  @craylor GoDaddy hosting is leaps and bounds better than it was a decade ago. The problem is, the hosting might be good, but their support is not great, DNS kind of sucks, their "delegate access" works kind off (support actually told me to just ask the client for their password), etc. I deal with GoDaddy daily and I do not enjoy it.

  Finally made the switch. Actually, when you buy a domain, you can transfer it to another registrar. This is called a domain transfer. If you feel your current domain registrar is ripping you off, you should jump ship as soon as possible. If you don’t need an all-in-one website-building service, buying a domain from GoDaddy seems very uneconomical. They are just very good at advertising in many countries. Domains from Porkbun and Cloudflare Registrar are much cheaper. My website is built with a JAMstack setup using Hugo SSG and ***. And yet, I renewed my domain for four years, paying around $20 per year for a common .com domain. I honestly can’t believe I stayed on GoDaddy and kept feeding the money machine, even though I wasn’t using their WordPress services at all.

  It doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. ​The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

  @areimann Totally agree. And I will also argue that it’s never worth using GoDaddy hosting when that means using them for domains too… I don’t know of one person who would use GoDaddy’s hosting only and use a different domain registrar. And the domain side of their business is mind bogglingly bad.

  GoDaddy positions itself as an all-in-one website-building platform for small and medium-sized businesses. Besides domains, they also sell website builders, WordPress hosting, email, SSL, WHOIS protection, and marketing tools. GoDaddy is often cheap for the first year, then the renewal price goes up. But I don’t need any of those add-on services. So this year, I finally made up my mind and transferred my domain to Cloudflare Registrar. The price was basically cut in half. Cloudflare Registrar sells domains almost at cost. The transfer process was surprisingly straightforward. I thought GoDaddy’s terrible interface would try every possible trick to stop me from transferring out. But in the end, I just filled out a form, got the authorization code, and that was it. A domain transfer usually does not require an extra transfer fee. Your website will not go offline during the transfer process, but it usually takes at least three days to complete. After the domain transfer, the new registrar will charge you for one year of renewal upfront.

  @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp — longtime customer here with my domain & corporate email already in my account. Tried adding a Managed WordPress Deluxe subscription today, but chat support tried to finesse me with a massive $26.99/mo. Please fix this now.

  @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy I sold a domain via your Domain Broker Service. The payout was rejected for “compliance” and I’ve been stuck in a loop: GoDaddy Auctions sent me to Afternic. Afternic sent me to DomainBuy. DomainBuy hasn’t replied. My broker hasn’t replied either. Who actually handles seller payouts for DBS sales? Please DM.

  with the commercial featuring Walter Goggins (righteous baby billy) for Godaddy with reflective ski googles that on the strap of them say, "cookies" cookies like "saved, tracking" "that we...even put some here" associated with that area that I believe to be a neural implant done in 2014 in Denver, CO behind my left ear and since I don't need the glasses, retinal implant to have the signal sent to the brain it's like...what could be seen, heard even then with access to this device's antennae communication could they see what I am seeing and hear what I am hearing and what I think has been happening

  @PoliceThePolic1 There USED to be a site that kept track of such bad pigs called #RateMyCop... The corrupt pigs first got it's hosting company (godaddy) to drop it, then when it came back they managed to take it away from the creator (Gino Sesco) and turn it into a blueline worship site.

  @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy Another day, another runaround by GoDaddy for a problem that is re-occurring with my apps. Spent 2 hours on Monday dealing with it. They literally told me to hold for "3-5 minutes" then never returned. When I asked where the person was, I received an auto-response that the issue was closed because of inactivity. Damn, wish I could just "wish" or "ignore" problems away. Great business model. I was promised, finally, that the "backend group" would resolve and it would be fixed. I was reassured that this would happen. Here's another great feature of their help. I reached out again today. They started the same "Two Hour Hell-Hole" dance with the same stupid questions. I told them to look at the notes attached to my file. Their response? "We don't keep notes of the account". So, what are my options world?

  @GoDaddy Your customer service used to be so good. Now it is horrible.

  And not for a lack of trying. Just for a lack of brains :) In my 18 years in the domain business, I learned it's stupidity that is unpredictable and thus more dangerous than malice. But don't worry, GoDaddy has both :D Your domains there will never be safe. Transfer them out.
