Comments on: Why I switched from GoDaddy to Name.com http://www.apriltara.com/406/why-i-switched-to-name-dot-com/ Thoughts on Social Media, Music Marketing and More Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:49:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Alok http://www.apriltara.com/406/why-i-switched-to-name-dot-com/comment-page-1/#comment-2894 Alok Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:12:21 +0000 http://www.apriltara.com/?p=406#comment-2894 With such a simple uncluttered interface I won't think many people who generally manage more than few sites would need for any support. I don't know how I came to know about name.com but I am really thankful that I almost started my web-designing career with them. We generally go through lots of different registrar/reseller interfaces for our client's sites but till now I am yet to find an interface which is simpler than name.com . And I haven't done much extensive pricing comparison but I have stopped doing it because I am more than happy with name.com . I wish them great success.

But I'm moving my 30 domains there from Moniker anyway. Moniker has a very poor customer support. It's not how they treat customers, it's simply the fact that they won't answer the phone. They also charge for redirects, at almost the same prices they do for registering domain names. Very little there in the way of freebies or bonus products. I've managed to learn how to use Moniker's interface, but many people swear at it for being so confusing. Better than Godaddy, but definitely gets outclassed by Name.com's offerings.

And other companies make that way worse than godaddy. 2) If you have 24-7 phone in support with name.com, then you have something to compare to. I find that service unbeatable when "in need." 3) Godaddy always gave the customer the benefit of the doubt, refunds, etc, unless it was simply impossible due to issue. Maybe name.com is better, I'm open to that, but I'll bet there are "issues" whoever you are with. I used to work at godaddy, so here’s my thoughts.

I'm loving Headway! I've still got some changes I want to make but just haven't had the time since it involves doing some graphics first. But once those are done, it'll take me like 10 minutes to make the changes in Headway.

I had a domain with GoDaddy and wanted to transfer to Bluehost. Everything fine with Bluehost end but GoDaddy was a nightmare. And yes, they're navigation leaves a lot to be desired, even after the redesign. Speaking of redesigns, very funky theme you have here :) Ouch, April, I feel you on this.
