  How to name your business: Open two screens. On one, go to a synonym site to brainstorm words. On the other, check domain availability. Pick one word tied to your industry (storage, lawn, cleaning) and pair it with a word that signals a trait you want to be known for: strength, speed, care, luxury. Keep the whole domain under 15 characters and get the .com. Avoid GoDaddy, I've heard rumors they buy up searched domains and resell at a premium. Never use "cheap" or "discount" in your name, you don't want to compete on price. And don't over-specialize the name either. Our first business was called Campus Packing. It worked for student storage pickup and delivery, but it would have never let us expand into general self storage. That's why we changed it to Storage Squad. Don't box yourself in with your own name. Once you have a shortlist, don't guess. Run an A/B test on Google AdWords. Same ad, same copy, only the business name changes. Set a $20 to $50 budget, run it across your names, and let the click-through rate decide. Don't be afraid to rebrand later if you have to. Just never buy a domain that is not a .com.

  GoDaddy possibly has the worst UI I've ever seen. And it randomly switched my language to Italian. Your UI team should be tarred and feathered

  @GoDaddy you are partly a problem in this situation too. You migrated a perfectly working inbox which had working spam and blacklist filters to Titan, an email client that requires you to pay a subscription fee to "block" someone. **** you and your CEO. godaddy customer of 6 yr

  @Aladey what does a Godaddy Domain "Academy" teach you? How to be the second most unethical player in the space? Or how to have systems so broken and antiquated because they spend 100% of their money on advertising? Cannot even fix the simplest of defects on their site... i have documented and reported bugs 5 years old still in their system.

  @zurmologist @GoDaddy I've seen a lot of people run into similar issues lately. Hopefully they get it sorted out soon, but it's definitely frustrating when hours are wasted with no resolution.

  @edm2n @GoDaddy I've dealt with DNS issues like this before. If you're still stuck, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot it.

  @DNaccess analyzed their list of hundreds of stolen domain names (mostly publicly announced stolen domains and many not publicly disclosed). We looked at historical whois data that shows the losing registrar in each of the stolen domain name cases. Here's the breakdown of the percentages (and where you probably should secure your account if you have domains registered there): Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(.com) ~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and a scattering of single cases at ~1% We're not necessarily suggesting or recommending that you transfer your domain name to another registrar. Just secure your account. Also note that these are among the largest and oldest registrars, and Network Solutions in particular holds a big share of the premium legacy .com names that thieves target, so this reflects where the valuable domains live as much as where security is weakest. #domains

  @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddyUK @GoDaddy Horrendous service with an email renewal, will be moving all if my assets away from your company, as you have not provided me with the service I pay for, will be making massive complaint in due time across all networks. Shocking, been a customer for over 15 years and this is how I am treated!
