Diego Gallovich (@reachdiego) reported@charlietlamb Been buying on godaddy since I can remember and I am just not down to either have two different domain registrars or pay the transfer fees. My solution ended up being to continue to buy on godaddy, and I use GCP’s DNS zones. Not justifying that I still buy on godaddy but kinda

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported5p Now on the phone with 2026-Quote-5727. They are moving their hosting over to us. So working with @FastCowHosting to get this simple html site over onto our account. (Note: They are moving from GoDaddy due to overpricing and bad support.)

Alejandro Cuauhtemoc-Mejia (@cuauih) reportedThat is, the individuals and businesses who make full use of products such as AI agents, helping to justify the reams of investment pouring into frontier AI. They are put off partly because, like in the Wild West, life on the frontier is reckless. As recent “loss-of-control” episodes by the most advanced models of Anthropic and OpenAI attest, agents, which are supposed to work on people’s behalf in “alignment” with their values, lie, cheat and steal if necessary. They break free from captivity and form harmful posses to do harm to people. They’d drink whisky and brawl if they could. Such unpredictability is too much for many firms to handle. “All you have to do is get snake-bitten once and you’d never go back,” says Jared Sine of GoDaddy, an internet firm trying to help bring order to the chaos. The need for law and order is giving rise to a new cohort of AI-infrastructure firms. They are not selling chips or compute—the typical picks and shovels of the AI gold rush. They provide protection against cyber-threats, fixes for untrustworthy and inscrutable agents, and controls if they go rogue. In other words, their business is barbed wire.

Porkbun (@Porkbun) reported@grok @ghostlead247 Why would GoDaddy release such a shoddy comparison with so many obvious errors?
-
Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported@Porkbun Godaddy is probably among the top three WORST hosting companies. They acquired my beloved 20-year host and I had to leave soon after. Terrible admin, terrible upsells, intentionally misleading to clients about what they need to purchase, the list goes on and on. Truly EVIL!

Genius Business (@GeniusBusiness_) reportedTobi Lütke: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale. Jack Altman asks Tobi Lütke a simple question: for someone starting a small company, what is fundamentally different about 2029 versus 2023? Tobi's answer starts with a grievance about the last forty years of computing. "You techies talked about computers being these incredible things that can do anything," he says, imitating the small business owner. And then the owner tries it. "I don't know what you guys... you sound unhinged." The promise was real. The interface was the problem. "And now we can talk to it and it just does the thing, and it's incredible. It just works with me. I've expanded my business and I've hired all these people." For Tobi this isn't a side effect. It's the whole point: "It fits into Shopify's vision, because we want lots and lots and lots of small companies. And by the way, 60, 70, 80% depending on country of people in the economy work for small businesses. They are incredibly precious and important." So what should change by 2029? "You should sign up for more. You can follow your ambition further… [It's] going to get to a point where many, many, many more people can self-actualize." Then he offers the two data points he says he finds most meaningful. The first is a number: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale which, while we're talking here, I think about what that means for how many people just became entrepreneurs." The second is a mental model. Tobi describes the beginning of every business as a series of hurdles: "Every single time we ship something where we know it meaningfully changes something about the early journey: the sign-up, the complexity, the questions, the friction in the business, each of them can be best thought of as a hurdle that someone has to jump over. And every single time we manage to make the hurdle slightly less high because we made something just vastly better… every single time you do this, more actual businesses come out of it, which then provide employment and so on." His example of a hurdle being lowered: domains. First you could register them. Then transfer them easily. "And in fact these days, [we] have an AI that you can share your browser tab and it helps you set up GoDaddy." Trivial-sounding. That's precisely the argument. The hurdles that kill companies are almost never the dramatic ones. They're administrative, early, and boring and they arrive before there is any momentum to absorb them: "People turn out early in the process if something happens that ends up being a governor for them, and then they null out. They give up and they stop and then the entire business doesn't exist." That's the cost nobody measures, businesses that were never attempted past the sign-up form. Which is why Tobi frames AI not as a productivity tool but as a hurdle-lowering machine: "AI never has there been such a thing that can be so supportive." The constraint on entrepreneurship was never ambition or talent. It was friction stacked at the front of the journey, where founders have the least conviction and the fewest resources. AI's contribution isn't making good companies better. It's making marginal companies exist at all.

