Eric, Is godaddy related to cheap-domainregistrations.com. I registered through them and noticed that they are based out of Scottsdale also. Excellent tech support. I even believe when I called one time the they mentioned godaddy which leads me to believe they are associated or owned by godaddy. If so great company. 24hr tech support and I mean tech support. Everytime I have had a problem, I have been able to get a live body and helpful techs.
