>>> People complain that they use deceptive practices,
The last company I worked for had all of their public domains registered through them. The funny thing they figured out was if they registered for a domain or a service, they would get all the way through the order, then wait a day before processing.
Like clockwork, the next day the sys admins would get a 30% off coupon for the stuff they had just started to sign up for the previous day.
It was an easy way to game the system, and made you wonder how over priced their stuff really was.

Granted that's less than the $200 million it lost in 2013, and the $279 million lost in 2012 -- but GoDaddy admits it hasn't turned a profit since 2009..."[1] [1] http://www.zdnet.com/article/godaddy-ipo-to-value-company-at-2-87-billion-but-profit-concerns-emerge/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/godaddy-ipo-to-value-company-at...
