Hi, can someone help me understand why GoDaddy has added Business Registration to my order? I am wanting to create a small site to sell hand crafted jewelry. Does anyone know, at what point I need to have my business registered?

This is to register your domain as being owned by a business. It has nothing to do with legally registering your business.

That's weird. Did they add it automatically?

godaddy should be called fatdaddy. they're way to bloated. I suggest domainsite.com to anyone who wants a domain name and full management features.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, they did try to add it automatically. I will be removing it from my order.

Weird I always have to add it and I want it every time lol

does godaddy give less control on managment of your site??

godaddy is bloated. I am the anti-godaddy king and I would like to trash their crap service every chance I can. It's for novices who know little or nothing about domains or hosting, which is the majority of people I guess. Those people should get out and read more. There are a ton of great hosts out there, I've used many. Had good experiences and bad, but I'd have to say hostgator is doing nicely for me right now and I have two dedicated servers hosted through a friend that reside on a major carrier in a major datacenter that don't do half as well performance wise.

For anyone looking ... go to Web Hosting Talk - The largest, most influential web hosting community on the Internet

EDIT: Also... DON'T GET YOUR DOMAIN FROM YOUR HOST! IT'S A TRAP!

I use domainsite.com for all my domains, and I have for years. Before that I swore by network solutions before verisign bought up everything but disney. domainsite.com is $7/yr for a domain and comes with google apps installed on those domains.

I know I promote a lot of inet interactive sites her, but I feel like they know their stuff and their sites are filled with reliable people in the industry who know what they're talking about.

If anyone here actually makes it to a need for an enterprise environment, datapipe.com, rackspace and 1and1 are all pretty good. EV1 servers was OK but now I have no idea. Interland was good when they acquired dialtone, with whom I host two opennap servers that kicked arse. Haven't hosted there in years, but they were good then, I imagine they've improved since.

First of ALL Godaddy is STABLE!! Keyword STable I lost alot of domains with Registerfly. I'm talking 2k$+ in lost domains.

I would never host with them though. There slow and a BIG overseller
