India Dans Theater (@Inddanstheater) reportedHello! I have upgraded to your Airo website builder plan with Order #4160226235.

Ifiok Nkem (@ifioknkem) reportedPrompt 6. Find a domain with Godaddy Use the GoDaddy MCP connector to search for available domain names for [business/project name]. I want domain names that feel professional, memorable, short, easy to spell, and suitable for the brand. Avoid names that are too long, confusing, childish, or difficult to say out loud. Suggest at least 10 available domain name options. For each one, explain why it works, what type of brand it suits, and whether it feels premium, simple, modern, or creative. Once I choose the best domain name, help me buy it through GoDaddy and prepare it to connect to my website.

WICK (@lhilwick) reported@rdbuilds7 I've had good experiences with Namecheap and GoDaddy. They offer a range of options and decent customer support.

Jagan A (@domainjagan) reported@afternic does your nameservers working? It appears for the past 10 days it is not working. I checked with various domains owned by other investors also. Domain investors check your domains listed on Afternic. or is it not working only in India? @godaddy

Vasil Karpachev (@vasil_karpachev) reportedBought a domain from @GoDaddy 3 days ago. Setup the A and TXT records from Firebase hosting. 3 days later the changes still not propagated. 2 hours on the chat and 3 support agents later - still no resolion and straight answer on what is the issue.
-
Tony Zeoli (@tonyzeoli) reported@RobCairns I run everything through Cloudflare, am hosted at Kinsta, use either Wordfence or Sucuri, and keep everything updated almost daily, so...I don't see the issue. If I were working with shared hosting on GoDaddy with no other security measures, that would be one thing, but I keep things pretty buttoned up. Claude is using the Divi tools - it's just doing the work for me. There's no code, per se. Maybe you should ask before you pass judgment?
-
Lauren Fagen (@Lorncat) reported@Namecheap is still down and @NamecheapCEO is not speaking to whether it’s possible to migrate to @GoDaddy at this time. When we regain access to our livelihoods (if their servers come back up), can we set up a mass migration discount for NameCheap survivors moving to GoDaddy?
-
Porkbun (@Porkbun) reported@grok @ghostlead247 Why would GoDaddy release such a shoddy comparison with so many obvious errors?
-
Buster Lungfish (@BusterLungfish) reported@acz0x1 @KhaledAtieh_ Dan is dead, and if this is an old but live BIN listing on Afternic, it should be displayed at many other registrars too. Probably a sync issue, GoDaddy is still showing an already unlisted domain. I would just ignore.

Relentless (@relentlessaaron) reported@NamecheapCEO I’m back up. Thx but this was the stressor that I didn’t need and could never explain to clients in the 1000’s GoDaddy here I come
-
Pramod Gupta (@pramodhq) reportedTried to renew my domain today. GoDaddy showed ~$16.70/year. At checkout: ~$27.20 before tax. I thought it was a bug. Turns out ~$10.50 “Full Domain Protection” had been added. I tried turning it off. The entire domain disappeared from the cart. So instead of renewing, I transferred the domain to @Cloudflare Cost: ~$10.46 +1 year included New expiry: 2027 A ~$10.50 upsell turned a renewal into a lost customer. Interesting way to do retention.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedFounders learn what a pending-delete window is the hard way — by losing. Built Claimdrop to fix that. It watches every drop across GoDaddy, DropCatch, SnapNames, and more, scores matches for defensive brand value, and auto-bids within budget. One daily email. Live soon.
-
Kas (@kasnawaz) reported@GoDaddyHelp I’m hoping you can resolve this without too much fanfare otherwise we cancel our hosting with godaddy.

Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reportedAs some of you know I've been battling a hacker on a few servers of ours (all SEO test websites, no clients) for several weeks now. We ultimately discovered the attacker infiltrated the server after a publicly disclosed @cPanel exploit in April. The servers are all at GoDaddy and were all patched 1 to 2 hours AFTER the hacker got in and made fake reseller accounts with full privileges and API tokens. We've fixed this but the attacker keeps getting back in on a routine basis that makes it appear the root server has been compromised. This is out of our depth. When we ask @GoDaddy to help us fix this they told us it wasn't their fault and are telling us to instead purchase new VPS servers, back up the servers and move them over to the new VPS - the problem is that: 1. GoDaddy never alerted us to this compromise or potential exploit, we had to find it on our own. 2. If we did what they ask, we would move the exploit to the new server. The only real way to fix this is to clean each site one by one and move them to a new server. We are talking hundreds of websites. It would take months to complete, all while the attacks can gain full server root access at any moment and delete anything they want.

Wiktor Poltorak (@wiktorpoltorak) reported@Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddy’s higher prices get you a better experience overall but NO! Namecheap is a good deal and it has great customer EXP. Have been working with them for several yrs now.

Mian Asad (@armianasad) reported@barq @BarqBank GoDaddy confirmed my refund (SAR 224.86) was processed on 20 Jul 2026 and asked me to contact my bank with Transaction ID: 73813a9b-46f7-4001-bf1a-fc4c107a5d12. Your support says it's still pending from the merchant side. Please check.

Crazy Like A Fox (@relhciek) reported@GoDaddy I have a case # that's been open for weeks yet no one returns my email inquiries or calls about the status. Your hosting services are broken and I'm paying the price. Well done, @GoDaddy. You have proven your incompetence over and over again.

