    I've had a domain taken from me and held for ransom by them. I think it was $75 to get it back. I have since then never recommended GoDaddy to anyone.

    Goes along the lines of "policing the internet" like the megaupload story and others where the government decides what is internet worthy and what is not.

    I canned GoDaddy long agg and went to another registrar. Godaddy's domain management system is extremely bloated, hard to use and arcane. I wouldn't recommend them to my worse enemy.

    Perhaps it's the fact that they supported Sopa. They only went back on the word because the public was not going to let it go. I have met the founder and quite a few execs. It's really a great company that try their best to do good among everyone but for some reason, this has always stuck with me. I remember using GoDaddy back in the day but this will pretty much be the last year I use them for any projects "domains" sadly due to the sopa issue. <<snipped>>

    Now that infuriated me big time and made me hate my country until I realized they weren't really the ones behind it. If you want people including myself to fight for human rights. Internet privacy is one of them! If you have seen the Steve Wozniak interview, I agree with what he says 100%, if you haven't YOU NEED TO!

    The internet is the wild west and it NEEDS TO STAY THAT WAY!

    Can you even imagine how cruel it is to an entire African village perish from hunger because they have no elephant meat to cook dinner?

    Lol. Yeah, that was a nice little spin by Godaddy's PR people. "Godaddy CEO kills elephant - Feeds Hungry African Village"

    - Supports internet censorship - check.
    - Tried to stop people from moving out domains during SOPA fiasco - check.
    - CEO kills elephants for sport - check.
    - Horribly user-unfriendly control panel - check.
    - Constant attempts to upsell pointless services - check.
    - Overpriced shared hosting - check.

    Godaddy does have one plus - their expired domain auctions have plenty of gems. That's the only reason I still have a Godaddy account.

    I noticed it in a previous conversation with Zoid.

    People including myself have various issues or reasons not to use GoDaddy. I've seen a few other sig's on here that indirectly calls out the usual suspects, but none of them mention a specific company. I wonder if that is allowed as a sig???

    Because they pump a ton of money into advertising. I've never seen a NameCheap commercial, but I've seen a ton of GoDaddy SuperBowl commercials.

    Incompatible selling tools.

    Also the ratio to people like us compared to regular people who just buy domains. Were about 0.00000000034% on Go daddy's scale.
