While I worked there over a year ago they had a policy that any one godaddy customer could do a back order.<br><br>Now that does not stop other registrars from creating one or more back orders.&nbsp; <br><br>I think godaddy want to be fair in a M$ kinda way :)&nbsp; from what I saw.&nbsp; Now since I said that there will be a process server at my door in the next few days with a court order for me to stop talking about them.&nbsp; So shhhhhh nobody tell on me :)<br><br>I did find one disturbing change.&nbsp; I moved a client to their hosting and could not recall how to check the site before changing the name servers.&nbsp; I checked on line for more than afew minutes.&nbsp; 2 calls to customer support and both times I was offered a static IP and was told there was no temp URL anymore.<br><br>Hummmm ... Thanks to someone on this or another list I was able to check the site and ftp directly to it by changing my computers DNS to the hosting name servers.&nbsp; Was a real cool
