I use Godaddy to register all my domains

I like GoDaddy the best.
1. The are cheap... There are always coupons out that lower .com domains to $7.
2. Good features... they offer everything (for extra of course) and have promotions such as $2 domains with a non-domain purchase. So you get email and a domain for $5.
3. Good interface. Might be a little cofusing but once you get use to it, it's perfect.
4. Customer service is good from what I can tell. I never really needed them and they do call when a domain is about to expire offering to help me out.
5. I am able to set up nameservers as soon as I get a domain with NO waiting.

Overall, I can't really ask for more.

godaddy will push your expired name to thier backordered client

in less than 45 days, godaddy will simply push (transfer to another client and keeping your annual expiry dates the same) to another client that has backordered it. i allways thought that every registrar has to allow the name to purge natually as they do in about 2-3 months. I do not know how a domain can be pushed and the winning registrant gets an 11 month domain? in 8 years and 300 names, this one slipped by me. this is after my names were locked by canging the registrant field. I sent an email to icaan to see if this practice is legal.

I like NameCheap the best but my 2nd preference is GoDaddy

I've found go daddy to be pretty good. Also

They have a reseller program. When you become a reseller they don't allow you to use there trade mark name go daddy to advertise. When you sign up you get google advertising credit and can register domain names really cheap. Thats one of the reasons I've tried it out. I've always found Go Daddy to be pretty good.

After NamePros its the best

Not only could I walk to the office to reg. a domain, but I can do it online as well , best service ive seen.

Thats cheap and it sounds really good!

Too much hard sell and self-infatuation

hell, it takes ages to make changes, many click throughs to get things done. Definitely a stalling process in, for example, transferring away domain names. And, dammit, all those damn bloody ads. DRIVES ME CRAZY. It takes too long to get things done and too much self-promotion on the way... Moving my 1200+ plus domain names from there to a NO-HARD-SELL-ALL-THE-TIME registrar

GoDaddy is the shit. The only bad part about it is that they have a terrible website. Personally, I dont even use it, I just call in. The reps are always nice and courteous, and they always have some coupon code they can through at you to save you some bucks here and there.

When it comes down to it, GoDaddy is the wave of the domain future. Look at http://registrarstats.com. They simply dominate the industry. I'm sure they are reworking the website to be more user friendly.


One thing I love is that their resellers can offer cheaper domain prices than them. Check out http://spazdomains.com, that place is a reseller and offers fantastic rates on everything.

not the best

Highly advertised but below expectations. Unfriendly control panel and lack of good support service with limited contact options.

Prices are usually good with coupons and running promotions, but regular prices are not the cheaper in the domains market.

You get what you pay for

Cheap domains? Yes but beware of hosting here. GD's approach is to charge for every little upgrade. The interface is full of advertising and endless upsell pitches during the sign up process. Domain manager panel is buried--after logging in for the first time, you have to look real hard for the link to manage your account.

Why would any one use a company that basically holds your domain names for ramson if they fell like it. I personally had 70 domains with them once, I have moved them to namecheap.com - SAY NO TO GODADDDY

namecheap way better I basically like the idea of adding funds manually by paypal.

Excellent customer service and refund policy

Brilliant registrar. I have almost all my domains with them. Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced at any company.

Their control panel is fairly easy to use. They offer free (and fast) forwarding and DNS. I have experienced no problems with their hosting either.

They have never failed to provide me with a refund when I've changed my mind about a domain. I just let them know within five days and the money goes back in my account.

Way to GoDaddy

They are okay

GoDaddy is oaky..Their prices are a little higher but their customer service is great. They also offer alot extra add-ons and is easy to use when combining a domain and hosting

GoDaddy Sucks

GoDaddy has absolutely no ethics. Basically "stole" all the money I earned with their CashParking service. I will transferring all of my domains to another registrar.

By "stole", I mean that my revenue was made null by "cancellation fees" ($15) and "check processing fees" ($10).

Review

I have used GoDaddy for about a year and a half now and have absolutely no complaints with them, especially now that they have redone their domain control panel.

Customer service is the best of any host I have ever used.

I am just now getting into the domain end of things as just opposed to buying domains for myself and hosting, so I don't yet know how transferring domains, etc will be, but changing DNS and such is quite simple.

I feel Godaddy is good overall!
