I don't know what I was thinking.
No - that's not right. I was thinking I could save a buck or two if I took my domain name registration to godaddy.com. I ignored the telltale signs of sleaziness and put up with their horrible ads because I was concentrating on my wallet...
But not anymore.
Living with the guilt by association with those ads was one thing -- but to live with the guilt by association with someone whose views on Guantanomo are severely outtastep with my own -- and then doesn't even know how to make a proper apology -- that I can't stand for.
It is unfortunate that I can't get that $8 payment back -- but I'd rather get rid of this unclean feeling then worry about getting my money back.
If you haven't heard about Bob Parson's ravings -- you can check them out for yourself here.
If you registered at godaddy, and find yourself as disgusted as me -- I followed Shellen's recommendation and went to dotster. At first I was lazy about it and sent off a quick contact to a very busy person asking where he was taking his business -- but just couldn't stomach it any longer...

If anybody knows of any consumer reports type site for recommendations for registrants -- I'd love to see it. When it comes to hosting and domain name registering -- the history for me isn't pretty and the waters are always murky -- so I'd be nice to arrange for smoother sailing in the future if, god forbid, some other asshat comes out with an even more ignorant rant.
