From my experience with GoDaddy, the amount of dark patterns using the service was astonishing. It made me move to better hosting providers. They always try to up-sell you stuff, and tack on all these additional features that you have to opt out of when buying something. You have to be real careful on there in-case you buy something you didn't want. Also their UI is really messy and things are buried in multiple deep links and menus. One out of five, do not recommend. It's no wonder they suffered a breach.
- Dave_TRS 5y agoThe dark patterns are so ridiculous I almost get a little enjoyment out of it like playing a game. When you sign up for a domain name it's a mini mission to get past the 5 separate screens of upselling and clicking the small Skip link and not the big green Continue button. If you're not paying close attention you get to your cart and there's extra crap in there, and you have to restart the level.
- unclebucknasty 5y agoAfter using them for simple domain name registration, I can't imagine using them for something more complex, like hosting. The UI is so bad that just figuring out how the contact info they collect in multiple places is used is near-impossible.
