In reply to Richard.

Nope, the upselling and crappy support is still there.

Went to buy a .ws domain last week (GD was the cheapest at $4.99 first year) and was bombarded with upsells for WHOIS privacy, email, and their site builder.

Their control panel uses wording that tricks you into thinking you’re cancelling your domain when you try to turn off auto renew.

I know the crappy support is still there because I have friends that work there. Inadequate training is the primary cause.
