Godaddy is good for me with domain registering
not sure about hosting but i stick to cPanel hosting anyways

Iv had many problems with them
My Favorite Registrar
I've been with GoDaddy since January 2001 and have held as many as ~650 domains with them at any given time. I was assigned an Executive Account rep. about 1.5 years ago and have been extremely pleased with the customer service I have received. Even when I use a different rep. (e.g., when mine is on vacation), I'm consistently very happy with the customer support.
I have yet to find a registrar that can beat GoDaddy's prices and provide the flexibility and functionality I get from GoDaddy's domain interface. Although their new interface isn't as user friendly as their previous one, I've been able to get accustomed to it without much difficulty.
The ability to instantly push any number of domains to another GoDaddy customer is quite valuable, especially due to the fact that it's free. Transfers in from another registrar, however, can be a bit time consuming and frustrating, but that's usually due to the OTHER registrar's poor service or quirky procedures.
In the 6 years that I have been a GoDaddy customer, I have NEVER lost a domain name. An associate of mine insists on keeping his domains at NetSol, stating that they have better security. I can't say whether he's right or not, but I can say that GoDaddy's security has never been an issue for me.
The ads everyone seems to be annoyed with don't bother me. Just press your End key to go to the bottom of the page and choose "Quick Checkout" and you'll bypass all the add-ons. I've never used any of GoDaddy's other services, so it would be nice, as another poster mentioned, if there was an account option to always bypass those ads.
My overall experience with GoDaddy has been and continues to be outstanding. This is the one registrar I recommend head and shoulders above all others.

Be Carefull !!! Godaddy Is Evil
My experience with godaddy is very very bad
Donยดt by premium domains with them as you will loose them - godaddy will steal them from you easily.
Also forget about customer service . Itยดs very very bad and if youยดre lucky you will talk with a 18 year old girl that knows nothing about domains or internet
Be carefull with your credit cards - they will not refund you
I am putting them on court
AVOID THEM - go for any other - i am sure itยดs better than godaddy
Yes theyยดre cheap but you will understand why ...

Very Good
I have seen so many ridiculous reviews of GoDaddy i feel compelled to add my own. GoDaddy have always been my favorite registrar, i find their prices to be reasonable (hint coupons) and their support to be nothing short of excellent.
Even at times when i have had to use the email support i have received a reply in a more than acceptable amount of time and it has been as helpful as possible. The only criticism i have of support is that there is no live chat which would be beyond helpful at times.
The interface is good with the exception of two things: Speed (although it is reasonable) and the folders are nothing short of useless if you want anything done within an hour.
Overall i have very, very few complains about the service i have received and intend to keep using them.

The old gray mare just ain't what it used to be...
GoDaddy has gotten into so much sideline angles to generate revenue that they have lost focus of one primary business principle...customer service.
I rank 7 on features as I do find their hosting very flexible and reliable.
Interface/ease of use I interpret as their CP
Customer service is the lowest I have ever seen it in all my years as being a customer of theirs. Currently, I would place it as some of the worst and poorly trained customer service agents and reps along with middle management not only in a domain related industry but in any realm of business.
Their price and value is no longer a factor. Now many industry leaders have beaten the services and prices that GoDaddy offers for domain registration backed by customer service reps that know the domain business.
My overall satisfaction ranks very low which corresponds to the many threads posted regarding their current lack of customer satisfaction and services. Other than the hosting plans and flexibility and familiarity, I would not have any purpose for GoDaddy

Good value, but there are some major flaws. The phone support is terrible, and they are confusing you and trying to prevent helping the user. The price is reasonable, but it could be cheaper. There interface is smothered in advertisement for other services, which makes life confusing, and i avoid godaddy. They also tend to delete domains of illegal sites WITHOUT any warning, which i feel is wrong. Loads of features, too many to list, but they need to redesign the site, it is cluttered and looks like someones myspace profile.

I repeat what I said in my earlier post:
I have never had such good service from ANY company I have dealt with, domains or otherwise.
If GoDaddy can do it, why not everyone else?
The extra cost (and it's only a few cents) is well worth it. As long as GoDaddy continue to look after me this well I have no need to look anywhere else.
