That's the really sad part. They have been known to disable access to domains that weren't even hosted on their service but just as a registrar, due to extremely flimsy legal complaints from third parties. See
Slashdot | MySpace and GoDaddy Shut Down Security Site for an example, and there are more. They may have re-enabled service at a later time but that's beside the point. They have an extremely long record of abusing customers, and as a result, I had all my domain registrations transferred from them to Dreamhost. I can definitely recommend Dreamhost as a registrar; they even have free WHOIS masking.
