I know Godaddy isn't the most cherished registrar in the world but I
wouldn't put them down there with the worst of the slimeballs. I've been
dealing with them since 1999 with never a complaint.

You think they had something to do with this?

Can I definately expect this not to happen by paying $39.00 for a domain
instead of $8.95?

Thanks,
Jim

Is it possible that your client engaged in some parallel activity - e.g.
checked on the domain with some less-reputable domain reseller - that let
the gato out of the saco?

No - this one was for me - for a family one, and even my hosting company
didn't know what I was intending to use so it could ONLY be the company I
used for look-up

I am wondering whether to sit down with a few "dummy" domain names and see
which ones get registered by other people. Document my findings and upload
them to the newsgroup.

Happy "regging" everyone - if it still exists by the time you type in your
CC number!
