I used to work there. People complain that they use deceptive practices, like a low intro rate and then very high cost automatic renewals. About 3-4 years ago they were bought by some private equity firms and they have been in the process of basically rewriting all their products. I was involved in a one year full rewrite which was later scrapped in favor of reselling Office 365 instead.

Interesting. As someone from the industry, which other companies would you recommend?

Especially because you cannot even read them without JavaScript or signing up.

Does this work for you? https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=forum/tm... It works here with Firefox+noscript, but in w3m it messes up when you read an article and forces you to a "need JS" page. I might have added some other hack somewhere in FFx ages ago to get groups working that I've forgotten about.

What are the specific concerns with GoDaddy? I've been using them only as a domain registrar, and, well, they do register my domains.. I didn't know there were issues of the same magnitude as with SourceForge. What registrar do you use?

https://dnsimple.com/ I'm a happy customer, and I also used to work with the founder, Anthony Eden. He's a great guy, and so is the product.

>>> People complain that they use deceptive practices, The last company I worked for had all of their public domains registered through them. The funny thing they figured out was if they registered for a domain or a service, they would get all the way through the order, then wait a day before processing. Like clockwork, the next day the sys admins would get a 30% off coupon for the stuff they had just started to sign…
