"Once every 2 weeks seems a little much, perhaps." - David Risley

"Yeah, they're good. Just simple. The anti-thesis to GoDaddy, really." - David Risley

"You can turn that function off, you know." - David Risley

"I've heard that rumor about GoDaddy. I have no way to know for sure whether it is true, and honestly, so far it seems like an urban legend of the Internet. :-) But, again, I have no idea. If it happened to you, then there you go. And yeah, while I have no direct experience with 1&1, I've heard the same about them." - David Risley

"$100 to give you access back to your own site? Weird." - David Risley

"I'm glad you've had no issues with GoDaddy. But, I have. And, this post wasn't written in order to drop an affiliate link. But, when I do link to something and I have an aff link handy, I use it." - David Risley

"Yes. I asked Aweber that, and they said when you delete a segment, it just removed the categorization and not the subscribers. But, then again, good to ask them again, to be sure. I know, when it comes for me to delete a segment where I want the emails gone, I would go through Aweber support to make sure it is done right. :-)" - David Risley

"Is Dog Poop a hosting company? j/k ;-)" - David Risley

"That strikes as a load of BS. If I'm not mistaken, ICANN has a 60-day wait on domain transfers. So, you couldn't purchase or transfer a domain, then do it again within 60 days. That's pretty standard. But, in terms of simply canceling an INTERNAL subscription inside of GoDaddy, I don't see how that would come into play at all. I think this is an internal thing GoDaddy is doing. Nothing more. And another way to screw with people, if you ask me." - David Risley

"Yeah, Hostgator blows GoDaddy away." - David Risley

"Nice. :-) Not too familiar with InMotion, but glad you're happy with them." - David Risley

"Wow. What reason do they give for that?" - David Risley

"Transferring out of Godaddy isn't super hard, but yes, they do make it confusing.  (1) Make sure the transfer lock is turned OFF, to enable the domain to be transferred. (2) The new registrar will need what's called an EPP code. In GoDaddy, this is called the "Authorization code". Hit the link to have that code emailed to you. You'll need to make sure your admin contact email on your domain is still valid so you will get that email. (3) Once you enter the EPP code at the new registrar, wait a bit. Then, you'll get another email with a link you need to click to confirm the transfer. Do that. (4) Lastly, you'll have to visit the page for "Pending Transfers" on GoDaddy and accept the change. It is kind of complicated. Some of it is because of ICANN transfer policies, but surely, some of it is because GoDaddy makes it hard to figure out for their target clientele." - David Risley
