Rackspace Acquires Itself and Becomes Self-Aware

That doesn't make sense -- you can't acquire something without being aware of it, so you must be self-aware before you can acquire yourself. :-)

I read the headline and thought, "Good God, why?!"

Godaddy's absolutely the worst registrar out there. They're totally incompetent.

What's the easiest way to move, say 70, domains off Godaddy?

[vlad → nickb]

Go to godaddy.com and unlock all of your domain names. Make sure you have access to the administrative e-mail specified in each of your domains.

Sign up at dynadot.com and pre-pay $500 to get bulk pricing, e.g. .coms for $7.75.

Highlight and copy the list of domain names from godaddy, and paste into the bulk transfer tool at dynadot. Pay with your account balance. Godaddy and/or Dynadot will send you a confirmation. A few days later, the domains will be under a new registrar, each extended by a year as well.

Congratulations! You've moved your domain names! And you didn't have 30 ad screens at checkout, either!

NICE! Had no idea it's that easy! I'll do it soon :)

Thanks a million vlad!

[vlad → nickb]

No problem! Thanks for the reply.

Followup to that, what does everyone recommend as a registrar that isn't... terrible?

[nickb → burke]

I was recommended Gandi, NameSecure and Moniker.
