  @DomainGang @ishmilly Afternic should carry the GoDaddy name. Everything they do should be GoDaddy. Drop the Afternic name, drop the DomainName idea, focus on the core brand. GoDaddyUltra, GoDaddyBusiness, GoDaddyAuctions, etc. Signal not noise.

  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 you guys should have a class action lawsuit against you. The Drupal website I have hosted with you auto updated to a newer version crashing the site. Instead of helping me troubleshoot your tech support tried to sell me a malware scan for $400. I reverted to earlier Drupal version from backups and my issue disappeared.

  I’m a trademark attorney, not a web developer. My old GoDaddy site never worked the way I wanted. Updating it was frustrating, the messaging was not converting, and I could never get Google Analytics configured correctly. 2/15

  I received my first cold email. This guy has a marketing technique, let me show you. It depends on your customer base (your market), but here is an overall idea. So, this guy provides social media marketing, website building, app building services. And he found me via ... My domain name! My domain has nothing hosted on it, but still... So, this guy seems to be scraping a whole bunch of social media accounts, reddit profiles, and subreddits too. So, he has 1000s (or even 10k s) of domain names listed. Now comes the magic part. He found contact details of all those domain names' owners. How? Every Domain Provider company like NameCheap @Namecheap (my favorite), (Square Space) @squarespace , Go Daddy (@GoDaddy ), and so on. All of they are, by law (by ICANN), required to allow people to contact domain owners via a web form. So, this guy has to just fill a web form to get to any domain owner. And for any reason, if you have a domain, you are doing something with it, if not, then you had an intention to do something... So, he fills all those web forms to get to the owners, (probably written by AI, or manually). In other words, he is kinda sending a cold email to all the potential customers. Good Trick, isn't it? You just need to find where your potential customers hangout, and somehow get their contact details. A lot of places require contact information, and they show it publicly, like Domain Name providers. Just fill a web form, run ollama qwen models to write the email too. For free. (BTW Qwen models are my favorite!) If you're a freelancer, doing marketing or web building, what are you waiting for? If you're a software engineer, go get your clients...

  Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reported 22 minutes ago

  GoDaddy shares fell in after-hours trading despite posting a Q2 2026 earnings beat, as investors were disappointed by guidance that merely matched expectations. EPS came in at $1.83, topping the $1.69 consensus by more than 8%, but Q3 revenue guidance of $1.32–$1.34 billion and full-year revenue guidance of $5.22–$5.26 billion were largely in line with Wall Street forecasts. The muted outlook failed to justify the stock’s strong pre-earnings rally, with GoDaddy shares having gained more than 21% over the previous month. Investors had been expecting stronger upside signals following the recent momentum. Sentiment was also weighed down by concerns that AI-driven website creation tools could pressure GoDaddy’s core web design, hosting, and domain businesses, potentially leading to margin compression. Institutional confidence has weakened as well, with T. Rowe Price significantly reducing its stake earlier in 2026. $GDDY

  I have finally escaped the clutches of GoDaddy and its wretched MS365, managing to transfer two domains and setup their new email hosts with little downtime and no outside human help. I'm rather proud of my cronelike self. Felt like Escape from Alcatraz.

  @sattyyouneed GoDaddy is ****. Has hidden fees and is the most expensive option out there. Porkbun is cheaper than namecheap, almost equal to cloudfare but with namecheap's ease. Never tried Hostinger.

  Cancelled my website with @GoDaddy because they removed my security certificate & tried to charge me $600 for a new one. I've been with them for about 17 yrs & NEVER had to pay for any security since it originally came with my website. Now I'll use social media to display my art.

  Earlier, I purchased the best VPS available on @GoDaddy. Now I'm about to purchase at least 4 (upto 15) more. The problem is -unlike earlier- I can't reach Godaddy Türkiye sales team to discuss our needs, plan the specs and I'm sick & tired of your chat staff! @GoDaddyHelp
