    If you are or were using Godaddy did you move your domain away from them during the Godaddy boycott? I moved 4 domains to namecheap to support the boycott and I was looking for a reason to start using namecheap anyway.

    I have not, although I am sorta considering it. However, I heard they now require a photo ID to transfer? So I probably can't now :(

    No I don't think that is true :p

    Damn.. Well Godaddy sucks even more then. They are stopping people from moving away from them.

    Precisely ;)
    So, if SOPA ever passes Godaddy domain holders will be screwed :)
    Of course, the internet will likely implode when said bill does pass(if ever) ;)

    I heard an interesting insight somewhere that Godaddy helped form SOPA and Godaddy is exempt from it. So if it does pass Godaddy wouldn't be liable for anything and couldn't be shut down using SOPA but it would continue to shut down thousands of domains and place their ads on them and make a profit.

    I hate internet fatcats like this.

    I think you mean fascists :p
    If that's true, I think I would just rage quit :cool:

    Just post a photo of an elephant as your ID, they'll let you move very quickly.

    I have a domain now that I am using from them, and I have no issues with them, I even asked if at any time will I be able to move the domain and they said yes.

    I would of done had Godaddy not suspended my account because a paypal was used on it that they didn't like the look of.

    Tin, I don't understand what you're saying. If you have a genuine PayPal account, they would not suspend you. If you live in a country where piracy is rampant, they will be cautious. But that's true for many hosts.

    FYI: I've moved most of my domains away. I'm selling 3 of them, but obviously I won't advertise them in this thread.

    Peace,
    Gene
