I've got 24 domains registered through GoDaddy.com and they're refusing me access to all of them.
On Nov.15th 2008 I tried to log into my account and verify that the contact information on file was correct and up to date.

Their system told me that I didn't have any active domains.
I knew this was just a mistake, so I emailed GoDaddy support.
Their first response said that I had registered more than I account with them
and that was the reason for my problem. It went on to instruct me how to log in and
then link these accounts and take care of my problem.

I knew I didn't have more than 1 account, but I tried to do what they said anyway. When that failed I gathered all the information about my domains, and of course it showed that they were all registered under the same GoDaddy account.

I emailed them a list with the dates and account used to register each of the domains and asked them again to please correct their mistake and allow me access to them.

They replied back saying that I had canceled the registration of those domains on Sept.18th. 2008 and in order to re-instate them, I would have to pay a fee of $90.89 each. ($2, 181.36)
I couldn't believe what I was reading.

These jokers must be sniffing glue if they think
I'm going to give them over $2, 000 for some domains that I've already bought!

I did cancel the paid parking contract I had with GoDaddy a while back, but I would never purposely cancel ownership of all my registered domains. What idiot would?!
If I didn't want them anymore, I just wouldn't re-new them.

They even claimed to have sent an email notifying me that my domains had been canceled
and if it was a mistake, I had 60 days to contact them and have them restored free
of charge. Of course they never sent that email, and when I asked for a copy of it,
they said that it was sent to the email address on file but they were unable to provide
me a copy. No big surprise, how could they give me a copy of something that doesn't exsist?


Of course I've filed a formal complaint with ICANN & the Arizona BBB.
I doubt anything will be done about it, but at least I tried.

Hard to believe I know, but it's all true...I've got their emails to prove it.

I contacted godaddy about the prospect of having them host my business webpage. They didn't respond to several of my emails and gave generic, unrelated responses to my questions. When I escalated the matter to the administration, they justified the situation and refused to accept responsibility for not being responsive or helpful. I was surprised at the arrogant nature of their response and refusal to take responsibility or apologize for poor past service. It was an unusual response and something you get from shady businesses who get lots of complaints. I decided not to go with their service, and they made no effort to try to get my business. There are lots of other options out there and I plan to take them.

Please, do yourself a favor if looking for a cheap web host! AVOID GODADDY AT ALL COSTS!!!
http://www.godaddy.com < DO NOT USE GODADDY.COM FOR ANY WEB HOSTING, DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION OR INTERNET RELATED BUSINESS! This company is a bunch of scamming liars and crooks that will sell your valuable domains with faulty billing practices, lies, deceit, fraud and OUTRIGHT THEFT!

We own several websites, over 700. In the past 2 years, Godaddy.com has lost over 20 of our domain names THROUGH NO FAULT OF OURS! THEY WILL TELL YOU THE BILLING DIDN'T GO THROUGH, NOT SEND WARNING EMAILS AND SELL ONLY YOUR MOST VALUABLE DOMAINS!

In our case, it was adulttoy.org and naughtylingerie.net, two of our most valuable domains, sold at a huge financial loss to us, while they profit!!! THIS IS WHILE OUR AUTOMATIC BILLING WAS FINE FOR SEVERAL OTHER DOMAINS!!! THIS COMPANY IS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF LYING, SCAMMING, THIEVING CROOKS OUT TO STEAL YOUR DOMAINS (IF YOU HOLD SEVERAL) AND SELL THEM WITHOUT WARNING!!! WE IMPLORE YOU TO USE ANY OTHER REGISTER OR HOST BUT GODADDY!

Godaddy has done this to us 4 times now!!! We were duped into staying with them as they supposedly gave us better customer service reps each time who assured us that it 'would never happen again'. The first time, they sold 4 lesser value domains on us in 2005. Then in 2006, they did it again, with 2 lesser value domains.

