  @DonationDude Well I checked my email and saw a domain renewal notice for yet another site I intended to build and never did. I'm a domain squatting king. So with that motivation I opened claude code and asked it how to connect me to my Godaddy account to see/ edit and make changes. I probably used a prompt exactly like that. It lead me to get a Godaddy API key and I was off. From there I had it do research on the domains, interview me on the topics, check my dataforseo mcp for competition in the niches and then run agents to do research on the niche's and whats ranking in each. I used that information to create keyword clusters and then content briefs. Then I had it build the content, websites, and follow my SEO checklists. It gave me the sites to QA and then I reviewed and pushed live

  @DomainDanHQ @requestprice @afternic That disconnect kills so much impulse-buy liquidity for ccTLDs. If the exact match doesn't show up in GoDaddy's retail search, you lose the end user. The problem is ARNES (.si) accreditation is a bureaucratic nightmare, so GoDaddy won't rush it without massive retail demand.

  You used to pay $200 a year just to put a padlock on your own website. Then Let's Encrypt happened. In the early internet, SSL certificates were controlled by a handful of corporations. Every website had to pay them every single year or visitors would see a scary security warning and leave. DigiCert → $200 a year Comodo → $150 a year GoDaddy → $70 a year They turned basic internet security into a subscription. And millions of small websites simply could not afford it. By 2014 only 30% of the web was encrypted. Not because encryption was hard. Because it had a price tag. Then, in 2015 a group of engineers launched Let's Encrypt. Free SSL certificates for every website on earth. Automated. No credit card. No annual fee. Forever. The certificate industry laughed at them. They stopped laughing fast. One million certificates in the first year. One million every single day by 2018. One billion total by 2020. Ten million every single day today. Let's Encrypt now controls 57% of the entire SSL certificate market on earth. The web went from 30% encrypted to over 80% in under ten years. DigiCert still exists. Comodo still exists. But they lost the internet to a nonprofit that decided security should never have a price tag. The SSL industry spent 20 years building a tollbooth on the web. Let's Encrypt tore it down. For free. Forever.

  @shahtotus @GoDaddy whats the use of paying so much and not getting great service, switch to something reliable (fresh roasted hosting ) and comes up with good uptime and great support.

  I have been a big fan of @pxg golf clubs, but after my recent experience with @GoDaddy customer service I will never buy a @DrBobParsons product again.

  I don't know when the domain registrars will understand user experience is as important as your domain service. --- okish -------- - hostinger - godaddy ---- garbage ---------- - namecheap

  GoDaddy support sucks ****. Claude rules. "I need my site to run node.js" I say "You need your own hosted VPS" they say I buy the VPS. Overnight malware scan pegs my CPU at 100% and holds. Site down. I call support. Them: "Since you have your own VPS you'll have to SSH into the server to find out the problem." Me: "So you advise for me to pay more for something you won't support?" Them: (essentially) "Correct" - I hang up. Hey Claude, here's what's happening... 5 mins later...site is up, resources are throttled for overnight scans. All is well. Now to shop for a different VPS host...

  millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

  My domain was shut down by @GoDaddy on May 10th. No idea why & the domain was paid up for a year back in Feb. 2026. I’ve called twice a day trying to get this resolved with GoDaddy. Absolutely a waste of my time. I moved the domain today to @Namecheap but GoDaddy is now taking 5-7 days to initiate the transfer. I’ve reached out to @GoDaddyHelp numerous times with no response. Can you imagine providing such poor service?

  @edgarpavlovsky @GoDaddy feels like we’re speedrunning the 90s again but with worse support tickets

  Since yesterday morning, I spent 2 hours on the phone with GoDaddy and today another hour. Both times they said expect an email reply within 2-3 hours. Never replied yesterday and waiting again today for another reply.

  For web developers out there--what are some good domains to host websites from vibe coded ideas? I don't want to post something on GoDaddy--only to have it crash and burn. And GoDaddy customer support is trash.

  @JamesWelbes I'm not a GoDaddy employee, no affiliates or other financial ties AFAIK, here to say: their managed hosting is decidedly **NOT BAD**. Need more than 1 bench / 3 years to recommend autorenew, but it's been a while since I've felt a need to migrate folks away.
