Money isn't really an issue for me as we're talking a couple dollars of difference. Ignoring Godaddy's politics, I would still not use them because their web interface is not only terrible its also user hostile. Its all upsells and ads.
I'd put up with this crap for a free service, but when you're a commodity then you better add some non-negative value to your service.
Jesus, how did GD get so big anyway? Are horny geeks this gullible?
- danso 14y agoI don't think it's the geeks who drove this. Godaddy's big ad purchases make it as synonymous with name-registration as Microsoft Word is to word-processing -- among those who don't deal with web setup on a regular basis. My roommate, who after 10 years of using a Mac still doesn't know what a right-click is, has registered all of her domains through Godaddy (and guess who has to help maintain them...)
- jamesjporter 14y agoUgh, sounds like my experience with my parents . . . but my Dad has started using right click! :)
- Osiris 14y ago(GoDaddy employee) There's a huge internal push right now to significantly simplify the website. For example, there was an email was used to send out with new accounts that had tons of ads and coupons. No one clicked on it. We're working on a new simple one with one button and small 20% off coupon at the bottom. Conversions went from 0% to 28%.
- SkyMarshal 14y agoNice. You guys should check out Name.com as a good example of UI/UX design for a domain site. It's one of the most soothing on the Internet. Sometimes I log in when I don't even have anything to do there, just to enjoy the UX.
- pwf 14y agoMaybe it's just me, but having a bunch of strangers staring at me on the landing page was a pretty poor user experience.
