I didnt write that post for promotion or something like this but, for example, with www.ixwebhosting.com in 10 minutes i get all answers needed. (but they are not using paypal, thats something negative) I am using internet services since 1999. WE ARE IN 2007 ! Is possible for a services provider to let me waiting 36 hours for an answer? And all answers (help in fact) START WITH "we apologize for any inconvenience" .... ok ok , you apologize using my time and my money ! Come on guys! We spending our money! And they need to make our work EASILY ! not a nightmare ! Is about 3 hours since i removed (canceled) all my deals with godaddy and my panel blocked. Only errors. And, in fact, all i want is TO UNLOCK MY Credit card and PayPal from their hands !!!!! I am sorry, but i have this right ! You have my word, i removed my domains FOR EVER. Even they are not longer than 5 days. I dont waste my time and my nervs with a cheap service. I lost about 100$........ nevermind, i hope they will be happy to resell my domains again ! When i called support, i didnt get it, and now, after 3 hours since i removed everything from my shoppings, i get this: We are sorry to discover that you will no longer be using our services. Your opinion is important to us! Could you please take a moment to let us know why you are canceling your service and how we can improve for you? Just go to ........ and they give me a link to waste another time to tell them why i am mad ! And thats all story start because one of my customers told me "i want godaddy domains, are cheap. dont let me to spend a fortune in another place" Ok, done..... you can see the results (him as well)
i have tried both! and both are good, though for yahoo they don't allow to upload htaccess! so that's a huge limitation, but other than that, everything is fine with yahoo!
@zippo that really sucks..but most big companies make you wait for support..HP is even worse. yeah it stinks, but its the price that you pay for getting cheap domain names.
I would "NEVER" buy hosting from registrars, I have seen many clients suffering cause of the reason that they baught both domain and hosting from same place. GoDaddy / eNom / Directi would be a safe place to purchase domains and then host them with a host whose fulltime business is hosting only...
Between Godaddy and Yahoo, definitely Go Daddy. I don't know why, possibly because they are more experienced in the field.
I have to stick with godaddy because I've heard about domain transferring problems with Yahoo (apparently it's more difficult).
I found both Yahoo and GoDaddy to be unresponsive to problems and unprofessional in nature. I don't think I can trust either one. Instead I've been using Dynadot, which though more expensive provides more service and IMHO more reliability. Generally for web services, I think one gets what one pays for. A domain name is very important (except for speculators) so I'm happy to pay an extra dollar or two per year.
I use both www.1and1.com www.upnames.com. and have also heard good things about www.name.com. And for hosting www.bluehost.com www.siteplot.com www.mydosty.com
Neither. I prefer Netfirms. GoDaddy is a rip-off, and they're ultra-slow. I've never tried Yahoo, but from what I've seen with their web-hosting, I don't think it would be that good.