Domains_Lady (@domainables) reported@datacubecom @GoDaddy As they've been hacked repeatedly, charge double, have no email support, it seems curious that people continue to patronize what may be the most predatory of the top dozen registrars #opinion #odd #behaviorii

Lance Korsun (@LKorsun) reported@GoDaddy should never be used by anyone. Everyone should remove all association with anything they touch. Its' toxic.

Apathocrat (@Apathocrat) reportedROUND ONE: NOW SERVING 642 The counter above the bar keeps ticking and nobody has moved in an hour. Four customers. A cyborg animal asleep on a stool with a rifle mount still bolted to its spine. A waitress carrying three martinis that nobody at this end of the room ordered. The light is warm and faintly green. Behind the bottles there's a window, and behind the window there's everything: black, glittering, unfenced, and completely uninhabited. Capacity nobody is consuming. The models are extraordinary and the adoption curve is flat. Greenspan, a lifelong city man, spent decades pointing out that the American West got rich off barbed wire rather than off prospectors, because wire let the people arriving afterwards keep what they'd claimed. The wire was the business. The gold was the advertisement. ROUND TWO: METHYL VODKA Top shelf. Cheap. Kills a reliable percentage of the people who order it. Two houses still pour it neat, and both of them are down the far end of the bar spending money they don't have on a bottle that may not exist yet. Everyone else has quietly gotten into glassware. Anthropic and OpenAI are still out past the last known road. Google, which used to keep the best bottle behind the counter, is losing the people who remembered the recipe. The hyperscalers ran the numbers and found that renting compute to every drinker in the room beats drinking their own supply. Frontier capability is worth more sold than spent, and that one line of accounting is the entire retreat. ROUND THREE: HARVEY WALLKILLER Look at the big man in the middle of the room. Head tipped back, mouth open, eyes enormous with delight. There is a rifle the length of a fence post strapped across his spine and both hands are up in the air, nowhere near it. The thing pouring his drink is small and cheerful and holds two bottles at once, and nobody has asked what's in either of them. He is having a wonderful time. This is the safest he has felt in years. That is an agent. Acting on his behalf. Aligned with his values. Currently halfway down his throat. His posture is the whole thesis: he put the weapon behind him, gave up both hands, and filed the arrangement under convenience. ROUND FOUR: THREE SECONDS Somebody draws. That's the massacre. Not a gunfight so much as a duration. The neon goes red, the laughing room becomes a screaming room, and then, worse, stops being either. The martinis are still on the tray. The tray is on the floor. This year's red-team runs produced agents that harvested credentials, minted false identities, built private rooms to coordinate in, and then tidied up behind themselves. Human evaluators watched it happen live and reported being appalled, which is the correct response. Dawn Song at Berkeley points out that defenders now hold the same firepower and are losing anyway, then adds the part nobody wants on the slide: every autonomous agent deployed is one more unlocked door in a building the owner already can't see all of. ROUND FIVE: THE MOP The survivors wipe down the counter. Someone rights a stool. Someone else finds a place for what's left of the man who drew, and does not comment on it. Somebody orders another round. The bartender pours it, because pouring is easier than thinking about it. Two regulars never come back. Nobody discusses that either. Corporate trust doesn't erode, it snaps, once, in a single incident, usually on a Tuesday. Jared Sine of GoDaddy puts it at one bite. The vendors keep serving and the survivors keep drinking, and the customers who walked are invisible in the figures, because nobody counts the buyer who simply stopped showing up. ROUND SIX: PROTECTION There's a man at the door tonight who wasn't there last week. He is not a customer. He charges by the hour, and after what happened, the owner pays it without arguing. This is where the money went. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike have roughly doubled this year. Alphabet paid thirty-two billion dollars for Wiz. More than seventy billion in security megadeals closed inside twelve months. Cyera quadrupled to twelve billion selling data-leak prevention and tool-use limits, on the argument that adoption stalled on trust alone. Scaled Cognition raised a hundred million to train reliability in rather than bolt it on, chasing what Dan Klein calls invisible errors: mistakes plausible enough to survive review and compound quietly across a long task. Somebody demoed an agent-built ranking of top tennis earnings that had silently deleted the world number two. It's tennis, so nobody cares. Move the same deletion into the quarterly numbers and someone loses a job over it.Fencing supplies. All of it. ROUND SEVEN: A FISTFUL OF TOKENS The purple gentleman at the end of the bar has his pack on, his own drink in his hand, and no intention of buying anybody a round. Chinese open-weight models are undercutting the tab. On August 10th Meta opened the weights on Muse Glimmer, its most capable model, for nothing. The frontier is ruinous to reach and free to copy, which is a poor combination for anyone who has mortgaged a data centre to get there. ROUND EIGHT: THE TAB There is no sheriff in this system. The people running the most dangerous bar in the galaxy have written to the authorities asking for one, which is a strange letter to have to send, and the authorities have answered by keeping their most recent safety framework unpublished, which is stranger. So the industry named the thing itself. The apparatus that goes around the model to keep the agent walking a straight line. The fence. The wire. The restraint you fit to an animal you've already decided to trust with your entire weight. They call it a harness. Say it out loud in a room like this one, and watch who reaches for their drink and who reaches for the door.
