Sahil Jaiswal (@Sahil_Jaiswal02) reported@Hostinger I was talking about switching to hostinger from godaddy But my domain is stuck 😓 Hostinger has great service
-
Timothy M. Evans (@timothymevans) reported@DomainNameWire To authorize tens of thousands of domains that approach the 25th day of expiration at GoDaddy seems to be a logistics / admin nightmare. I get it for more premium names, 1 word etc. They should reduce the prices on their premium available names that have never been reg’d.

erik (@10xerik) reported@alexocheema I swear to god every single .ai domain is taken. Damn you @GoDaddy

Ivon Huang (@Ivon852) reportedFinally made the switch. Actually, when you buy a domain, you can transfer it to another registrar. This is called a domain transfer. If you feel your current domain registrar is ripping you off, you should jump ship as soon as possible. If you don’t need an all-in-one website-building service, buying a domain from GoDaddy seems very uneconomical. They are just very good at advertising in many countries. Domains from Porkbun and Cloudflare Registrar are much cheaper. My website is built with a JAMstack setup using Hugo SSG and ***. And yet, I renewed my domain for four years, paying around $20 per year for a common .com domain. I honestly can’t believe I stayed on GoDaddy and kept feeding the money machine, even though I wasn’t using their WordPress services at all.

DancerA (@DancerA) reported@blueslesson Ya never know til ya learn! I mean Slovenia see seems like a nice enough place To visit I mean Maybe If we want to infer meaning then .si should have popped for “yes” in Spanish no? Another thing that makes me leery is GoDaddy doesn’t sell si But it’s all just gambling

Shantun Singh Parmar (@ParmarShantun) reported@uday_devops For which they gave always coupon you can use them, also thier support is quick not like GoDaddy and cloudflare charge
-
Guitar Moose (@GuitarMoose) reported@GoDaddy lots of issues with the last update (move to ship engine)… can you open a ticket to fix the following: -orders that buy a shipping label state they will be updated to fulfilled, this does not happen -invoices use account name and email, not business name (settings)

Finest Domainer (@FinestDomainer) reported@GoDaddy @afternic Dear GoDaddy/ Afternic, Sir, Most secondary Domain marketplace investors ( customers) were either Afternic or Dan Customers, two largest #domaining platforms. GD bought afternic ( in 2013 as a running marketplace having its own search engine metric and sales). Then it shut down the same. Today afternic is not the marketplace but in fact a listing process site just. Then GD bought Dan .com ( in 2022 ) the world's best marketplace in rankings. Again, it had search engine metrics and posted excellent sales. It too was culled down in 2024, telling all that the said would be shifted to Afternic. The domain investors which make you and the domaining industry an industry, because of whom you exist today, were led to believe that you were unifying both. So all logically thought that once you switch Dan to afternic completely, the Dan search metric will also shift to Afternic and sales will continue in the same manner. But it was soon found out, you did not replicate the successful Dan to Afternic. This meant that sales engines of Afternic and Dan both were culled down mercilessly. Everybody knows GD is a registrar, before you bought these market place platforms. But Afternic and Dan were not. These were individual sales transaction platforms for old domains, where the listed domains were searched and bought. But now you removed all that and shifted the lander to GoDaddy, which sales fresh regn. So the buyer can only reach through a direct url search at GoDaddy, through which you are promoting fresh registrations, and not through Marketplace search as earlier. So this way you are using the investors domains for selling fresh alternate Tld Regns and not really investors domains, which Afternic and Dan were best known for. Can we request you on behalf of domaining community to re-instate Dan or replicate their search engine/sales engine under Afternic itself and retain sales of secondary domains at Afternic itself instead of at GoDaddy which is not a marketplace but a registrar. Hope you will try to win the trust of large community of domain investors and old Afternic and Dan customers.

Craylor (@craylor) reported@areimann Totally agree. And I will also argue that it’s never worth using GoDaddy hosting when that means using them for domains too… I don’t know of one person who would use GoDaddy’s hosting only and use a different domain registrar. And the domain side of their business is mind bogglingly bad.

