Morning Folks!!
Let's put it out there. Monte Cahn of Moniker.com made a deal with the devil and this is the result. The most respected registrar in the business is no longer trustworthy. Some say that there are things that I should not print. But the phrase "Cr******l Enterprise" is something I hear more and more by more and more people.
I am now in the process of moving my remaining 4500 domains AWAY from Moniker. Why? THEY HAVE LOST MY TRUST! Very simple. I no longer trust them to make the right decision. I no longer trust them to protect my assets. I no longer trust them to do the right thing because the "Mothership" may override them at every point.
Though almost 4 months have past, no one from corporate has YET to make a FULL statement on their breach of Privacy. Instead, I have been continuously lied to and mislead that something would be done to fix the problem. Yet, nothing has been done!
It is now too late to do the right thing. If they can't figure out that the industry is built on TRUST, then I have no choice but to pull out all of my domains and go to folks that have EARNED my trust and understand how special and how delicate that trust is.
Since support at Moniker.com now goes through Oversee.net and takes DAYS to get back to me, please make SURE that ALL of my domains are SAFELY MOVED to my new registrar and none conveniently fall through the cracks. Retribution would be very untimely during this transfer. Why do I say this. BECAUSE YOU LOST MY TRUST!!
To the good folks remaining at Moniker, since 1999 we have done business and you have gone above and beyond to be professional and trustworthy. I could sleep soundly at night knowing that my names were in RESPONSIBLE hands. Unfortunately, you are no longer in control of your own business and that makes me sleep not as well. The last resort that I have is to move my business in order to demonstrate how I feel on a number of fronts. Some things we will get into more deeply as this goes on. This all stems from something that could have been fixed in MINUTES not MONTHS.
Have a GREAT Day!
