#82Yes, if I get to them today.

#83Don't have any domains at GoDaddy, although I do have an account... Just to transfer any domains I buy from people that are on GoDaddy to NameCheap.
I use NameCheap only, have for 6 years.

#85I left GoDaddy earlier this year, when Bob Parsons made his childish Great White Hunter video killing that elephant. With the stories I've heard since about how GoDaddy already handles copyright complaints and otherwise mistreats customers, not to mention Parsons' support of torture, and of course SOPA, I can't imagine why I would ever consider giving them money—especially with how well NameCheap has treated me since…
It's amazing how much a person can bullshit to do stuff they want but they know it's not right... This Bob Parsons should be arrested.

#86I have my SSL certificates with them. These are cheap multi-domain certificates. But I'm willing to pay the extra buck, any suggestions?
Gandi.net offers free standard SSL certificates with each domain name, however they don't have multi-domain certificates.

#87The thing that surprised me most about this whole situation is that so many tech-savvy people use Godaddy. Their spammy marketing and variable pricing screams bush-league to me. I'll forgive my dad for using them cause he doesn't know he had options, but for something so fundamental, how does anyone trust them?
For me, it's because it's a one time deal. I buy the domain, set the nameservers and never go back. But I'll still move them to name.com later on.

#88My domain transfer completed today (interesting, since it said it would complete on Tuesday, but I'll chock it up to volume).
Immediately before the domain transfer, I received an e-mail indicating that GoDaddy was sorry to see my one sad domain go away. I replied asking if there is a way to completely eliminate my account with them.
As I don't expect a reply, does anyone know if GoDaddy provides a way to eliminate your account completely? I'm planning on removing saved Credit Card information and setting a random, max-length password. Far from bullet proof, but I expect I won't be doing business with them again and don't want some random hack to result in account disclosure and some troublemaker deciding to buy a bunch of services in my name. The probability is low, but the amount of anger resulting from this SOPA nonsense has to have made them a bigger target for such nefarious activities ... I'm thinking Sony from recent memory.

I had my ~10 domains registered with them for a while because they were the cheapest registrar around (with the abundant coupon codes). Now that I am no longer a broke college student I moved right over to namecheap which has been an awesome experience

#90I tried to move a week ago but GoDaddy doesn't allow transfer when Whois-Privacy is enabled. Guess that means I'm locked in because I don't want my name attached to those domains.
Maybe put in fake whois information for the day that the transfer is happening. Once it's moved, re-enable the privacy. The info doesn't even need to be fully fake, you can use a throwaway email address so that you're still reachable.
