Why use a registrar other than GoDaddy

[miitree]

I kind of like GoDaddy. They are transparent, offer good service, and their prices are good. Coupons are also generally available for reduced prices.

So what's my point?

As I look at domains for sale there are a couple of them that I would like to purchase. However, both of them are regged somewhere other than GoDaddy. I know I can get a free account at these other registrars. However, when I get to the point of registering at the bottom of the form there is a check box about reading their contract. At that point I look at the contract, get bewildered at all the the legalese, don't know what I am getting into so I close the screen and forget about registering with that registrar.

If everyone used GoDaddy things would be so much easier.

Anyway that's my rant.

Godaddy.com is crude.
It's the sleazy look that bothers me,

I wish it was! :lala:

Go Daddy has the slowest control panel among all registrars

I have to agree plus we need competition, I have a few at Godaddy & they are a good register but most are now at Mydomain.com, much better bulk managment & faster purchase interface.
