		cookiecaper on Dec 26, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Update on GoDaddy Transfer Issues I hear that name.com forces a wildcard DNS entry if you use their DNS servers so that any unregistered subdomain points to a "domain parked" or similar squatter-esque page. This is completely awful and should be enough to bring a lot of heat to name.com directly. Definitely much, much worse than misassuming bad intentions.

On the other hand, that's a downside to using a free, separate service from the company, not part of how they operate as a registrar.
