-
Prashant Singh (@prashant_gigs) reportedI don't know when the domain registrars will understand user experience is as important as your domain service. --- okish -------- - hostinger - godaddy ---- garbage ---------- - namecheap
-
Alex | Web Perf (@AlexVibeCode) reported@TheUrbanMonk321 @GoDaddy Hiding basic subdomain DNS behind a broken AI chatbot just to fire support staff is peak corporate greed. Real indies need a clean control panel, not a 'smart' assistant. After 25 years, are your actual game servers trapped there too, or just the domain registrations
-
Dain (@dainavigator) reportedWhat GoDaddy / Wix / Squarespace actually sell isn't hosting — it's not needing a developer. You pay $200–500/yr for a website builder because it lets a non-technical person drag boxes around and never touch a DNS record. That convenience is the product. The underlying hosting (what Firebase does) has always been cheap-to-free; the markup is the "you don't have to understand any of this" tax.

Mirko Garozzo (@mirkogarozzo) reported@GoDaddy might genuinely have the worst customer service in the history of humanity.
-
Dollaruse (@Dollaruse) reported@DrewPavlou @JohnAndersonAC This one auDA and your registrar can act on immediately. Contact the registrar goDaddy for their help. The registrant is Teller Consulting Group ABN 93676364855. If this is you, the registrar can change the contact details to you, and you can do what you like to the site. /

./sattar (@i0x46) reported@GoDaddy customer support used to be top-tier. Now it's just a useless clanker who can't even let you talk to an actual agent. I think it's time to transfer everything somewhere else.
-
Larry Sankey (@arevolutionof1) reported@GoDaddy I've been trying to get tech support for nearly a half hour. I'm on the phone on hold. I tried the Contact Us chat thing repeatedly and it says no one is available. Texted and no answer.
-
Cudi (@Cudi7x) reported@trashh_dev @GoDaddy GoDaddy? Wtf
-
Christine Harrington (@savvysaleslady) reported@GoDaddyHelp Thank you for finally answering me. Still I have not received any answer on why my domain’s DNS suddenly stopped propagating globally nor did anyone fix 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.
-
Jacob Stimpson (@jacobstimpson) reported@GoDaddy or @GoDaddyHelp or @GoDaddyPro who can help me get a copy of an audio recording where your agent out of frustration decided to hang up on me instead of escalating my request to someone who could help? I spent 1hr on hold then had 15 min with the agent before she hung up on me.
-
Lukas McVey (@McveyLukas) reported@GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp Despite being the original account holder, removed without consent and providing all the documentation you insist I am not an account holder. You were scammed, 8 emails and same automated response. Very poor organisation
-
Apop (@ApopFonz) reportedwtf is going on with Wallpaper Engine? I tried opening it up and just sends me to a godaddy page??
-
Debra Borchardt (@WallandBroad) reported@GoDaddyHelp can you check on my case 01523536? My site has been down for days and not working properly for months. I can’t get a status on the case. I paid $400 to renew my site and so far it’s been broken ever since I paid. I’ve spent hours with cust service to no avail
-
S (@madhav028) reported@GoDaddy Your support is just ****, 3-4 days now they are not able to resolve my issue just ghosted on call and chat support.
-
Alex | Web Perf (@AlexVibeCode) reported@WPProductTalk @GoDaddy @Drewbewilde AI triage is an interesting pivot for GoDaddy. Does Drew's tool actually have server-level execution rights to fix complex WP errors (like memory limits or DB locks), or is it primarily a smart knowledge base designed to deflect Tier 1 tickets?
-
Todd Miller (@LasVegasTodd) reported@MCanttel @bavedikian Worked for me with Godaddy. Literally had a manager call me back and resolve my issue.
-
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.
-
Aaron (@aarons_takes) reportedUnironically I think GoDaddy (more like Afternic) lander page views are under-reported. Not saying this is bad, I’d almost rather have under reporting than over reporting due to how much bot traffic is on the internet. I ran a small test, and, I know there have been X number of link clicks to an Afternic domain-for-landing page. Yet, interestingly, the lander stats in Afternic have not increased. If I heard correctly Afternic landers tend to have the heaviest anti-bot filters. This isn’t confirmed to my knowledge just what I’ve heard through the grapevine. GIF unrelated

Faizan Shaikh (@FaizanS1996) reported@shahtotus @GoDaddy whats the use of paying so much and not getting great service, switch to something reliable (fresh roasted hosting ) and comes up with good uptime and great support.
-
Blake Bertuccelli-Booth (1111) (@bbertucc) reported@photomatt @gauravsapkotanp @wordpressdotcom Make managing domains simpler. This comes from someone who was going to transfer all domains from Google to you, but decided to go with godaddy. Maybe you need a domain focused service? Design it like Google Domains. RIP.
-
Tom Talks Cars (@TomTalksCars) reportedTheres not many adverts that make me want to use a product less than @GoDaddy ones. Registered 10+ domains in the last week and actively avoided using them based on that ****
-
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).

Craylor (@craylor) reportedI always like to give credit where credit is due, and I was quite impressed with GoDaddy's managed WP hosting last time I tried it (and that was years ago). With that being said, my problem with GoDaddy has always been centered around the crazy high domain pricing, predatory upsells, and awful customer service. Number one example: why is GoDaddy still selling "Full Domain Protection"? Does it seriously cost GoDaddy anything to "prevent unauthorized domain actions"? GoDaddy has great branding. GoDaddy has some great team members. GoDaddy has some great products, even. But the core business principals deployed are anti-customer. I can't fault GoDaddy for doing what makes money, I get it. But I will passionately be a "NoDaddy" until the day GoDaddy gives up these practices.

Yashwant Tendulkar (@sky17katas) reported@GoDaddyHelp my auctions account is suspended and I can't pay for my winning bids which expire tonight. Chat widget isn't loading. Need urgent help. DMs open. @GoDaddy

#BeGreat (@sam_gatere) reported@GoDaddy how can I get in touch with a human customer support??
-
Debra Borchardt (@WallandBroad) reported@GoDaddyHelp It’s been two days and I’ve heard nothing. My site is still down. I’ve been pretty patient but if I don’t get a response I will dispute the $400 I paid to renew my domain and site.

Alan D. (@LinkOrchard) reportedThey chop and change all the time! So bad for trust. @Godaddy now only a tiny bit worse on transfers. Sure UD say "we commit to at cost pricing" - no disrespect just harder to believe you.

Satoshi Nakamoto, Andrew Rulnick (@MickeySteamboat) reported@alexgrenier @olsenbdnr Yep they also said that about machines impacted by heartbleed when I found that day zero at GoDaddy. I've also seen a lot of machines and builds that check out that can be relatively easily rooted. So what do you want me to tell you man? I just have had a lot of bad experiences with Rust, Java, and people that slop C Look man you could very well be one of the best engineers writing the safest and most optimized Rust code in the world and of no fault of your own I think your systems will get ******. If it's not you, it's Intel, or AMD causing a problem and to be honest I have good reason to suspect they do it intentionally for backdoors for uncle Sam and company.
