Good By Network Solutions

I have a half dozen domains registered through Network Solutions.  In the past month they have called me no less than 4 times to ask me to renew my domains (not needing to be renewed for months) and sign up all the extra services.  It didn't matter that I told them I was all set.  I host my own sites.  I don't want private registration.  I don't want to pay way to much money to register 10 years into the future.  They keep calling.  

I have been meaning to transfer my domains over to godaddy for a long time and this was the final straw.    Godaddy offers the exact same service and for a lot less. In fact, the last Netsol sales rep reminded me that they are actually just resellers of Netsol.  On top of that Network Solutions DNS servers have been down for hours at a time and thus my sites using those DNS servers were down.  Yup, the goto company for domain registration has caused my sites to go down numerous times.  My domains with godaddy saw no such downtime.  So I have just transfered all my domains to my godaddy account.  Good riddance.

Anyone reading this who has done it before. I just realized I can't edit my dns on godaddy yet, and as such my sites may go down while I get everything configured at the last minute. doh!
