His email was a long speel about how special his services were, blah, blah, blah. I sent back the following, "No thanks." :) By the way; Jaime, I started using Bido two weeks ago because of an article you wrote...they are AWESOME. I've sold 16 domains in two weeks there and have another 53 auctions set up over the next couple of weeks. Bido is a great resource to sell your "non-premium" domains.

About a year ago my account rep was changed to Justin F and he is THE BEST!!! Sometimes handling hundreds of domain names gets overwhelming, but Justin makes it easy for me. I like to review my domain names once a year, so I only renew for a year at a time. If it wasn't for this service, it could be done, but not as smoothly. And regarding his "commission" motive: How much do you think he makes on a $6 domain name? Thanks GO DADDY and thanks Justin F.

But other than some nice anti-theft measures, I haven't gotten much out of the program.

If they didn't have that department, nobody in the company would be of any help. I call in to support and feel like I'm talking to a 10 year old that just learned how to use their computer. I have met with many people on that team throughout the years and they have helped me grow my web income pretty substantially. Just make sure you get someone who is savvy. My favorite rep was Rick but he's not with the company anymore... Maybe it's just because he has the same name as me...

Justin F (not sure if there are more than one reps named Justin in the executive accounts department at Godaddy) has always given me incredible support, even with server questions for servers that I don't have with Godaddy. A friend in the business recommended I reach out to him to help with setting and reaching goals for my domain portfolio, best thing I've ever done. YOU'RE AWESOME JUSTIN F!

I guess I just do not need much, if any help and the emails were about the only thing I ever got from my rep. I still like GoDaddy and have had good support in the past, but I don't think you need an executive account rep to get it. I use Moniker's support ticket system and never had a problem, so it is likely best to use that instead of calling. @ Tom C,

Mike Robertson and the crew are great. They have an unbeatable tiered pricing structure, support is very quick to respond, and they are super friendly.

He helps me on all sorts of issues and I have directly made more money with my domains because of him. I have domains at Moniker and I can't tell you how many times I have gotten their voicemail machine and never been called back - and my rep there is pretty clueless. Go Daddy gets a bad rap by people and really doesn't deserve it in most cases - and the pricing is awesome! Scott, you Rock! Keep up the great work.

I do have over 300 there and every time that I have ever called in for a question or service, I get the renewal reminder. But let them know quickly that they are set to expire that way and they always back off without me feeling like its a sales pitch. More of a friendly reminder, I always took it as just because its on the screen and they HAVE to tell you. Its always at the end and almost an afterthought. They are much more appreciative of the surveys you can take for them (I think their bonus' are directly attached to those, IMO). And only to reiterate, also the best service that I've ever had among all the registrars. Sorry about your poor service there Jamie. Sounds like they definitely could have handled it differently.

The service has been stellar. I have several thousand domains with them. I don't know if it is b/c I spend a lot with them , in relation to you, that the service is better, but I am always impressed how good it is. Brad Larson is my rep....best damn rep I have ever had at any company. Sorry you feel this way Jamie. It sounds like they could have at the least handled the change a bit better. They probably did not breif the reps on what to say exactly, which would be a mistake. I have to say that my executive account and my rep have been great. The service has been stellar.
