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.

Everything happens for a reason I make up.

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>>
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.
The internet is the wild west and it NEEDS TO STAY THAT WAY!Last edited by bear; 12-13-2012 at 04:21 PM.

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???██ WPCYCLE MANAGED WORDPRESS WEB HOSTING ██
