Can GoDaddy really be the choice of domainers? This is just a quickie report, folks. I was transferring out Wigstore.org from GoDaddy to Moniker, and thought everything was fine. The renewal date was coming up, so I wanted to get the domain over to Moniker in case I wanted to sell it through Snapnames (a very easy process for domains registered at Moniker).

Solution to Non paying bidders at domain aftermarket businesses I personally hate seeing domain names bid on at domain name aftermarket services like SnapNames.com, NameJet.com, Sedo.com etc.
Many times, prices are inflated due to the fact that one or some bidders never planned on PAYING anyway. This is a problem for these aftermarket services and can also make our domain industry look bad. This ...
