A Step By Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy
This is great and all but I don't really see a boycott as being such an effective solution.<p>The problem with boycotts is they are based on the following things:<p>1) The spending power of the boycotter.
2) The potential spend of the boycotter on the relevant service/product. 
3) The amount of influence you have over others to boycott.<p>So whilst you can move your handful of personal domains that you were using for your hobby website or small startup elsewhere, the biggest spenders on domains I would imagine are going to be medium-large businesses.<p>These are much more cautious to join a boycott unless there is obvious PR benefit (e.g fairtrade or animal testing free products spring to mind) because they are beholden to shareholders and are generally conservative when it comes to changing suppliers unless there is a clear cost-benefit. The only people in the organization that are likely to care about this will be the techies who unless they are the CIO/CTO do not have the influence to affect domain purchasing decisions.<p>The conversation probably goes approximately like this:<p>Boss: Good day underling! Please secure us the following list of 100 domain names from the great godaddy, lord of the DNS!<p>Techie: But sir , we shouldn't use godaddy. There is an active boycott because of SOPA, how about company X instead?<p>Boss: What is this SOPA of which you speak?<p>Techie: <i>explains SOPA</i><p>Boss: Damn hippies! I neither understand nor care for their plight, godaddy is cheaper and we already have an account with them. I know not of this company X, do they advertise at the superbowl?<p>Techie: but...<p>Boss: Please do as I command and grace godaddy with our pieces of silver.<p>Techie: <i>enters company credit card details at godaddy.com</i>
