A few months ago I started switching my domain name registrations away from GoDaddy as the domains came up for renewal ... and today I decided I might as well move the remaining ones out of GoDaddy all at once. It felt pretty good to do that, and not just for the SOPA thing.

  2. Susan Dennis I went with NameCheap, and I've been pretty happy with them so far. Right now they're offering the transfer and an added year of registration for $6.99 ... the coupon code for that is "SOPAsucks". :)

    Who are you using?

  3. Good grief, how many domain names do you have??? ;-)

    I've avoided GoDaddy based on complaints I've read about, even though they support NASCAR heavily.

  4. Scott Murdock Only a dozen of so, and some are for the business. In this day and age, that's hardly any at all. :)

    There's a long, long list of reasons to avoid GoDaddy, and virtually no reasons to stick with them ... I'm actually a little embarrassed that I waited this long to dump them.

  5. Does NameCheap support things like integrated wordpress blogs? I use GD both for domain and hosting. If I'm going to move it's going to have to be fairly easy given my business and such.

  6. Dan Brewer I would assume the hosting services of the two firms are comparable, but not having used them I can't say for sure. My sense is that for consumer accounts, the major hosting companies have pretty equal and generic offerings.

  7. Thanks, Andreas. I still have a couple of low-traffic sites stuck on MobileMe, so I need to find a new hosting service. I'll give Dreamhost a look.
