Wow, nice work. I wonder how difficult it would be for Dropbox to switch out their SSL certs and reinstall on their servers.

One problem I ran into was having Go Daddy when I registered my domain via Google Apps. Even though I unlocked the domain and got the auth code, because the way Google uses privacy, the transfer was rejected. Any advice there would be much appreciated.

I moved my GoDaddy domains to namespro.ca who have excellent support. The transfer went smooth as butter.

I think his point was that the Dropbox software installed on users' machines contains SSL certs, which may make it hard for them to switch.

Yes, that would a huge pain to require all Dropbox users to force-update to get new root certs. It will probably take a while until they are due to expire.

Plus 1 for namespro. I have about 30 domains with them and everything has ran smoothly.
