Just get out of jail noone? Or is it normal to respond to threads from 8 months ago?

“Sacred?” My God, people, get over yourselves. Don’t like, don’t use them.
There absolutley no sacred trust being broken.

@fred…..I sent a pretty nasty email about Godaddy stealing traffic in this manner. I usually don’t get that mad….but they are literally taking money from my pocket and transferring it to theirs….to be blunt. You are correct…it is “pure theft” in the truest sense by Godaddy.

It’s ballsy to just up and take a domain owner’s traffic. It just goes to show that it is still the Wild West in domains and domaining…..albeit less so than a year or two ago.

This is worthy of a story, really.

The real crime at Godaddy is that when you switch to their parked DNS (in order to use their fwding) they steal your traffic for three days and park it. I have over 2000 domains at godaddy and this has been happening for years. I don’t understand why nobdoy talks about it.
It is pure theft.

The upsells at GD/WWD are very annoying and I am a long time reseller and fan.

I have used godaddy for most of my domains over the last 5-6 years or so and their whole upsell process in general is a pain. I could see upselling to the average joe with a few domains but when they see hundreds and hundreds of domains accumulate in my account over the years they should realize that someone with this many domains knows what he is doing and if he needs to buy something he can find it, I have already moved 150+ out to fabulous & moniker as I just wanna manage my domains and not be bothered with upsells and hijacking my landers every time I change nameservers.
