The Go Daddy Group which includes Wild West Domains have a system where the Real Rip Off starts when the domain lapses. Take a look at this web site http:www.ecosolarheating.net The content is not about Solar but exposes the "Insider Trading" and "Conflicts of Interest" within the Go Daddy Group and Wild West Domains. It Could Happen to You ! Would you like to see what happens when the domains expire?

The less service, hidden help telephone numbers and failure to do anything to assist. I don't get it, but it's big bucks. The Wild West folks (just on that name alone) own nearly 4% of all the domain offerings and that number is going up weekly. I think they buy abandoned names from other companies (or claim them) and put up bogus content for Google ads. I don't quite understand it, but it's something like the dot.com thing. On the surface, the product doesn't make any money, but investors want some of the action. Kind of like making gold from water. Guess that is what happens when people have more money than brains..... or when paper money becomes so cheap that it has no value.  I'm new to the Internet, but I think they want folks to let the domains just sit until they expire.

I have been trying for the last four hours to find where my domain name is registered and rest assured it is not where I believed it to be and low and behold have discovered it to be registered with wild west domains. Is this even legal to transfer my domain name without my consent? Funny I should stumble upon this website.

Parsons, Neil Warner, and 2 or 3 other people. They are the perpetrators of this scam. They are the ones that hide behind those corporations. All the following corporations/domain names are theirs: "Go Daddy Group Inc.", "Go Daddy.com, Inc.", "Domains By Proxy", "Wild West Domains", and "Domain875.com". They operate from mail boxes (PMBs), so that physically they cannot be found. For example the address of "15111 N.Hayden Road, Ste. 160, Box 353, Scottsdale, AZ 85260" is just a mailbox in a "UPS Store", formerly known as "Mailboxes, Etc." They're scam artists. And they're awful. I spent most of 2009 trying to get my domains out of their hands. They made the process horrible and then said "it's for your protection". Which was just a flimsy excuse. The truth is, it is to make it too hard to get my domains out of their hands! 5. As to one of my domains, which had a good, catchy name, they scammed even more aggressively. They "confiscated" it, and then said "it was for your protection". Which was just a flimsy excuse. The truth was, they extracted domain from me, for their benefit, so that they could keep it, for their benefit, or to resell it later, for big bucks! To call their support? I did that many-many times. And it's a toll call and you will be lucky if they answer within 30 minutes. All of us, all the public, should avoid them! Yes, I agree, they are scam artists and should be brought to justice. Day after day they are blocking sites and not allowing transfers. A class action suit should be brought against them and any of their so called dummy retailers that are just as unscrupulous as they are. To log in to my account at domain875.com? They won't allow me to access my account, by effectively blocking my ability to login. By not allowing me to reset my password on the site, accessed from the domain875.com login page. I’ve called them several times and even sent them a copy of my drivers license and all my details to prove I am the site owner of the sites I had written about. No solution. And dealing with them is like pulling teeth. Learn from my bad experience! Avoid them! Or bring them to justice!   Go to the web site of the AZ Secretary of State and you will find Robert R.

Yes the wait is long but I think it gives you time to work out any problems in a sale of the domain.

Now lets put this 60 day hold into perspective, if you sold a house, does it happen immediately..? No of course it does not ! Now imagine that instead of just shuffling domain names around here & there to earn a quick buck or two, you actually have a domain name that is pulling in 6 figures per month income..?(they do exist) Now would you gripe about a security measure that prevents moving this domain for 60 days (2 months) No of course you would not. The fact of the matter is there are many people that bitch & whine about stuff they know very little about. At the end of the day your domain could be registered on the moon & as long as your website is accessible here on earth, then who gives a flying ?. You should be far more concerned about rogue hosting companies that actually lock your website & prevent you moving it to a new host. This can have a far greater effect than a 60 day hold on registration details. I have just moved 2 of my websites to this company because my old hosting company could not or would not do anything to prevent hacking into their servers. I did everything possible to secure my sites at my end, but if their server has an open door, then it is all futile. Try not to get registration & hosting confused, where a domain is registered does not matter at all & if someone was really keen to buy your website / domain, then I don't see 60 days as a major issue, especially as you can have a legal document drawn up as a promisary note explaining that trasfer will proceed when the 60 day hold is lifted. The charge for registering a .com with this company is a mere $8.17 per annum, which is way below what many other companies charge. Hey Guys,
