Argh . . . Since when have we allowed threads to devolve into voting for or against a service provider? I guess it's all my fault for not jumping on this faster. Please reference the Domain Forum Charter for clarification. :0(

I think the fact that GoDaddy is well known as one of the largest, if not the largest registrar of domains, makes the case for whether GoDaddy is a prudent choice.

What might be a bit more interesting to consider was exactly why GoDaddy was the final choice versus Enom, Moniker, Verisign, etc. I haven't read into this but can anyone comment: Was there competitive bidding for this batch of new customers? Did the deal go to the lowest bidder? Was this not really a very desirable deal from the POV of any registrar - since the registrar would likely be on the receiving end of a large number of very unhappy or 'sensitive to issues' people?

Would you want a sudden influx, into your business, of new clients that are likely in a state of upset, outrage, etc.?
