I wanted to expand upon my twitter response to Kevin Rose‘s question: ”Who is your favorite domain registar and why?” Here you go:
* Awesomely powerful/well organized web portal for managing domains/services
* Cheap domains… I usually use “promo” codes and get domains on the CHEAP.
HOWEVER, the most favorite thing I LOVE about Godaddy.com is their CUSTOMER SERVICE. Whenever I call for help at Godaddy, I always have been received by friendly/smart representatives. For instance, JUST today I registered a domain where the name was misspelled—-after checkout I noticed this. For the hell of it, I called Godaddy wanting to see if I could fix or get a refund. Within “2″ minutes I was off the phone with them—WITH a full refund. NO PROBLEMS.
I’ve also been called by Godaddy sales from time to time—just to see how things were going with my sites—if I needed anything, etc…. Not an annoying type of “sales” call… but, a very friendly “just checking on you” type of communication…. For me, I really like this type of personal connection.
I’ve used other registrars: dotster, directnic, networksolutions—-and I’m so happy with Godaddy. I’m never using another registrar.
