Pretty Good Registrar!

GoDaddy is a great registrar offering lots of features (e-mail and URL forwarding, DNS management, etc.) The interface is very annoying. Customer service via e-mail often gives canned speeches which don't address the issue(s), however phone support is much better, but does not offer toll-free. Also, the inability to transfer a domain which has been changed within the last 60 days can be a nuisance.

Reliable, Affordable, Controversial

There are many things at GoDaddy that I don't like, and most are already covered above.

Sometimes however, I feel we domainers don't recognize how much GoDaddy helps us just by being there.

Breaks WHOIS

They break WHOIS for domains with them. Why should people have to visit their ad infested pages just to get the WHOIS of a domain?

The Price aint cheap, but still it's a good registrar

the only thing that makes godaddy a second choice is that the price a bit to high compare to other domain name registar

Cluttered interface, canned & robotic support. Cheap

Cluttered interface makes it hard to manage a domain portfolio, canned & robotic support. Cheap prices though!

Awkward to use

Can't stand them. Takes forever to do any simple thing; got to page through screenfuls of confusing offers to get any little thing done. Prices are not great. Got to go to them for whois stuff is another pain.

Good prices, no problems with them

I've been with GoDaddy for numerous years now and I've had no problems. Make sure you search for the GoDaddy thread on NamePros to find the coupon codes to save a few bucks.

i was going to register with them but after readying to many bad review about this company i stay away from them so i dont need to make anther mistake like what i did with registerfly... everyone can see nodaddy.com they really have bad review and commants ..

 

[Darth_Dub]

so far, so good

I now have five domains with them and i have had no trouble with them what so ever. I highly recommend thier services as a domain registar. Some say the prices are too high ,but you can find coupon codes all over the internet for godaddy. They even some very good deals from time to time. Thier customer service rep even called me once just to make sure i was happy with my purchase. I rate 9/10 and say give them a try.

It is been good until I get a .de. Domain status is pending update and no one at godaddy can do anything about it. I know it's probably DENIC.DE ..Can't blame godaddy for that. But would appreciate if they cooperated in much easier way for such extensions.

They have good price and features. The too much ads is buggy and makes me so confused their customer support just turns everything off its like talking to idiots

My favourite registrar

Perhaps their panel is slow and clumsy but they have a lot of features and still easy to use

Overwhelming pressure for add ons and disrespect for women lost my business. I think the core of their software is excellent, but it is lost in the clutter of too much marketing. The final straw came when I visited the blog of the CEO, Bob Parsons. I was appalled to see him standing surrounded by models...It just seemed creepy to me, not to mention entirely inappropriate. I switched to dynadot.com and it is like an enormous breath of fresh, clean air....and they are cheaper too!

Great prices with coupons.

Great prices with coupons. Bit wary of bad stories, also too many upsells. Wish they had a one click marketplace like Namecheap.

I use them for everything...almost

Honestly...I have been extremely pleased for the most part with GoDaddy as my registrar. I'm in the process of moving the rest of my names away from Network Solutions to my GoDaddy account. Their UI is great...when I make a DNS change it happens within minutes, not the 24-48 hours that it takes Netsol to switch DNS, and of course...their price is great.

My only gripe is their risque advertising practices. I have actually had to register names for clients of mine with another registrar because they refuse to do business with GoDaddy because they disagree with their SuperBowl commercials. (yeah, I think it's stupid too but they're my clients and I respect their wishes)

So far so good

I've transferred one domain to GoDaddy and registered one too. Both transactions quick and easy. Their interface could be better but as I don't plan on changing things too often that's not really a problem.
