As you already know our previous post on MakeUseOf getting hacked got on digg and we were able to help get the word out for the good folks at MUO. We all know that Godaddy lately seems to be under a lot of heat and in all honesty they should. This is not the first time a domain has been snagged from their account by somebody who didn’t own it. Great job Godaddy!

I am selling my domain name www.hostmywebsitenow.com

It is a PR3 domain name with 385 domain names. About a year old

Good if you want to start a web hosting,domain name,website business.

I am selling it for US$30.

I will only transfer this domain name to people who have a Godaddy account. If you don't have a Godaddy account,then get one.

I will first have to take the privacy off the domain name so i can transfer it which should only take a day or 2. Then i will transfer it to you. I need all your details(name,address,phone etc)

So if you want this domain name for US$30,PM me. You have to paypal me the US$30 first,then once I receive it i will unprivatise the domain name then start the transfer to u.

How To Register A Domain Name With GoDaddy.com

Most domainers stop at the registration duration screen to switch to a 1 year registration when registering a domain name with Godaddy - but perhaps less experienced users don’t.

In any case, as has been covered by other bloggers here and here, Godaddy have changed their default registration duration to 5 years - instead of the previous 2 - to increase revenue.

After a hairy stressful 24 hours, we have finally managed to regain control of the MakeUseOf domain!

We would like to thank everyone who have offered their help to us today. Your support, ideas, suggestions and funny emails have really helped us get through a difficult day. We are also deeply appreciative of everyone who took the time to blog and tweet about the situation. We believe that it was those blog posts and tweets that pushed GoDaddy to move faster that they normally would have done. So you should feel proud!
