GoDaddy and Transfer Issues
6
Posted by Tamar, Namecheap Community Manager on 26th December 2011

We wanted to give our customers a quick update on the status of domain transfers associated with one of our competitors, GoDaddy.

First, we’re very sorry that some of you in the past 24 hours have experienced delays in transferring domains over to us.

As many customers have recently complained of transfer issues, we suspect that this competitor is thwarting efforts to transfer domains away from them.

Specifically, GoDaddy appears to be returning incomplete WHOIS information to Namecheap, delaying the transfer process. This practice is against ICANN rules.

We at Namecheap believe that this action speaks volumes about the impact that informed customers are having on GoDaddy’s business.

It’s a shame that GoDaddy feels they have to block their (former) customers from voting with their dollars. We can only guess that at GoDaddy, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Don’t worry – each and every transfer request will be processed manually by our team. Every request will go through. We won’t rest until everyone who wants to join the Namecheap family can do so!

Well, when GoDaddy tricks people to think that they are cheap by doing Cheap domains the first year and then go up in price it's their fault..

I never use GoDaddy because of this :P
 
For all the people quoting dailychanges.com numbers for "GoDaddy lost 21k customers yesterday!" or equivalent, the numbers you are quoting don't actually mean a damn thing in relationship to how much business they have gained or lost.

The numbers that dailychanges.com reports are the number of domains that change Primary and Secondary Name Servers to/from GoDaddy's name servers. This essentially means that the numbers listed are only domains which GoDaddy hosts DNS for, and has absolutely nothing to do with management of the actual domain being transferred to or from GoDaddy's control.

To put this in context - every time a GoDaddy controlled domain is not renewed, they change the name servers to their own so it goes to their "parked domain" page. This will show up under dailychanges.com's "transferred in" statistic. Every time someone switches from using GoDaddy's hosted DNS service to providing their own DNS service (or using another provider) it will show up as a transfer out, without the domain actually transferring away from GoDaddy's control. This means that the statistics that they provide are almost entirely worthless for gauging (with any accuracy) how much business they have gained or lost in the mean time as the only people who will be reflected by the "transferred out" numbers are people who were using GoDaddy to host their domain as well. Sites like Wikipedia are not reflected in these statistics because they host their own DNS, and will not show up as ever having changed because dailychanges.com doesn't actually track who the registrar is that controls each domain.

This could mean that the numbers are actually quite higher. It could also mean that the numbers are quite a bit lower. Either way, the numbers provided do not accurately reflect how much business they have actually lost. It will take access to quite a bit more information before anyone can make a claim either way.