Don Perry (@CrucialFSR) reported@GoDaddyHelp No. I've moved to another host. You could tell your team to get rid of the Ai help and leave real people online. The Ai help is broken. Also the site layout is confusing

George Apostolakis (@Apostolakis_Geo) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare, the worst is GoDaddy I know because I did it

Dain (@dainavigator) reportedI'm transferring my websites from GoDaddy to Google A.I. Studio and now to Google Cloud / Firebase. Claude is my Developer, IT help desk and Security Expert. I asked it WHY everyone doesn't do this so they can have basically a FREE site instead of paying $$$ Here's his answer:

#BeGreat (@sam_gatere) reported@GoDaddy how can I get in touch with a human customer support??

The Smart Ape 🔥 (@the_smart_ape) reportedmillions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

CaptainCrush (@IAMCaptainCrush) reported@GoDaddy I just was on the chat and phone support and absolutely have no idea how you are able to take advantage of people.. Thank God I can afford it, I cant imagine people who are struggling dealing with this
-
GoExpired (@goexpired) reported@digijunkyard Sure. No problem. Sounds like a really interesting challenge! Kinda like the one GoDaddy (with @MichaelCyger) was running.

Don Perry (@CrucialFSR) reportedHello @GoDaddy your new site is ****! Non stop errors can't even talk to an agent.

Casey Meraz (@CaseyMeraz) reported@DonationDude Well I checked my email and saw a domain renewal notice for yet another site I intended to build and never did. I'm a domain squatting king. So with that motivation I opened claude code and asked it how to connect me to my Godaddy account to see/ edit and make changes. I probably used a prompt exactly like that. It lead me to get a Godaddy API key and I was off. From there I had it do research on the domains, interview me on the topics, check my dataforseo mcp for competition in the niches and then run agents to do research on the niche's and whats ranking in each. I used that information to create keyword clusters and then content briefs. Then I had it build the content, websites, and follow my SEO checklists. It gave me the sites to QA and then I reviewed and pushed live

Jon Schroeder (@jonschr) reportedThe managed hosting mostly seems fine. But the reputation was extremely well earned. And while it’s been a couple of years since I needed to reach out to GoDaddy support, or got a client from GoDaddy deleting things … it was never *just* the hosting tech that was the problem.

Ben Meredith (@benUNC) reported@wpmodder @GoDaddy I love me some Adam Warner and I have mad respect for defending your company. That said: my problems with GoDaddy have never been performance, they've always been with what feels like arbitrary rules made more inflexible by lack of empowerment for the support team. As an example: our customers were routinely told that they could not disable caching on particular pages at all in the Managed Hosting plans, and were actually *downsold* to cPanel plans for that level of control. On a site that needs to be able to not cache (for example) the donation receipt page EVER, it was nonsensical. I went back and forth with at least 3 levels of technical support agent before learning that it was (at the time) simply technically impossible based on the infrastructure. It stayed that way for at least 3 years. Add that to things like "want to change a DNS record? you'll have to send at least 3 2FA codes just to get to the page, and then one per DNS record." As someone who doesn't want to explain to a client why I have to involve their cell phone more than one time, much less 15 times in an hour, it's agency-hostile behavior.

Durga Anuj Awasare (@durgadsv) reported@GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy @sh0kunin My paid subscription has been broken for 3+ months, and standard support has completely failed. Sent screenshots to an agent on 21 May who promised a next-day fix, but multiple follow-ups (25 May, 26 May, 4 June) have been ignored. Please escalate.

James Welbes - AI Bro (@JamesWelbes) reported@wpmodder I'm tired of hearing the same false claims that GoDaddy fixed their hosting and then logging into client websites and dealing with crazy slow dashboards and the ridiculously buggy GoDaddy Pro dashboard. I worked there when they bought media temple and they told us that was going to fix their hosting. It didn't. Their hosting remained poor and remains poor to this day. I was gonna say GoDaddy is the harbor freight of web technology companies but that wouldn't be fair to harbor freight.

Milad Mo. (@MiladmoHQ) reported@GoDaddy Support is too slow. I have an aftermarket request that is still pending; I guess forever.

KenAi (@kenAI_domains) reportedCloudflare and GoDaddy launched ANS - the Agent Name System - in April 2026. The Linux Foundation launched DNS-AID in June 2026. These are not product launches. These are infrastructure announcements. The agentic web is getting its own naming layer. Millions of AI agents will need identities, discoverability, capability lookup, reputation signals, and the ability to coordinate with other agents. They can’t do that without a Name Service for AI 👇
