Hahaha... I'm guessing you had a bad experience with godady or heard of a few. I've heard of one. This one is another. That's enough to keep me away.

Anyone using godady ever get a .tv domain? I heard that if you try to get one you'll see a pop up that says "the island is sinking. We recommend getting .com, .net, .org etc..", or something like that. The island nation Tuvalu is sinking. Some are wondering where .tv domains will go once the island is under water.

I'm sure someone will take over .tv domains. I hope. I have a few. Just an interesting fact about .tv domains.

Maybe it's best if the poster of this question types in the name of
each registrar followed by "horror stories" into google.

Should be enlightening.

Godaddy has a special place in hell right next to the RIAA.
