ICANN – the international consortium of assigned names and numbers are a bunch of bastards. I have my domains registered through Registerfly, I have for a few years. I've never had a problem with them, I actually love them because I almost lost one of my domains to a squatter and they actually got it back for me within a month of it expiring. But, I've heard lots of stories of people having issues, in fact a friend of mine had a few issues with them. But I haven't. So when ICANN decided, "oh hey, lets revoke their status as a registrar and PUSH everyone to GoDaddy, they paid us afterall for this." I was kind of irked. I was hoping Godaddy wouldn't be bad, but my god it is. Their site is different from their help documents. I'm having issues getting the transfer done, they don't seem to want to recognize my registerfly.com account and everything, even though its supposed to be easy for them. Okay, I'll e-mail suppport. 2 hours later, no response. Okay. I forget about it a while, they e-mail me what their website says to do, which doesn't freaking work. Hello? I said I'm a registerfly.com account and your shits not working for me, whats my customer number, it seems to reject me unless I put that in. Such a fucking headache. I can't believe this is so hard, its a bunch of entries in a database, copy, paste. Really, its probably that simple. I doubt they have a million line config file they'd have to look through to get it to work. Argh.

Anyone experience something similar? Is godaddy decent when they work? 

.end rant.

Update on 7/3/2007: My domain was registered through enom, not registerfly They were a reseller. Wow, lets see if I can get the domain away from them.
