Politics and style aside, I don't get all the vitriol at their checkout process. Log in, click "ok" (or "next" or whatever it is) a couple times and you have a domain. It's not that bad. Sure, they try to upsell you, but the default click is always "no".
I have had a much, much worse experience with vista print, for example, who signed me up for a subscription to Essence magazine (yes, a paper magazine aimed at black women - for which I am very much not the target), despite the fact that I opted out (yes, I had to) of that silliness.
Think for a moment about how slimy the business practice is there. They aren't just upselling crap, but purposely distorting circulation numbers to rip off advertisers of their magazine partners.
- shawnz 15y agoYeah, but vistaprint is a business card company! What could you possibly expect out of their domain registration services?
- newchimedes 15y agoI can't speak for Vista Print since I've never had the "pleasure" of purchasing with them. However, where I take issue with GoDaddy is the fact that they bury what you are supposed to do next in a sea of upsells and cross sells. I'm not sure if they do it anymore, but before the would automatically select 5 year plans for me and private registration. Trying to remove it was like an act of god. Whether it's intentional or not I can't say, but it sure seems like their goal is to trick unsuspecting buyers into buying something they didn't want.