They did it again in 2007, losing 14 of our domains, (all were on AUTOMATIC residual billing on the same credit card THAT HAD THOUSANDS IN THE ACCOUNT AND WAS ONLY USED FOR GODADDY!!!) This time, they sold the best domain at a profit, adulttoy.org and gave us the other lesser valued domains back, as if they did us a favor. Mind, we contacted our GoDaddy 'Executive Support' (some lying mope named Dean)representative several times with these emails saying our domains were expiring, first, Dean told us no domains were expiring, after they were lost, he told his supervisors this never happened. Total LIAR! We were fighting with them for 5 months over the loss of this domain and were told to pick another domain off of Godaddy.com's aution site, http://www.tdnam.com.

After we spent months removing the domain they lost from our other site links, after we spent days going over the www.tdnam.com domains for sale, when we find a comparable name, they then tell us it needs to be from the expired auctions, which are all garbage domains. This supervisor, a real winner named Rod Browning, told us to go back to the original rep that lost our domains to begin with. UNREAL DISGUSTING IDIOTS! At this time, we find out they did it to us again, losing 4 domains, including naughtylingerie.net, which was sold without ANY PRIOR WARNING OR EMAIL!!!

Then, this sap of a rep tells us to pay Godaddy.com a redemption fee to get the other domains back, but the best one was already sold, 3 DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED THE ONLY EMAIL SAYING THESE DOMAINS WERE IN JEOPARDY! This idiotic customer service rep that works in Bob Parsons office (Godaddy president), his name is John Godbehere, it is a very unique name, there are a few listings for him in Scotsdale, Arizona and we suggest you track him down if you are having problems with Godaddy. No doubt he is at one of these addresses or numbers and would be incredibly easy to find.

The best part is after all the ways Godaddy screwed us over, they then call the police because we threatened to fly to Scotsdale, Arizona to discuss the matter in person. The police called our partner at 1:00am, waking him and his family from bed in the middle of the night. Godaddy is a scam, ripoff, lying, deceitful, dirty foul company that you would be wise to avoid at all costs. There are several other, much better webhosts available, dont give these nasty crooks one penny or control of your domains unless you want to go through something like this.

This company is run by a bunch of no good crooks, from Bob Parsons down to the lowlifes that have added features to our accounts, expensive features we did not need or ask for, almost every time we called for assistance. As unreal as it sounds, this company has done it all and more to us. They put our domains into several expensive Blue Razor (http://blurazor.com) accounts without our permission, costing us an extra 3k a year. They sold our best domains that were worth thousands of dollars, not even including all the money, time, work that has been put out to fix the first problems they caused. This is thousands of dollars more! They signed us up for expensive email accounts we didn't ask for and never used since we didn't even know we had them until recently, and they also signed us up for some idiotic thing called 'Investor's Edge', which apparently is for site investors, however this is something we never asked for either, we never received signup emails for this stuff, nothing. It was as if they thought they have full run of your credit card and can do whatever they wanted with it, including selling your domains from under you and using the 'it was a billing problem' excuse with everyone and it is all BS! There is also a class action lawsuit that is apparently starting for this as well, you can contact http://www.internetlitigators.com for more info. As it is, we will be pursuing both our own suit as well as joining any class action suit that is started as well. And if you want more information, if you need any assistance with your own cases, we will be more than happy to provide any help we can.

We will be posting this multiple times on several boards, so if you see it multiple times, we are only doing it as a warning for others to stay far away from this disgusting webhost or things will get really ugly like they are about to get with us. And this John Godbehere, he is nothing but the true meaning of a jerkoff, a liar and a punk scumbag.

So you know, if you have a problem as well, they all work on the same team and DO NOT expect relief trying to go through their own reps. They are all lying dirtbags and this company should be investigated by the FBI! And if the FBI (FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION) should read this, Godaddy is nothing but front for a theft ring and MULTIPLE billing scams, they NEED TO BE investigated and closed down! Reported to all agencies including the Better Business Bureau! There is a reason you never hear about Godaddy anymore. It's because they suck, and are the true meaning of RIPOFF! Just look at the other complaints here about them. We are not endosing anyone else, we just want you to know the truth of what they did to us, after we gave them tens of thousands of dollars in business over the past few years.

They will be hearing from our attorneys now, we might just take that plane out there to discuss this in person, that is how mad this has gotten us! Avoid these headache inducing dirtbags at Godaddy at all costs please! Just do yourself a favor and look somewhere else! Anywhere else but Godaddy!!!

DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH GODADDY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
