I have an expiring domain I am going to renew at Godaddy. Though I know it expires in 3 days, I have received a phone call from them yesterday and a phone call today telling me it's going to expire! Right now, as I am renewing it, they have hit me with a new charge. Because I opted for a free privacy registration when I first acquired the name, I now must pay them $8 a year extra! I cannot cancel the privacy registration. What does my .com renewal come out to be? $18! I am never using GoDaddy again!

You can cancel your privacy registration but you need to do it at http://www.domainsbyproxy.com . You should have been issued with the log in details when you first signed up for it. Once you cancel this, you will only be billed the domain name fees without the privacy thing. They are just trying to upsell you a feature so that they can be profitable.
I just went through this with Godaddy - what a hassle. I had 2 domains with privacy & they were all set to expire within a few days. I had changed ISP's in December, effectively losing all my login info for domainsbyproxy - I spent hours trying to sort it out. . . and ended up having to send a copy of my ID to domainsbyproxy to prove I am me. I spent $35 to renew 2 domains for a year - and I am still waiting on a reply from domainsbyproxy nearly a week later. domainsbyproxy is either owned or operated by the same company as Godaddy. I called the support phone # for domainsbyproxy and was connected with someone who had access to my godaddy account - but couldn't do anything for me regarding my domainsbyproxy account; go figure.
I am sorry for your troubles. For the benifit of others, save that darned email that provides your username and password from every site that sends one. That is all you need to log in and cancel anything. You may have to go back and search through a few years worth of mail to find it; but if, you saved it it will be there.
Yes - that would have been a huge timesaver. I had a hard drive fail & at that time I only did backups for programs,drivers and my website backups. Now I backup my outlook every month to dual backup disks with my other monthly backups.
I have a domain with them that I need to renew in 2 weeks. I also had private rego. You need to log into DomainsbyProxy & cancel the private rego. Once that's gone, you should be able to renew without getting wacked with a fee for private rego.
Chances are that you'll have to guess your login details at domainsbyproxy.com before you can cancel a domain's privacy (you disregarded their email regarding domainbyproxy details when registering the domain and it's gone now etc.). What I did was push the domain to a new godaddy account I registered for that purpose. Privacy registration is lost when doing that, and you don't need to login at domainbyproxy at all.
I've been using Namecheap now for my domain registrations and they are top notch. I highly recommend them.
I was just looking at the GoDaddy domain registration procedures I saw that they give free hosting n 100 email ids too...its true ??
Go for Google hosted email service and you will no longer need to be worried about losing your email once you change registrar or hosting provider.
