Great for resellers, no charge for a push to other accounts. Decent price. The interface is kinda wierd the first time, requiring you to unlock the domain, then edit and then relock and takes a little bit for each to happen, but it allows you to edit multiple domains at once. You get an email for each change also. First time I registered and bought a domain name, someone from godaddy called me, guess its just to see if things are ok, i thought it was kinda wierd seeing how i was on a cell phone number, but it was just a courtesy call.

GoDaddy has an good customer service and good value, however, they have one of the worst interfaces and a terrible checkout process that takes far too long and could be designed much better.

Hard to navigate, bad customer support

Interface is hard to navigate. Too many "advertisements" when trying to order. Bad custome support (I asked them to do something, and they did the opposite.) Many free features, great price, great value. Overall, one of the "better" registrars.

They aren't the cheapest around but they are competitive with lots of value-added features. Customer service is first rate with quick response time. A couple times I've deleted domains from my account only to change my mind later and they've restored them to my account (sometimes A COUPLE MONTHS later) with no added charge! They are, of late, my number one choice for domain registrations!

With continued Loopholes this is a great company to go with. As they continue to be the fastest growing domain registry, I trust my domains with them. Since I do not use many of advanced features, I am happy with what is given for free. Thanks to DNOA I dont need to worry about the whois privacy. I have never used customer support. The interface has many ads but since I do not use my account other from registering domains and changing the nameservers this does not bother me.
The loopholes make this my favourite domain registry.

I have been pleasantly surprised with Go Daddy thus far. Their customer service is by far the best I have seen in this industry.
