GoDaddy

Well, well, what can one say about godaddy.com. A lot -- most of the reviewers have been right on the money. Stay away. Yes, the site is cheap for domain registration, yet, there are tons of domain registrars out there, today. Do your shopping. Bob Parsons is frankly a weirdo! I would not give this troglodyte one penny. He's a gizzillionaire and supports -- Well, let's leave that one aside. Regarding the hosting services, stay away. I have spoken with too many friends and associates whom have had difficulty with this company's hosting.

I've used GoDaddy for over 10 years and have been pretty happy with their service. I think their prices are a little higher than others, but it's too much hassle to move all my domains to a different provider. I would say that there upsells are a little annoying, if you only need a domain then there are probably better alternatives, but if you need more of a one-stop-shop for domain, hosting, emails then they are probably a good choice being an established company, if you don't mind paying a little more.

Why does anyone use Godaddy? Between their Elephant killing and sexist CEO to their lame servers that work different (and worse) than any other domain reigstrar/hosting company, there is nothing that Godaddy offers that you can't get better or cheaper from more reputable, caring, compassionate companies. However, if you are a Nascar fan that prefers to use the Hooters of the internet rather than getting good products and service then perhaps you want to stay with godaddy.

A person named William Nelson came to me offered me 600 no comissions. Said I have to move my domain to Godaddy in order to sell it. I did so eventually after verifying this was indeed godaddy rep.
He then reneged on his deal. Said i had to pay 25% fee thru Afternic (Partner in deception and scams with Godaddy)
William Nelson ~ no integrety do not believe a word said
Godaddy - supports deceptive practices do not buy or sell through godaddy - your risk
Afternic - there to charge excessive fees under the vail of a different business name also not to be trusted.

I had my domain with them and decided to close the business. I go into the manage account and turn off the auto renewal and get a confirmation that is is off. I go back in and check to make sure and it is off. 3 to 4 months later I get a charge from them on an account I don't use anymore and do not put money into. I only found out since the bank sent me a notice and when I call godaddy they say it is a protected account and that the auto renewal should not have come off like that but it did not show up that way and they renewed my account but would not refund the money. They were more than happy to delete the account now that I called and keep my money.

I purchased a domain name from go daddy the domain name it gave me was different by 1 letter to the 1 I agreed to purchase. The domain name was to be used at a future date it wasn't until 9 days later I actually noticed it discrepancy. I contacted godaddy but because it was more than 5 days ( i thought legally you got a 2 week cooling off period)since I purchased it they would not refund or give me the correct domain name.

GoDaddy.com is easily the scummiest domain website out there. They will located domains that have been searched, buy them up, and then attempt to extort money out of you so that you buy their trash broker service for $70 and then make you buy the domain for a lot more money.
Dont ever give this website your money. They should go out of business asap. Garbage people.

Avoid this company for establishing and renewing domain names. They now have an opt-out requirement rather than opt-in for automatic renewal. When I went to renew this year, they have a deceptive tab that moves you to a window that gives you no option for editing the term of renewal and it automatically enrolls you in auto renewal, hiding that fact in a terms of agreement link that no one ever clicks on. Then, when you try to correct the problem with on-line chat, it acts as if they don't understand what you want, and when you go to talk to them on the phone, you end up on hold for 45 minutes.

I have been locked out of my business website for over a week. No students can access recorded classes they paid for, and no clients can sign up for classes or treatments. This is costing me my professional image and a lot of money. I have spent 5 days on hold, on chats, on the phone with over 7 different agents all assuring me they have all the information they need from me, and this would be expedited and resolved. Instead, I receive the same email again and again from the recovery department saying they need a color copy of a death certificate. I have a legitimate copy that is not in color and still they refuse to accept it. I have clearly proven I am who I am. I have also been POA for my father, and since my mom's death we have handled everything (closing accounts, transferring etc.) so I have had to deal with these things a lot, and I have not ever been treated so poorly and incompetently as I have with GoDaddy. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

Refund issue from last 3 years( Bad Daddy): I am from India. Unfortunately i paid more money to GoDaddy before 3 years. They tried to refund the issue happening. I have given my bank statement more than 20 times. I requested to deposit the money in the go daddy wallet. Still issue not resolved.

I actually LOVE Godady! I use it for all my clients, as it provides a clean interface to all of the services they offer - domains, hosting, etc.

So far, all my clients are even happy with Godaddy -- and I love how it also has automated processes to setup stuff like Opencart, Wordpress and so on. There really isn't much to fault!
