- oriettaxx 4y ago> is a well-documented garbage fire as I asked above, can you elaborate this? I am not aware at all
- mkl95 4y agoA particularly egregious example is "Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506303 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506303
- oriettaxx 4y agouh, but I see there is a clear response cited there, too https://www.godaddy.com/garage/godaddy-felons-io-unregistered-domain/ https://www.godaddy.com/garage/godaddy-felons-io-unregistere... anything else?
- TameAntelope 4y agoAll the way back to their Danica Patrick days they’ve been more focused on the bottom of the market (non technical users who don’t know better) than in providing a good product.
- Siira 4y agoNamecheap locked my free DNS account for “security” reasons, and told me to contact them to unlock it. After contacting them, they advised me to open a new account. All this on a service that doesn’t let users export their data. Perhaps they aren’t as terrible in their non-free offerings, but I doubt it.
- timbit42 4y agoI was using NameCheap but found Porkbun is less expensive and has an easier website.
- b3lvedere 4y agoI had never heard of Porkbun, so thank you for that info.
