[...] A simple search on Google will reveal story after story of how domain owners lost control of their domain, weren’t notified of an impending expiry (Yahoo! did this to me) and charged extra to “reactivate” it, among cybersquatting and other incredibly shady practices. [...]

Hi Stephen,

I do own the domains

http://www.ecosolarheat.net

http://www.ecosolarheating.net

They are working web sites not for Solar Systems at the moment the content is building the story on how the .com domains were effectively stolen by the Go Daddy Group.

When I buy a domain for business purposes I buy the .com and .net purely for marketing purposes.

When building a brand the last thing any of us need is to find that a working .com web site is competing with the .net domain.

Many people do not see what happened to me with the Go Daddy Group can happen to anyone who is using the services of a Wild West Domains Reseller.

Very few of the general public know there is a difference between a Registrar and Reseller.

The Go Daddy Group use Wild West Domains Registry to manage the Resellers, of course many of the Resellers do not know their biggest competitor Go Daddy .com is the big Sister / Brother of Wild West Domains.

GO BUY YOUR DOMAINS:

They’re unregistered. Buy them from the registrar of your choice. (Not bad domains, either!)

Hi,

Nothing has really changed Go Daddy Group Steal from customers.

See

The fact is th Go Daddy Group are supposed to be Service Providers, their ICANN Accrediated Status suggests they can be trusted to provide services.

It appears that ICANN are happy to sit back and allow questionable trading standards by Registrars.

Perhaps it is time for Government regulation because the Registrars cannot be trusted and the watchdog (ICANN) has gone to sleep.
