Godaddy is a scam. Fuck Godaddy. Easy to sign up. Impossible to unsubscribe. Down with Godaddy.

  uhhhh, how so? Their upselling is questionable (although as long as you never select an option you'll have no problems) as it misleads "naive" consumers, but impossible to unsubscribe? I often cancel domains and other products with them, I've never had a problem. What's the problem you've had?

    It's impossible to delete your account with Godaddy, that's probably what he's referring to.

    I would say their user interface was designed to be a maze which is extremely difficult for the average user to figure out. Nothing was technically impossible once I found out the convoluted way to do it, but the design is no accident and many laymen just give up trying to leave or cancel.

  I had domains with GoDaddy and register.com. I always thought of the latter as more legit - they upsell a bit less, they have a cleaner interface, etc - they're more expensive but I was ok with that given the interface was better. Well, when I transferred my domains from GoDaddy to DNSimple, they provided the authorisation codes immediately. There were a few hiccups along the process, but nothing that seemed deliberate. Fortified by my success with transferring domains from evil GoDaddy, I started the process with register.com. Well, turns out they arbitrarily impose a 4-5 days delay just to get the authorisation code so that you can start the process. Turns out GoDaddy is not the most scummy registrar.
