:D :cool: Yes~Absolutely~Go with GoDaddy!!

* Evil Verisign & Register.com are the two I would NOT advise you to ever register through..

But GoDaddy is great!!

Verisign deserves this suit agains them, for their slime~ball marketing attempts to steal away other Registrar's customers..

And Verisign is SO LOW.. that they take expired domain names and put them up for auction @ Ebay..
but they just recently put an end to that.
(i'm pretty certain ICANN.. said YOUCANN'T DO THAT.. so they stopp'd)

GoDaddy, one of the most respected & moderately priced Accredited Registrars ( $8.95) announced enhancements to their service for 'ownership transfer' of a domain name. This is hot news, and it's GOOD NEWS..

Read on:

1. Effective June 21, 2002, transferring domain name ownership is FREE.

Prior to this, transferring ownership cost $9.95, and required that certain paper documents be signed and notarized. Due to many requests by our customers, we have changed this process entirely. The new process is now free. It's much more convenient, yet still very secure.

We no longer require you to sign paper contracts. To effect a change of ownership, just log into "Manage My Domains" and change the appropriate information regarding the domain name (usually the Registrant and Admin info). That's all there is to it!

To assure your security and to prevent your becoming a victim of mischief, we do two things when you request a change of ownership. First, we immediately send an email to the owner of the domain name before the actual transfer of ownership, alerting him or her that the transfer been made within our system. Second, we "lock down" that domain name in our system for 60 days. During this time, the domain may not be transferred away from Go Daddy to another registrar. This allows the prior owner of the domain to alert us if it should not be transferred, and we will reverse the transfer if we're so alerted.

This new policy makes it very important that you make sure your current email address is on file with us, and that you check your email periodically.

************************************************** *********

2. You may now purchase packs of 5 email forwards for any Go Daddy-registered domain name for only 99 cents per pack per year. Buy as many packs as you like!

Many of our customers have requested the ability to purchase email forwarding along with the domain names they register. Now you can now do this simply by logging into the "Manage Your Domain" area and clicking on the appropriate link.

Forwarding lets you re-direct anything that's sent to one email address, to another email address. For example: Suppose you purchase a domain name called "mydomain.com." You buy an email account to go along with it; let's call it me@mydomain.com.

Then, for just 99 cents, you could create 5 email forwards that "funnel" into that address. Let's call one of them sales@mydomain.com. Folks could then email you at sales@mydomain.com and you'd receive it in your me@mymaindomain.com.

Then set up service@mydomain.com; same thing. Billing@mydomain.com. John@mydomain.com. Sue@mydomain.com. And so on. See how valuable email forwarding can be?

GoDaddy is extremely safe, cautious, and well advanced to its clients for several reasons:

1) They will alert you of any threats such as VeriSign's little scheme ( I have received 3 of VeriSigns little forms asking me to renew my domains )

2) When terminating a domain name they will personally call you to ensure you were the one who decided to cancel it and not a fraud.

3) Godaddy searches the main NIC servers to ensure any domain name your look to register is available, if for some reason they could not connect to the NIC servers it will alert you stating "The current domain name may be available, if you register the domain name and we later find out it was not available you will be refunded immediately" (i have not had that happen to me yet, but its nice to know).

4) Easy to use Control Panel and Domain Management Area. Changing your DNS is as simple as 1-2-3 (taking in mind it takes about a day or two for the new DNS to take effect)

5) Low prices, and better deals for the longer duration you decide to buy the domain name for.

6) FREE PARKING
