Generation Infinity (@Genfinity) reported🌐 GoDaddy and HOL Propose Open Standards for AI Agent Identity on Hedera. GoDaddy manages millions of domains. We sat down with them and HOL to break down the identity layer for the agentic economy: • ANS: verifiable identity layer for AI agents • HCS-14: universal agentic ID across registries and chains • HCS-27: ANS checkpoints anchored on Hedera, publicly verifiable • Fractions of a penny per transaction on Hedera • Open standards: IETF + Linux Foundation + LF Decentralized Trust "DNS tells you where the agent is. Hedera proves where the registry stood and went." The SSL of the agentic internet is being built. GoDaddy and HOL are orchestrating it. Hedera technology is verifying. @GoDaddy | @HashgraphOnline | @Hedera Full Interview:

Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported@itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.

Bodhi- Local SEO (@irentdumpsters) reportedStep one. Buy the domain. Go to GoDaddy right now and search [YourCity]ShowerDoors(.)com. I just checked. BocaRatonShowerDoors(.)com is available. So is MiamiShowerDoors(.)com. So is TampaShowerDoors(.)com. Most of these exact match domains are sitting there for $12. That domain alone will outrank half the glass companies in your city within 6 months because Google still gives weight to exact match domains for local service searches. Every glass company in town is ranking under "JohnsGlassAndMirror(.)com" and you are sitting on the exact phrase people search.

Dami Dina (@DamiDina) reported@pratiknagariya i would never trust godaddy. why not use cloudflare. you should upgrade your brand trust

NameBio (@NameBio) reportedSpaceship, can you please change your policy for account changes at GoDaddy, so that you're providing both an email and a customer number like all other major marketplaces? Because you don't provide a customer number, the only way to approve the transfer is through email, which is unreliable. If you don't receive the email the seller has to cancel the push and start it over again, and keep repeating this process until (and if) you finally receive the email from GoDaddy. But if you provided a customer number as well, you could just log in and go to pending transfers in and accept it, even if you never receive the email. It never fails this way. I have a sale where I've already done the push and gone through the DTVS security call THREE TIMES now, and your reps keep insisting that they don't see a pending transfer email. This is absolutely ridiculous, and it's an easy fix to update the canned push instructions. Please... seriously, there's no reason not to. @spaceship @namecheapceo123

Alex | Web Perf (@AlexVibeCode) reported@HenryPa27479312 @Hostinger @GoDaddy Getting trapped in an automated ID verification loop while your org's domain goes offline is a nightmare. Hostinger's bot support is notorious for this. Once you finally force them to release your domain, get it onto isolated cloud infrastructure with real human engineers

Mr.Stewart (@fimily) reported@TyroneKintyre @GoDaddy Depending on the degree of the issue, I should be able to assist you.

판교에듀포럼 (@pangyo29482) reported@GoDaddy The customer support advertised as available 24/7 is effectively limited to international phone calls and English-based communication.

🔥Sven ☠ 2157🔥 (@Sven2157) reportedI have several website issues today, since I switched to @Namecheap from @GoDaddy & GLAD I DID! Took less than 5 min to assess the issue with NC. GD would have me on hold for 1-4 hours, AND STILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Bob Parsons would be ashamed! Global CPanel/WHM outage.

Sarthak Shaurya (@alwaysSarthak) reported@ethanjaack Is there any issue with GoDaddy that I am not aware of?

Eyüphan ASLAN (@EyuphanAslan) reported@GoDaddyHelp I have already emailed full chat logs, timelines, and proof to your escalation team under Reference OOPR-182030. My customer number and contact info are attached there. Please look up that reference code directly and process my refund. I expect a resolution today.

elena (@elephnaburky) reportedGlitch uses 3 different registrars, and never have their organization name publicly listed. - GoDaddy (Glitch Store, TheWackyWatch) - NameCheap (TheProphecy, ParkPlanet, Store Redirects) - Tucows (GlitchProd) They don't use NiceNIC, which is what the Solver site uses. 10/20

K Megan maloney (@bugsinprod) reportedHave been having the issue where I can’t update my store In godaddy. Done all the things - cleared cache 2 calls with tech no resolution

Jake Moreland (@jakeymoreland) reportedDo i have any contacts here / anyone on here with the auDA & Godaddy. for the second ******* time in a month my website is DOWN. i lost emails the first time due to you not following processes correctly, and I'll no doubt lose emails this time. Do your job, it's paid for.
-
elena (@elephnaburky) reported@ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 It was for sale by GoDaddy, and if Glitch owned it, it would've stayed GoDaddy. It was transferred to NiceNIC sometime between then and now. Glitch has never used NiceNIC.

jx (ultraviolet) (@jx) reportedBefore today, I never had a feeling about @squarespace either way. After today, I say they're a HARD AVOID in the future, right there with GoDaddy. We have full account control, can prove we own the domain, but won't let us update the registration. Support is stonewalling. Luckily this is a website that isn't top priority, so I have time to play this stupid game. Do not trust SquareSpace for registering domains. They are not following the standard contact rules for domains, and if you need to change something, you may be screwed. GoDaddy makes it easy to steal your domain, SquareSpace makes it hard to edit/move them.

homère sans h (@cubiqeue) reported from Châtillon, Île-de-FranceImpulsive thoughts: who ******** decided that GoDaddy name was a good idea for a domain provider?
-
Sarthak Shaurya (@alwaysSarthak) reported@nalinrajput23 I prefer godaddy, never tried hostinger
-
anshul (@luhsnaa) reported@socialwithaayan @usenaive This is the right abstraction layer imo. Agents don't need browser automation for GoDaddy as much as they need durable primitives: buy domain, verify ownership, manage DNS, issue inboxes, and expose rollback + audit logs. Otherwise the demo works once and ops becomes a mess.
-
John Andrews (@johnandrews) reported@Yibecoder I don't entirely disagree, but I'll question your determination of "the aftermarket". Aside from eager domain investors, who tolerates all the friction (and risk) of the promoted aftermarket (Afternic, GoDaddy, Atom etc)? Once commercial parking got corrupted, owners were left with NO options for participating in an aftermarket. This is an easy problem to solve but would require cooperation from registrars, who are very unlikely to cooperate.

Boi (@boi_404_) reported@adahstwt Bought a domain from GoDaddy and ew the UI/UX dashboard it's soo awful Even it's login page it's sooo confusing And DNS management? 🤮 Ig that's what u get when u go for cheap stuff ;)
-
Price Foulger (@pricefoulger) reported@bprintco Same issue rn it’s very frustrating. By the way, the GoDaddy broker thing for $99 is a complete waste of money

HRH Prince Sven Olaf of CyberBunker - CB3ROB (@cb3_rob46858) reported@adahstwt you will find that godaddy staff is just a bunch of god damn mail reply bots. lol. and those don't even work well.

HRH Prince Sven Olaf of CyberBunker - CB3ROB (@cb3_rob46858) reported@adahstwt godaddy has always been a **** company. way back in the days they did not know what 'glue records' are. lol. :P well gee if i put a domain on nameservers within itself, would you be so kind as to also put A records to those in the gtld server? idiots.
