Would you trust GoDaddy to keep expensive or domains generating a lot of $$$?
Would you trust Go Daddy to keep domains generating a lot of $$?
or worth a lot?
Are they reliable as all other regitars?
Can anyone give me examples of expensive or domains doing a lot of transactions hosted at GoDaddy?
Thanks

There are still many popular domains present at GoDaddy that are doing large transactions or are big themselves. I can't give more details due to various reasons.

The best place to keep expensive and important domains is network solutions right?

Kidding aside, if you really want a registrar that focuses on online
security and is amenable to giving lower prices, lookup moniker.
But they recently upgraded, so tread carefully.

I think you would be fine as far as registering a domain. But considering they are a reseller of a reseller, I wouldn't expect their support to be as efficient as a registrar/webhost that actually owns the severs they sell domains/hosting on. In the event of a problem, I'd imagine they would have to make several calls to get to a person who would be able to physically checkup on the server providing the domain/hosting in question.

If you have $$$ domains at godaddy move them quickly ...
they wont lose them ,but can place them in an unreachable place that will take you weeks to gain access.

For me personally as of today, I've never had a bit of trouble with Godaddy. The one time I had questions, the email support was very fast, helpful and courteous.

sure ,
they updated a their database and place several of my personal domains and customers in various accts,that I did not have access to.(I was listed as TECH/ADMIN contacts but not owner of names)
It took several weeks to obtained access again, only AFTER filling a complaint with ICANN ,did they correct their mistake.

GoDaddy has lacking customer support, and has "allowed" domains operated by people I know to be stolen. These were not small sites by any stretch of the imagination (250,000-1M unique/day). This is either bad customer service, or a corporate conspiracy. Either way, it sucks.
For $3 more per year, I use Verio.

I trust godaddy as well - but their support lacks.
That said no - they're not going to steal your domain or anything silly-stupid.

Many people don't like GoDaddy but this doesn't imply they are Evil and all they want is to get the worse reputation.
They are or will be really soon, the largest domain registrar, they aren't THAT BAD but if you're looking to get the best out the money you invest in a domain name I would recommend going with Namecheap.

We have over 300 domains registered safely at GoDaddy. Just lock your domain, and all will be well.
Make sure your email information is current on your domains.

I have a domain which generates no revenue, and the closest thing to practicality is sharing pictures with the local canoe and kayak club. It's registered and hosted by Godaddy. So far I have no reason to distrust Godaddy. For hosting, server reliability has been excellent, and support adequate and reasonable for a simple site and an inexpensive plan. If I were doing something that involves serious money I would probably look for a host with more of a reputation for a higher level of support, for which I would expect to pay more.

I have used GoDaddy.com for a couple of years and have so far not got any serious problems like loosing a domain or related. If it was a very important domain would I consider a registrar like Register.com which have a fast and professional support service, but a registrar like Enom is also reliable.

I hear several people mentioning namecheap in here as though they are completely unaware that namecheap is a reseller !!
It's possible they may have applied for their own registar status (can be easily checked at ICANN site) but as for the last time I looked, yup, they were still one of e-noms best resellers!!
G'luck guys !

Many of our users keep telling us that they are still closed on nights, weekends and holidays. Is this not true?
