People don't trust them with domain registration. Why do they think they can be trusted with our servers?

  Many people do trust them with domain registration as well as hosting. HN is probably filled with people who know better (or have had enough time to have a bad GoDaddy experience), but GoDaddy is still the first place many people go when they want to build a website.

    Mostly because of their successful ad campaign for many years.

    No problems here with simple registration, though wouldn't trust them with DNS or anything beyond that. One complaint is that they do have some dark patterns in their UI that tend to always work out in their favor: like a funky cart and auto-defaulting to 5 year registrations in only certain undefined scenarios.
