[ale] GoDaddy - Re: Domain Registrar

[Lightner, Jeff]

A good idea to separate Registrar and hosting - many of the acquisitions
we do have small web hosting companies that like to pretend THEY own the
domain rather than the customer that is paying for the hosting.   By
ICANN rules the person listed as the registrant DOES own it so you have
to resort to threat of litigation OR "buy" the domain from them to avoid
downtime for your web site.   Unfortunately many people don't know the
difference between web hosting and domain registration so don't find out
until they decide to move to another hosting company, in house, or sell
the business.

What registrar do you use, then?


I use Godaddy for some of the "cheap" domains but my main domains are
with 000domains. No real reason, and GoDaddy does provide IPv6 glue.
