Domain names & GoDaddy

[keith smith]

While I worked there over a year ago they had a policy that any one godaddy customer could do a back order.

Now that does not stop other registrars from creating one or more back orders.  

I think godaddy want to be fair in a M$ kinda way :)  from what I saw.  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.  So shhhhhh nobody tell on me :)

I did find one disturbing change.  I moved a client to their hosting and could not recall how to check the site before changing the name servers.  I checked on line for more than afew minutes.  2 calls to customer support and both times I was offered a static IP and was told there was no temp URL anymore.

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.  Was a real cool solution.

was enlightened a bit about the whole process (thanks!).

As of a few minutes ago, I am the new owner of the domain that I had
backordered. No hidden costs or anything. It's just mine for a bit more
than I would have paid for a normal registration, after a fairly short
wait. Now I have the .COM to go with my .NET domain. Yah!

After I had less than glowing things to say before, just thought I
should let you know the process worked fine after all.
