

Stay away from GoDaddy

I’m part of a online club who collects domain names. We have together more than 43.000 domain names with GoDaddy.
Part of the reason to do it with GoDaddy was all the benefits with “Go Daddy Hosting Connection”

Now that they changed 3 weeks ago, without notice the benefits which comes with the free credits and therefor the “Go Daddy Hosting Connection” we want to change from registrar.

Anybody aware of a free transfer from Go Daddy to….Huh without upgrading all your domain names with an extra year of registration?

We have currently 76 accounts with GoDaddy. The largest hold around 3000 domain names. Anybody else want to joy our re listing action and make a bold fist to godaddy???
Let me know…
read also my post from this morning….

You will need to contact registrars to negotiate some bulk pricing.

I do not believe it is possible to transfer a domain WITHOUT adding an additional year to it. However again some registrar may be able to to make an exception to this.

Please browse our “alternatives” section of the forum and contact as many registrars as possible with your situation…hopefully someone will be able to help you run away from GoDaddy.
