A few days ago, I registered a domain www.pos.team with godaddy, and all of a sudden, see how much spam I started receiving within the week from web developers through out the world. All emails are offering services for website development.

None

Its hard to not accept that either my data/ information was sold to these developers, or they have access to godaddy systems, or someone in godaddy is leaking information and making money. Nothing one can do about these hackers or big guns like godaddy unless another big gun puts them to task and teaches them a good lesson.

About a year ago, if your website used godaddy, you will be able to allow users to upload DOCX files via a form etc. Now its been denied. Its a blackmail luring you into buying the dedicated hosting package. The problem is that when you get an error while uploading a DOCX file on any website, the whole website hangs for a few minutes.

There are no responses on godaddy help forum from godaddy. People have been asking and asking...

https://www.godaddy.com/community/Managing-Web-Hosting/Users-unable-to-upload-docx-files-from-form/td-p/56759

Every big gun has a way of being manipulative and get away with it. DOCX is an industry standard and denying DOCX file uploads is ridiculous.

Another phishing attempt in the name of Outlook/ Hotmail, sent as H0tmail Server <noreply@accountmicrosoft.com>. The email comes with a link that will take you to some strange link on http://www.kingpoker99.com.

The moment you register a domain with godaddy without buying the godaddy's "privacy package", you will start receiving emails from spammers like Dean Young <domainone@registrationdomainsite.com>, info@mysearchingine.com, and many more, trying to sell you web design packages, search engine optimizations and what not.

Who gives the exact name of the person and the name of the website to these spammers within an hour of the domain name creation/ registration. Gotta be godaddy itself or the people who work at godaddy.

Buy the privacy package otherwise, godaddy will make sure your email starts bleeding spam like there is no tomorrow
