I just finished moving all my domains off GoDaddy and onto ZoneEdit (who now
resells for Dotster).  Dotster will yank your domain for spamming, but
doesn't have GoDaddy's catchall clause... nor do they tend to want to spam
you once a month, nor do they have a CEO who is frankly quite daft....

(Parsons wanted to buy Super Bowl ads which, given Janet Jackson's behavior
two years ago, were just WAY over the line for CBS... he's playing the
victim card in his blog.  Just.... unseemly.  I don't want my registrar
throwing away dollars like that.)

I'm a big fan of ZoneEdit; I've used them for .... well, this will be five
years next month; they've done a damn fine job with DNS, the first five
zones are free, and I was all too happy to let'em take my registrations
too.  

Given the no warning aspect of it, I'm *really* glad I'm not on GoDaddy
anymore.  If Parsons will pull the plug with no warning for MySpace, I can
only imagine what he'd do for the spooks.  

Paranoid?  Moi?  Shirley, you jest.  Not with an attorney general who
doesn't believe in _habeas corpus_, it's not paranoid.  Merely prudent.

Which is also why I run Linux.
