I'm just an user, I'm not in the business of buying/selling domains. Besides their shitty website, I never had a problem with GoDaddy. I've been a customer of theirs for about 15 years. Just sharing my experience.

Guys, I really don't mind the downvotes. And I won't ask for clarification either. But I believe sharing someone's experience I believe doesn't deserve a downvote. Anyway, downvote as much as you want :)

Same for me. I have a couple of domains with hosting at them, which get about 20k users per day in total. I've been a customer for 10 years or so and while there were some hiccups sometimes, usually it just works without problems. Their 1st line support is not the greatest when there is an actual problem, though. Luckily I only had a few problems during the years.

I moved over a decade ago purely because of their shitty website. It just made me angry, wading through what could be a satire of all the annoying, shady and deceptive sales tactics that I don't think existed anywhere else at the time. I started paying more elsewhere to avoid the stress, and expected them to die off in the race to the bottom. But there they still are, and they aren't the cheapest and aren't offering anything unique. They are one of the reasons I'm so intolerant of advertising in general, because what I see is marketing driving people to give money to an abusive company, when just about every alternative is a better option. It just seems wrong.

15 years, huh? If a video of "hungry villagers" butchering the elephant GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons murdered while wearing neon orange GoDaddy baseball caps doesn't give you a problem with GoDaddy, and you also have no problem with all the dark patterns on their terrible web site and the shady shenanigans so many people are reporting that GoDaddy currently perpetrate on their users, then what would they have to actually do to convince you to switch to a more reputable service? https://gawker.com/5787676/meet-godaddys-ridiculous-elephant-killing-ceo https://gawker.com/5787676/meet-godaddys-ridiculous-elephant...
