Yeah, I was anticipating this feedback, the fact of the matter is that GoDaddy has brand awareness (read: increased conversions) and higher payouts (due to heavy upselling).
I'm looking to make a little money from this site and the factors above, for better or worse, really make the decision in terms of where I refer traffic.
I am considering building on OpenSRS for a fully whitelabelled reg. process. Unfortunately that is a big undertaking, and I'm testing the site before committing the effort to white label integration.
Thanks again.
