Their UI is horrendously busy for YC founders, but as everybody else is saying, "the price is right."

  Everybody complains about the UI -- but it's domain registration! How often do you really use the UI? A couple times a year, maybe? GoDaddy is super cheap and reliable (for domains). Until somebody makes something better (and equally cheap), I'm staying.

    You must be a light user; I'm on godaddy at least once a week doing something. The checkout process is obnoxious; I just want to buy something, not be upsold a billion times. I understand why they do this so godaddy probably isn't ideal for me. I just deal with it because of the price. On the other hand, I'd love to see some enterprising company (even godaddy; all it "GoDaddy Pro" or something) come up with a no-frills domain reservation/management service inspired by http://domai.nr/ http://domai.nr/ and http://manage.slicehost.com/ http://manage.slicehost.com/ (Slicehost has an awesome, simple management interface).

      GoDaddy has a no-frills solution with wildwestdomains. We use the api in our systems and it was a nightmare to implement but works well enough.

    Dude, that's what I said and then someone here told me about dynadot. Check it out. It's cheaper than Godaddy if you're using private registration, and the UI is about 100x better.
