customer service like you'd get from a normal web host who hosts professional sites.
Godaddy sells domains for $9 or sometimes even less. Bulkregister sells them for $12.
Others sell domains for $15. If you really need to save the $3 per year by going with the
cheapest service around, expect to get cheapo service. That's not a suprise.
unfortunately I have to disagree. domains are not expensive anymore

basically, what you just said is that if I pay $30 for a domain registration, i should expect some superior support and not get fucked around. but we all know that isn't true, hell, look at netsol.

I have NEVER had an issue with godaddy, in fact they contacted me about a year ago regarding a dmca notice they got, and they even played mediator for the dispute at no charge.

once again, domains are cheap...REALLY cheap, so those people charging $15-20 per domain reg are just making more money ripping you off, but that doesn't always mean they are providing you with more support.....yes, there are always exceptions to every rule, which is why there shouldn't be any generalizations made, and that everything should be on a case by case basis

out of the hundreds of thousands of people I have known over the years that register domains with godaddy, I have heard VERY little negative first hand accounts about how godaddy did anything out of the ordinary
