  @_NameOffice because godaddy spends $9999999999999999 on tv ads. You don't know how many people i have encountered in real life who are trying to setup a business, ask for advice, and go "i want to use godaddy, thanks though" Godaddy - broken systems. Predatory business.

  @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.

  @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy Another day, another runaround by GoDaddy for a problem that is re-occurring with my apps. Spent 2 hours on Monday dealing with it. They literally told me to hold for "3-5 minutes" then never returned. When I asked where the person was, I received an auto-response that the issue was closed because of inactivity. Damn, wish I could just "wish" or "ignore" problems away. Great business model. I was promised, finally, that the "backend group" would resolve and it would be fixed. I was reassured that this would happen. Here's another great feature of their help. I reached out again today. They started the same "Two Hour Hell-Hole" dance with the same stupid questions. I told them to look at the notes attached to my file. Their response? "We don't keep notes of the account". So, what are my options world?

  @darpanmunjal Awesome idea. Anything to help increase access and liquidity. On a bulk level, having a way to buy portfolios sight unseen by using a metric (say 15% - 20% of GoDaddy value) would be a game changer. @GoDaddy @Afternic

  Dealing with the shipping issue. @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp This has gone far enough you are destroying my legacy. @GoDaddy has been transitioning to an AI system and really has screwed things up on my end. I wanted to convert to Shopify but that’s also another hurdle. I’ll work on figuring out the shipping and making it right.

  @kekkodamato_ Why is everyone avoiding GoDaddy? Are they that bad?

  @TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported — at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap — they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

  Ivon Huang (@Ivon852) reported 28 minutes ago

  GoDaddy positions itself as an all-in-one website-building platform for small and medium-sized businesses. Besides domains, they also sell website builders, WordPress hosting, email, SSL, WHOIS protection, and marketing tools. GoDaddy is often cheap for the first year, then the renewal price goes up. But I don’t need any of those add-on services. So this year, I finally made up my mind and transferred my domain to Cloudflare Registrar. The price was basically cut in half. Cloudflare Registrar sells domains almost at cost. The transfer process was surprisingly straightforward. I thought GoDaddy’s terrible interface would try every possible trick to stop me from transferring out. But in the end, I just filled out a form, got the authorization code, and that was it. A domain transfer usually does not require an extra transfer fee. Your website will not go offline during the transfer process, but it usually takes at least three days to complete. After the domain transfer, the new registrar will charge you for one year of renewal upfront.

  @GoDaddy Dear @GoDaddy I noticed my website images are all flipped around all of a sudden. I didn’t make those changes. I have been sitting on hold for 50 minutes to speak to someone. And now the call just dropped all of a sudden. I have a full signal and I’m quite annoyed. Been paying for website for several years and every time I call customer service this keeps happening. It’s very annoying. 50+ mins to speak to a live person is horrible.

  I'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:

  @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp — longtime customer here with my domain & corporate email already in my account. Tried adding a Managed WordPress Deluxe subscription today, but chat support tried to finesse me with a massive $26.99/mo. Please fix this now.

  @GoDaddyHelp A second agent “helped”. They seemed to have their head more in it than the first agent who acted like he was playing Disney Solitaire too. Hopefully I won’t be billed after I asked two people to help me cancel. First agent was a lazy bottom-of-the-barrel zipperhead.

  I guess it still pays to talk to a real human being. Had to merge two of my @GoDaddy accounts. AI was a dead end road. Live person? No problem. Problem solved in a 15 minute phone call.

  Finest Domainer (@FinestDomainer) reported 52 minutes ago

  @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.

  @TTrimoreau Porkbun if u want clean interface. Namecheap for bundles. Never godaddy, thats 2010 behavior.

  They 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.

  @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.

  @IricMidel Porkbun and Cloudflare. I stopped using Hostinger because they failed to provide me with a new ip on an upgrade, I had 4 days of downtime. They are overly focused on AI rather than good web services and their support sucks. Never use Godaddy. Overpriced and they steal domains.

  What 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.