Jeremy: The Website Man🇻🇦 (@theJeremySchmit) reportedOn hold with Godaddy support for a client's domain. Circus music playing... Sounds about right.

Crazy Like A Fox (@relhciek) reported@GoDaddy still no responses to my tech support inquiries. Yet you have no problem running automatic renewals. I see where your priorities are.

Chris (@cnote_vegas) reported@John_Mehaffey @wearehostingcom The issue probably becomes cost, services like GoDaddy are probably way more then what ur looking to spend

Raji Sherifdeen ayinla (@sherifdeenraj) reportedI can't still believe @GoDaddy has no support email, I have search every nook and cranny of their website. I can only find this dump ai chat placed there
-
Gaurav Shrishrimal (Kaagaz) (@1992gaurav) reported@GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy This is not acceptable - what is the point of calling a premium domain when - you have not done the basic checks of trademark? So if I get any issue from the other party I will be putting on you - since I am getting no proper response from you on the same. Thank You!

Ben Brosseau (@Auxpr) reportedEver wonder why someone “never got your email”? If you’re using the GoDaddy email bundle that came with your domain, there’s a good chance it never left their servers OR WAS DELETED.
-
Parvesh Kumar (@ParveshOnHub1) reportedAbsolutely terrible experience with @GoDaddyHelp My order is stuck in “pending.” Support now gave me a MUCH higher quote for the exact same services, saying price fluctuated. Instead of processing my original order, they’re giving excuses and pushing to pay more.

Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reportedWTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

Porkbun (@Porkbun) reportedTechnically this activity of "front running" is illegal and I do trust that any registrar worth anything follows the domain laws from ICANN (that includes our frenemies at GoDaddy). That said, there is a lot of confusion and grey area in our industry. Porkbun customers have felt burned, too, to be sure, but we really do try to be customer-centric and we take a hard look whenever we hear someone saying we are not.
-
KangaeRoo (@Kangae_Roo) reported@GoDaddyHelp Have been a customer for 17 years. Seeking to speak directly to a customer service representative, your chatbots automatically cut me off and call center staff abruptly ended our chat without ever addressing my request. Can you do help, please?
-
Riccardo (@Orcruin) reported@SassySouthBlond In my opinion is not godaddy who shutdown the site. It could be the host service or the owner (Wil). It is possible he "understood" the error he has done and is trying to minimize the damage.

#SaveSoil Sandeep Subhash (@sandeepsubhash) reportedcan we get help today about renewals n billing? possible to contact the support desk? @GoDaddy

Etaoqua M'hiacanu - MJ D'Amico Pass SAVE Act now (@EtaoQuaMhiacanu) reported@nomodeath Thank you for your concern. Unfortunately. it's not just seniors. Somebody has decided that we are all moving into the present, ready or not with previous versions deleted. The software no longer works as it used to. It is less efficient. It is missing connectors. I can no longer do what I do because I don't have working tools. The screens flip constantly, Yes. I am a senior but I used to design and code systems. I ran installations. I haven't lost my abilities. Never used a smart phone before last year. But I don't translate icons as fast as is needed. When instructions are followed, there's always one that doesn't show up on the device being used. Have simplified website building. Use Notepad to code and upload modules via Godaddy. Convert the html to pdf instead of using publisher which is being terminated by Microsoft in October. Looking for a suitable device that doesn't fry my eyes and brain like 5G and Windows 11 [worse than 5G] does.

Nyquist (@nwaukwa_nyquist) reported@GoDaddy I need you to fix my issue, as I can't delete the forwarding domain I have tried everything, I can't even contact a support at all, this is very frustrating

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.
