If you intend to renew somewhere else, I suggest you transfer sooner rather than later. Transfers within the 60 days before renewal can be tricky, as hinted below. I worked at GD for 2 years, and still have friends there. I wouldn't work there again, but have no problem giving them my business... compared to a lot of other registrars. -j ----- Original Message ---- From: keith smith To: Main PLUG discussion list Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 7:51:32 PM Subject: Re: Domain names & GoDaddy you do not have to wait to move a domain until renewal. You do not loose anythime either. there is an exception. If you move the domain within 60 days of renewal you may loose your renewal period. augie wrote: On Tuesday 31 October 2006 4:06, plug-discuss-request@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us wrote: > From: Darrin Chandler > Subject: Domain names & GoDaddy > To: Main PLUG discussion list > Message-ID: <20061031223642.GT23706@zloy.stilyagin.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > A while back I and others were talking about domain names and I had > mentioned some dubious points about GoDaddy and back ordered domains.

I, however did get ripped off by GoDaddy. I paid them the money for them to park my domain name, but then next time I checked the domain had been re assigned to somebody else. So next time my other domain comes up for renewal, guess who won't be getting my money.
