I'm still on the fence. (should this be a choice?)

They do have an exceptionally crappy web interface, and their marketing is distasteful. On the other hand, I've called them several times over the last couple years for random support, and my experience with that has always been excellent.

So yeah, still on the fence. And all this Godaddy backlash has just a tad to much witch-trial feel to it. But man their web interface sucks...



Here's a tip: SWITCH, they suck ass.

Basically, the CEO hunts elephants ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/31/bob-parsons-godaddy... ), they helped redact SOPA & support it, they are exempt from SOPA, have a bad attitude, refuse to respond to requests at random / throttle ( http://rscott.org/dns/GoDaddy_Selective_DNS_Blackouts.htm ).

What else do you need to hear to not "be on the fence" any more?

P.S.: I don't have domains at godaddy and never will. I also don't tell you or anyone else to what company to switch, just to switch from them.


Your experience with their support was excellent because mine was very poor ... in the sense that they charged me money and didn't gave it back - they have auto billing enabled by default.

So yeah, go enjoy on the expense of other people both money-wise and liberty-wise, support the damn bastard
