I moved all my domains, ~30, from GoDaddy about 18 months ago. It was a slog. There was no "asap" to it. It took about 2 months to get them all moved over to namecheap. Transfers gets curtailed for various reasons and the current registrar is usually little help in solving the mysteries.
I'm telling you this not to take the wind from your sails but to prep you for a bit more effort.
The reason for my move was the full-on "retail experience" of GoDaddy. It just didn't work for me anymore. I wanted a more spartan registrar.
- d_r 16y agoI also transferred all my domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap in the past year and never looked back. I was tired of having to navigate a maze of circa-1995-UI pages filled with upselling. Want to change your DNS settings? Oh, look for that teeny tiny link in the corner. Want to turn on domain privacy? That'll be another $9.95, and you have to log in to a different site with a different username+password to manage that. Admittedly, GoDaddy has a genius business model IMO. The confusing UI is what probably makes them their bucks.
- capstone 16y agoI've moved about a dozen domains away from GoDaddy over the last year. The time savings (less spam, cleaner interface) well exceeded the effort involved.
- shiftpgdn 16y agoI just got done moving 100 domains over to ResellerClub from GoDaddy. The API really sold it for me and it makes it was easier to manage them all.
