How is this better than domai.nr? Or any other similar product of this nature?

thoughtcriminal4• 13 years ago

Domai.nr rules. I love the service. Sometimes I'll go on the site just to mess around with various word configurations.

Domai.nr links to GoDaddy too. So much for you saying, I'll never use your service not just because you deal with GoDaddy, but because you even considered dealing with GoDaddy. Never.

This is great from a sheer silly-factor. I typed in coffee and got:

coffeeprick.com coffeehymen.com coffeemucus.com

...and more! At the very least, it does come up with some unorthodox names that might work out well if you want people to remember your site.

This is neat. My only suggestion is to remove GoDaddy as the default registrar though.

I'll never use your service not just because you deal with GoDaddy, but because you even considered dealing with GoDaddy. Never.

yeah, i thought about bookmarking that service, then i realized that they link to godaddy...

kurtvarner• 13 years ago

Trust me, I don't like GoDaddy either. But they're the most popular registrar, and I think it'd be foolish of me not include them. The market much, much larger than the subset of people like us.

If you don't like GoDaddy it would be nice for you to use your service to also educate users on which registar to use. By making GoDaddy the default, you give it your approval. What might be helpful is a page explaining the registrars, or simply selecting your favorite. No reason for GoDaddy to be the default if even you don't use them.

Despite the vitriol for GoDaddy, I understand why you feel the need to include them. Don't let haters (no matter how justified their feelings) stop you from doing what you need to get a business off the ground.

Sites like these probably wouldn't exist without linking to GoDaddy.

Most visitors that use these site don't click through on the affiliate links. The few that do end up paying for the rest.

And those few that click? They use GoDaddy...

I disklike GoDaddy as much as the next guy, but if you're in the domain business you can't ignore them.

thoughtcriminal4• 13 years ago

But I can (and will) ignore you, and I spend over a thousand a year on domains for myself and clients.

I have no problem with GoDaddy. Am I alone?

purephase2• 13 years ago

On here? Probably. Their SOPA support alone is worth the derision. Their CEO is also a lunatic.
