Can GoDaddy be that slow at forwarding?!

[none]

I reg'd a couple of domains and set them to forward to affiliate pages.

30 minutes later, they're still 'parked' with GD's default page.

How long do they take to update forwarding?

I'd give it a couple hours. Shouldn't take very long.

Thanks -- every other registrar I've dealt with has been very fast. I wonder if it's a question of leeching every little bit of 'float' that they can.

my experience is 12-24hrs with them, their customer service and support is really poor

"their customer service and support is really poor"

Agreed. Their customer service and support is basically one big autoresponder.

You guys really feel that way? I love GoDaddy! I haven't found anyone to beat them yet; in price nor in service. If you found someone better, let me know.

Very easy :

Moniker.com pwns all.

I had a quesiton about a transfer, emailed them, no response for 2.5 days. Called their support and I knew more then the guy on the other side of the line!

It just depends on who you get, a tech or a new one coming in. They actievly train them. Just got to find one that knows it all and deal with them only.

Oh about the forwarding, to make it go faster, on the total dns control change the ip to 64.202.189.170 for domains being forwarded this year and beyond

Same here, a noticeable lag in the url forwarding update.

Man, godaddy has been great for me takes me 2 min to get it to forward.. must have been bad luck.. I have noticed it does take longer already DNS'd domains..

 

[mark]

maybe they should be spending more money on customer service reps than super bowl ads

 

[Jonathan]

The thing is Bob doesn't actually care about his existing customers. He's just going for new ones all the time. He banks on the ones that aren't going to jump through his installed hoops to transfer their domain name.

Have you guys ever tried to transfer a domain away from Moniker ? In the name of security they put so many obstacles in your way.

Godaddy is economical, user friendly and secure. That is my experience.
