Recently, I renewed my trust in GoDaddy<\/strong> and it’s all thanks to the hard work of Joe Styler<\/strong>, who has been assisting with a lot of the issues I addressed last year.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, Joe’s patience, demeanor and ethics project sainthood<\/strong>; I am fully aware of the gravity of the word, and it’s not just a random compliment.<\/p>\n

In the many months since I went ballistic<\/em> on GoDaddy’ services, a lot of things have been ironed out. Not everything has been resolved, including the apparent need for an app-based two-factor authentication<\/strong> process that does not rely on SMS.<\/p>\n

But knowing how helpful Joe Styler has been, I am more understanding<\/strong> of the inner processes at GoDaddy than I was before. Meeting Joe at NamesCon 2015 in Las Vegas helped out tremendously as well.<\/p>\n

That being said, however, I am also taking this opportunity to “bitch<\/em>” about expired domain auctions,<\/strong> and the extra, unnecessary time it takes for paid domains to be moved to one’s account.<\/p>\n

The auction process of expired domains at GoDaddy clearly works well on behalf of the domain’s registrant; they are given ample time to renew domains, but that grace period should be over before<\/strong> the auction begins – not several days after<\/strong> it ends.<\/p>\n

At GoDaddy, some expired domain auctions end up for hundreds and thousands of dollars<\/strong>, and there’s always the possibility for domains to be renewed during the several day window after payment is made by the auction’s winner.<\/p>\n

Essentially, one’s funds might be tied up for a week, or even refunded if the registrant “wakes up” – unintentionally or otherwise<\/em> – and renews the domain.<\/p>\n

To recap: GoDaddy is cool with me, and I use it both for domain registrations and for buying expired domains. Big thanks to Joe Styler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
