A few months ago I wrote about how GoDaddy’s inability…or lack of willingness to help customers work with wordpress, was a big mistake on their part. With the amount of blogs in the world and with wordpress being the most widely used blogging solution, you would think that GoDaddy would offer some sort of courtesy help to sync up wordpress, but of course they don’t.
More recently GoDaddy botched up an attempt to get the new “.me” domains working and a lot of people were quite upset. GoDaddy won the rights to own “.me” domains and there was a lot of anticipating and excitement behind its release. But when the time finally came to register the “.me” domains, this is the message that folks received:
“Dear “your name here,”
The following domain name has failed to be registered:
WATCH.ME
Error: WATCH.ME: cannot register – already registered
We will evaluate this error and retry the registration
if appropriate.
If we are unable to successfully register the domain
name, your account will be credited accordingly. Please
allow one business day for the refund to be processed.”
Apparently the overwhelming domain that has been building up for months came as a shock to GoDaddy, and their servers were just overloaded. Hmmm…..lot’s of folks waiting for the “.me” domain for months and now a sudden surge in demand? Big shocker there huh?
did any of you try purchasing a .me domain? what do you think of godaddy in general?
thanks for reading
