So, by that yardstick, "business" is doing what the hell you like!

I've also seen evidence that Godaddy hosts spammers, and further  
evidence that they will not respond to requests to shut them down.

I guess they've been taking classes in Good Business Practices  
recently, because they're desperately trying to improve their image.  
Idiots.

Haven't had a problem with Network Solutions. I also use registration  
services through 1and1 (but if you ever want to leave 1and1, you have  
to cancel your credit card), and Dreamhost (no problems at all).
