The GoDaddy Saga Continues

First time accepted submitter wbr1 writes "Domain registrar Namecheap is accusing GoDaddy of violating ICANN rules and hindering domain owners from moving their domains to another registrar. They are allegedly doing this by submitting incomplete information to the new registrar, making it difficult to process the move." Adds user bs0d3: "Godaddy has responded to these allegations today and insist that their practice of rate limiting Whois queries is standard practice to combat Whois abuse. Furthermore, they accuse Namecheap of playing foul because they released a statement before ever contacting godaddy directly to resolve these issues."

But of course they would

If they create artificial means so that their customers would have trouble moving away from them, that would mean more customers, more publicity, a more tech-savvy image, robustness and.. Oh wait...

Please, don't compare GoDaddy to prostitutes. At least the services prostitutes offer are honest.

All things considered, I'd have to believe Namecheap over GoDaddy, regardless of how hot Danica Patrick is.

Yeah regarding her, that is just weird. In the specific area that godaddy operates in, that being wanna be models who also have a promotional accessory line of domain registration, are there any other hotties out there with a DNS registrar as a marketing gimmic who I could transfer my domains to? I think having her own domain registrar is much trendier than the traditional model accessory line of clothes and perfumes and small dogs in purses and adopted foreign babies and such. The netsol CEO guy just isn't doing it for me, I'm sure he's a nice guy but I'm looking for someone more, uh, female. I'm pretty close to posting a personals ad in the local newspaper "distinguished older engineer seeks hottie for domain registration services, please send pix of router and/or firewall".

Not true

I am not sure all prostitutes offer honest service, but I have yet to meet one who prevented you from pulling out when you wanted!

But just like prostitutes, if you aren't careful and just go with the cheapest, most-used offering (GoDaddy), you might end up with more than you bargained for.
