  Satoshi Nakamoto, Andrew Rulnick (@MickeySteamboat) reported 5 minutes ago

  @alexgrenier @olsenbdnr Yep they also said that about machines impacted by heartbleed when I found that day zero at GoDaddy. I've also seen a lot of machines and builds that check out that can be relatively easily rooted. So what do you want me to tell you man? I just have had a lot of bad experiences with Rust, Java, and people that slop C Look man you could very well be one of the best engineers writing the safest and most optimized Rust code in the world and of no fault of your own I think your systems will get ******. If it's not you, it's Intel, or AMD causing a problem and to be honest I have good reason to suspect they do it intentionally for backdoors for uncle Sam and company.

  Today’s massive customer service fails 1) @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy - don’t reply to refund emails they themselves have asked me to send, despite multiple chasers & call holds of well over an 1.5 hrs) @AppleSupport - what has happened to their support line? Absolutely terrible!

  @ethanjaack Yes, same here. After number of follow-ups, I asked for a refund if the issue couldn’t be fixed. Instead of a solution, they pointed me to their policy. Glad I discovered their support quality early, my remaining domains and future services definitely won’t be with GoDaddy.

  @wpmodder @GoDaddy I love me some Adam Warner and I have mad respect for defending your company. That said: my problems with GoDaddy have never been performance, they've always been with what feels like arbitrary rules made more inflexible by lack of empowerment for the support team. As an example: our customers were routinely told that they could not disable caching on particular pages at all in the Managed Hosting plans, and were actually *downsold* to cPanel plans for that level of control. On a site that needs to be able to not cache (for example) the donation receipt page EVER, it was nonsensical. I went back and forth with at least 3 levels of technical support agent before learning that it was (at the time) simply technically impossible based on the infrastructure. It stayed that way for at least 3 years. Add that to things like "want to change a DNS record? you'll have to send at least 3 2FA codes just to get to the page, and then one per DNS record." As someone who doesn't want to explain to a client why I have to involve their cell phone more than one time, much less 15 times in an hour, it's agency-hostile behavior.

  @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy @sh0kunin My paid subscription has been broken for 3+ months, and standard support has completely failed. Sent screenshots to an agent on 21 May who promised a next-day fix, but multiple follow-ups (25 May, 26 May, 4 June) have been ignored. Please escalate.

  @TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported — at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap — they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

  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.

  @TimoPrescott GoDaddy has a very terrible interface though Cloudfare? Yeah I use them too

  @aiOutme I NEVER GAVE @godaddy right to apply SOA record that can't be edited on one of my domains. They say they can't figure it out? fine @FBI maybe you guys can help them?

  @helloitsolly I don’t have mummy and daddy issues and I still can pull off 80 hours weeks. I think it’s things you want to achieve and the level of determination and endurance you have. It really helps to do that sooner than later. If you work too much in a 9-5 then you get comfortable and it will be harder to switch when you are 40-50. But that’s not impossible. The guy who launched godaddy sold it at 60 for billions

  Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

  I've been a huge proponent of @GoDaddy. Back to back days of hitting a brick wall and two worthless reps later, I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Way to go from hero to zero overnight.

  @GoDaddyHelp Hello @GoDaddyHelp , yes, I've gone through that process numerous times, many with support on phone. They admit it's "stuck". Online articles tell me that, with escalation, it can be released, to allow "approve" to execute

  What GoDaddy / Wix / Squarespace actually sell isn't hosting — it's not needing a developer. You pay $200–500/yr for a website builder because it lets a non-technical person drag boxes around and never touch a DNS record. That convenience is the product. The underlying hosting (what Firebase does) has always been cheap-to-free; the markup is the "you don't have to understand any of this" tax.
