Anyone thinking about buying a domain name, needs to read this article. Domain name sellers have become as annoying as car salesmen in most respects and just as dirty. For example, I recently bought this domain name justicejunction.com through namebargain.com. In order to change any information regarding this domain name, including the ISP or DNS servers, you must go through them, email them and tell them what changes you want done to the domain name, then when they get good and ready, they'll fix it, basically its at their leisure. 

I've asked them repeatedly to change the DNS servers to the new hosting company. but after a week, they still haven't done it. I asked them almost a month ago to change DNS servers for another domain name that I purchased through them, guess what? It still isn't done! Now here's the kicker folks, if I want control over my own domain name, if I want to be able to change the DNS and ISP crap myself, I can UPGRADE to a premium account with REGISTER.com. namebargain.com is actually owned or subsidized by register.com, a leading domain name seller. So I originally paid $10.00 for the domain name and they want me to pay an ADDITIONAL $35.00 to UPGRADE to premium status. So basically I'd be paying $45.00 for the domain name and the ability to control it's uses myself. What an unbelievable set up, sell all the domain names that you want for $10.00 a pop, then when a customer wants something changed, drag your feet and take forever so that they'll upgrade to the premium status. I don't know about you, but I think that maybe car salesman have MORE morals than domain name sellers.
