I was on the road today heading to a meeting and while traveling I decided to break out my Pleth. GoDaddy is also a mogul nowadays that I would be stupid not to mention, they are probably one of the largest now, if not the king outright, when it comes to domain registrars.
For years I have dreaded dealing with Network Solutions when we would pick up a client that had their domain with them because it has always been such a chore to transfer their domains out to our registrar for management. I am not alone in feeling this way either, most webmasters and hosting firms that manage domain names for their clients all hate Network Solutions, or at least all of the ones that I have spoken with. It’s sad when a hosting company or web developer has to form a strong opinion like that about a registrar, it’s just not necessary. At the end of the day, they simply hold the domain name, how hard should it be to keep everyone happy?
I have probably went on about this long enough, it’s just a bad business practice I wanted to draw attention to, and one that I can’t imagine is still allowed, again, where is ICAAN in all of this??
