    Did this happen to any of the rest of you - you thought of a cool idea, checked out the domain name to make sure nobody else had it, you rushed off to the cheapest name registrar you could find - and were blinded by the entire experience?

    Yes, godaddy, I’m talking about your website. I’ve seen infomercials that aren’t as awful as that.

    Is saving a few bucks really worth it? I hope so…but I’m having trouble seeing right now.  😉

    I was registering a domain there and was being lead through the purchases pages, but my god is it confusing. I was asked to enter my details twice, then agree to allow them to take payment from my PayPal, then go through even more hoops.

    In the end I just closed the window in fear that the control panel would be just as bad.

    NameCheap are doing well so far.
