2 edits | Ya know... It's OK with me that they did this. If it's something that can be resolved Monday morning with GoDaddy, so be it. In this day and age of ridiculous scams and spyware and shit, it only takes one script-churning machine to start a whole helluva lot of shit.
If GoDaddy acted in NOT so timely a fashion, so be it. They may have processes that outsiders aren't aware of. What they did, though, is respond with those processes (regardless of timeliness) and shutdown the domain from where the phishing abuse notice came from.
If Nectartech.com doesn't like it -- they can friggin' get another registrar. Sounds to me like they need to screen their customers and/or improve their internal security to prevent phishing scripts from running in the first place. I don't give a crap that they found the machine, fixed the problem and THEN, 1-2 days later, were hit with a change from GoDaddy.
GoDaddy had a process, Nectartech had a process. Seeing as GoDaddy is just a registrar in this case, there's no expectation that "synchronization" of abuse tickets should've happened here. It just happened. For all GoDaddy knows, Nectartech could be a third rate shopping mall computer repair shop -- IF the only relationship involved here is as a registrar.
Maybe some extra fees should be added to a registration for ALL registrars that flags a domain registration as tied to a major data center. Make Nectartech and 1000s of other data centers pay an extra $20/year or more to flag their operations as UNIQUE in the realm of porn domain names and cybersquatters. When something DOES go wrong and a ticket comes in to a registrar complaining of abuse or whatever, they'll see the flag and know that, "Hey, this domain customer needs to be contacted before I do anything to their domain."
NO -- I don't do business with GoDaddy, but I've read up on the company, and I appreciate that they try and bring lower prices to domain registration. That, and their spokesmodel has nice tits. Sue me.
