OK I WOKE UP PISSED

Post by Uncle Jesse »

Sorry for the fiasco this morning. It's a long story. Basically, months ago I realized I was locked out of my register.com account so I contacted them and they were less than helpful getting me access. I got so frustrated I hung up on the guy and switched most of my domains to godaddy.com. godaddy is cheaper and those folks are friendly.

So, since I was locked out, I was not getting my renewal emails. Today the domain expired so I called and renewed for a year and since I was renewing they sent me a password renewal email.

I am fed up and sick and tired of register.com so even though I just re-upped for a year, I am going to switch over to godaddy.com in the next few days. I've just had too much hassle over the years with register.com and their "support". Also, they charge a lot of $$ just to serve up DNS which is ridiculous.

So, sorry for the downtime. It's partially my fault for being forgetful, but I'm going to permanently take care of that problem soon enough.

That is probably why for a short time this came up on the URL.

Yep.

And the email they promised to send didn't arrive. I'm on the phone with them now. So pissed at register.com!

Hey there Uncle Jesse,
It's all good stuff happens to us all. I woke up sick from tamales so, I get it.

Thanks for your service to us all,

Sad how customer service and reliability seems to not be a priority there.
Changing service providers will get your point across ..I've heard pretty good feedback about godaddy, hopefully they'll satisfy your needs ..Couldn't be much worse.

If you're not completely sold on GoDaddy, you might take a look at asmallorange.com. I used to have a couple sites with them, and have nothing but positive things to say about them, particularly their customer service.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just passing on my good experience.

My first thought was , 'If this doesn't get resolved how do we find a workaround to preserve our family ?' Decided to give it 24 hrs before I went into panic mode and started calling all the members I have direct contact with . Glad to see at least some temporary resolution .
