  I always like to give credit where credit is due, and I was quite impressed with GoDaddy's managed WP hosting last time I tried it (and that was years ago). With that being said, my problem with GoDaddy has always been centered around the crazy high domain pricing, predatory upsells, and awful customer service. Number one example: why is GoDaddy still selling "Full Domain Protection"? Does it seriously cost GoDaddy anything to "prevent unauthorized domain actions"? GoDaddy has great branding. GoDaddy has some great team members. GoDaddy has some great products, even. But the core business principals deployed are anti-customer. I can't fault GoDaddy for doing what makes money, I get it. But I will passionately be a "NoDaddy" until the day GoDaddy gives up these practices.

  @GoDaddyHelp, when last did you call your support line in South Africa? Press 1, press 1, press 1, repeating is not working and 20 years old. Come on

  @GoDaddyHelp Have you even reviewed my previous response? The issue remains unresolved after 20 days, with no clear explanation or resolution and you are just mentioning about refund and your policy. I have had enough. If this is not resolved within the next 48 hours, I will escalate it

  @DomainDanHQ 3/3 How could it be then the FT only partner list gets 55 million more views? Maybe the link above is listing them backwards? (Or I'm reading it backwards)... i.e., the FT only partner list is the one with GoDaddy in it? @AlanShiflett said he'd look into this, but never got back

  @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp — longtime customer here with my domain & corporate email already in my account. Tried adding a Managed WordPress Deluxe subscription today, but chat support tried to finesse me with a massive $26.99/mo. Please fix this now.

  You used to pay $200 a year just to put a padlock on your own website. Then Let's Encrypt happened. In the early internet, SSL certificates were controlled by a handful of corporations. Every website had to pay them every single year or visitors would see a scary security warning and leave. DigiCert → $200 a year Comodo → $150 a year GoDaddy → $70 a year They turned basic internet security into a subscription. And millions of small websites simply could not afford it. By 2014 only 30% of the web was encrypted. Not because encryption was hard. Because it had a price tag. Then, in 2015 a group of engineers launched Let's Encrypt. Free SSL certificates for every website on earth. Automated. No credit card. No annual fee. Forever. The certificate industry laughed at them. They stopped laughing fast. One million certificates in the first year. One million every single day by 2018. One billion total by 2020. Ten million every single day today. Let's Encrypt now controls 57% of the entire SSL certificate market on earth. The web went from 30% encrypted to over 80% in under ten years. DigiCert still exists. Comodo still exists. But they lost the internet to a nonprofit that decided security should never have a price tag. The SSL industry spent 20 years building a tollbooth on the web. Let's Encrypt tore it down. For free. Forever.

  @Umesh__digital I often find namecheaps email service quite clunky, godaddy uses m365 so a bit better. Not sure about cloudflare but heard good things

  @GoDaddyHelp Hello, I need a refund for order #4115631028. It’s a Microsoft 365 email renewal for 348 AED that I didn’t authorize, never used, and I’m within 30 days. No renewal notice was sent. Please help cancel and refund.

  The other day I saw someone posting how Godaddy WordPress hosting has changed and anyone talking crap about it needs to stop repeating stuff from years ago. I am migrating a site off Godaddy today for a client and their backend has broke twice in this process. Same crap, don't believe anything else.

  @TTrimoreau The answer is never GoDaddy. If you don't need to survive deplatforming due to ideology, it is Cloudflare. Otherwise, go with Epik.

  GoDaddy positions itself as an all-in-one website-building platform for small and medium-sized businesses. Besides domains, they also sell website builders, WordPress hosting, email, SSL, WHOIS protection, and marketing tools. GoDaddy is often cheap for the first year, then the renewal price goes up. But I don’t need any of those add-on services. So this year, I finally made up my mind and transferred my domain to Cloudflare Registrar. The price was basically cut in half. Cloudflare Registrar sells domains almost at cost. The transfer process was surprisingly straightforward. I thought GoDaddy’s terrible interface would try every possible trick to stop me from transferring out. But in the end, I just filled out a form, got the authorization code, and that was it. A domain transfer usually does not require an extra transfer fee. Your website will not go offline during the transfer process, but it usually takes at least three days to complete. After the domain transfer, the new registrar will charge you for one year of renewal upfront.

  @craylor GoDaddy hosting is leaps and bounds better than it was a decade ago. The problem is, the hosting might be good, but their support is not great, DNS kind of sucks, their "delegate access" works kind off (support actually told me to just ask the client for their password), etc. I deal with GoDaddy daily and I do not enjoy it.

  millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

  @wpmodder @GoDaddy I love me some Adam Warner and I have mad respect for defending your company. That said: my problems with GoDaddy have never been performance, they've always been with what feels like arbitrary rules made more inflexible by lack of empowerment for the support team. As an example: our customers were routinely told that they could not disable caching on particular pages at all in the Managed Hosting plans, and were actually *downsold* to cPanel plans for that level of control. On a site that needs to be able to not cache (for example) the donation receipt page EVER, it was nonsensical. I went back and forth with at least 3 levels of technical support agent before learning that it was (at the time) simply technically impossible based on the infrastructure. It stayed that way for at least 3 years. Add that to things like "want to change a DNS record? you'll have to send at least 3 2FA codes just to get to the page, and then one per DNS record." As someone who doesn't want to explain to a client why I have to involve their cell phone more than one time, much less 15 times in an hour, it's agency-hostile behavior.

  @RIPattermoore @GoDaddy A few design and messaging tweaks could make it feel more like a thriller experience than a standard author website. I'm a designer and would be happy to share some ideas or even help with a redesign if you're interested. Either way, wishing you success with the series.
