Dave, Very true. I do have two secondaries and the real delay seems to be in setting up the name to IP for the server. GoDaddy claims 24-48 hours. This is OK because I just left ns2.crompton.com set to the old IP and added ns1 at the new one. Once that is in place all I have to do is change my nameserver preferences - delete ns2 and add ns1 - and it should go in a few hours. BTW - I have only used in the far past, Verisign, and that is certainly no comparison but GoDaddy is tops in my book. I have 13 domains there and never had a problem. 24/7 tech support also.
