Domain Registration

Well, I just registered my first domain name yesterday. I am now the proud owner of www.segcast.net which is for, you guessed it, SegCast.

I registered through GoDaddy and it was really painless. I even used the coupon code "DIGG" which is a promotion going on through the podcast Diggnation where you can get 10% off.

GoDaddy even called me this morning to make sure that I knew how to set everything up properly and see if I had any questions. That was really cool that they did that. I don't know if it was random or if they do that with everyone but it was nice to see that they're doing that.

The only thing that I don't really like about GoDaddy is the site. It's really cluttered and is basically information overload. They have a great service and great customer service but their site is confusing. I think that the issue is that they just have a ton of functionality and it's really hard to make things look pretty when you need 100 links for different functions.

So, basically, if you guys are ever looking to register domain names, go through GoDaddy. I wholly endorse them. The price is right too, I'm paying $17.99 or something like that for two year increments of registration. If you want to go by year it's like $8.99 a year. Definitely won't break the bank!

Go register with GoDaddy!

I used them for registering my domain (as I previously posted) which was hastle-free. However, they charged me for hosting, which I did not order. I sent an email late at night and a friendly customer service agent from India refunded my money for that order within the hour.

I agree that their hosting interface is way too crowded. They're in some serious need of a redesign.
