For the love of someone’s god (because he sure as hell isn’t mine), how many times do I have to tell you delinquents to stop using GoDaddy?

Do you know how bad it breaks my heart to see some poor sap who just had his domain jacked by Godaddy, and are holding it for $200 in ransom?!  That’s no lie either, it happens all the time.  The thing is you wouldn’t think it could happen to you, but all it takes is some disgruntle fuck to turn your domain into a $200 paper weight.

GoDaddy are extortionists, and they all should be put in jail.  Check out NoDaddy.com all the info you would want and their forum is full of hatters too.

I also see all the horrendous reviews for the web hosting too.  If you actually use both, you ought to just end it.  Your life that is.  Just put the bullet in the gun and pull the fucking trigger because that would be much less painful than what could happen to you by being a GoDaddy customer.

Make the right choice for domains and user NameCheap (which I personally use and prefer), or Moniker.   If your serious about your domain names, then do the right thing and host with someone who won’t fuck you over.

NameCheap benefits:

1. Their cheap!
2. Free whois privacy!
3. Free SSL certificates!
4. A control panel that doesn’t suck!
5. Fast propagation!

I don’t think you need any other reasons.  They clearly out-gun GoDaddy.  Stop being a sucker, stop over-paying, and stop being dicked around.  They bend the rules and fuck you over – what’s up with the 60 day holds?

OK So here’s the rundown on services that are good, that you should use.

Domains – NameCheap.com – A great registrar that is fast and cheap.  Free whois protection, free ssl certs.  Pure Win!  Current coupon codes: INTERFACE ($7.95 new register domains for up to 3 years (WAS $8.81 LAST WEEK))  – SWITCH2NC (Domain transfer for $6.99 (com, net, org, biz, us, info only)) – SPRINGSUN ($8.81 new register)

Shared Hosting – HostGator.com – Baby (Crock) Plan $7.95 / mo it’s everything you need to get started.  Use coupon code WORDPRESS to get the first month for ONE CENT ($0.01)!  Some people love em, some people hate them.  It’s shared hosting, get over it or get a VPS.  I personally have had great success with them.

UnManaged VPS – VPSVille.com – Tons of options.  Latest Linux distros.  Nice control panel.  Knowledgeable staff.  Great prices.  Data Centers all over the place.  Can get multiple class-c IP’s isn’t a problem. Enough said.

Managed VPS – LiquidWeb.com – I don’t think I have ever heard of a service that people have talked so well about.  You get what you pay for.

There your set.
