Godaddy a lost cause?

Anyone a big fan of godaddy please list some of the good things and bad things about them

I will start the ball rolling
good:
$5 domain auctionplace
bad:
I always loose my customer number

 

Man i thought I was the only one. Password reset record holder.

hosting glitch doldrums and new bandwidth billing?

 

Pros:
Interface is best of breed.
Lots of add ons.

Cons:
Starting to get expensive.

 

GD interface is on of the worst interface with full of annoying crappy useless ads

 

you might be right there and there parking is extremely expensive and doesnt earn alot of revenue
i think godaddy have started to go more for the money then the value of customers when the value of customers is better in the long run

 

Best DNS control and domain management interface. Also their phone support is very professional and responsive.

 

never used phones support before

 

Good : cheap , support
bad : slow domain control panel , expensive : parking , backordering

 

high renewal free and as for the interface, not so good as others.

 

Amen! I absolutely cannot stand the godaddy interface, and I don't care how cheap they are - I won't use them. I had one domain name registered there for a while, and it was a nightmare trying to figure out how to do simple things like a DNS change.

I'm the type of person who will gladly pay more to use a registrar with a simple and clean interface.

 

Earlier I used to have all my domains in godaddy. Have shifted almost all domains to namecheap now

 

i think their interface is crap, namecheap in contrast is so much better

 

I have only used godaddy in the past and found the ads very annoying as well. Just checked out the Namecheap site and quite liked the navigation, although it is not as slick as godaddy. Thanks.

 

Pros
Cheap domains especially as I write this
Reliable, quick customer service

Cons
Forget the login but luckily Firefox saves it
Auto-renews domains by default
Terrible interface for hosting

-----------

Basically, buy your domain names from GoDaddy, and host them somewhere else.

 

I agree enmar and yes godaddy's domains are pretty cheap i only register when they are on special which is every 2nd and 3rd week i suppose unless the domain just dropped in which case i snap it right away

 

Like any interface, it takes time to get used to it, and get the most out of it.
Low domain registration fees, cause them to try to upsell you on everything else. Just look for the links that help you bypass the upselling.

I have thousand of domains with them. We appreciate the dedicated Account Executive and the 24/7 support.
We get plenty of renewal reminders and if we let a domain expire, we still have a grace period. Average .coms fees are under $7.50 consistently without coupon, and their latest deal for some people is FANTASTIC:

$1.17 usd to register a new .com <--------- not bad at all. Coupon code is "BUYCOM99"

 

Thier control panel is super slow .. they have to work on that for sure

 

(+)
there's $5 auction sale i like that!
much additional options (it means GoDaddy makes me -or us- to buy more and more )

(-)
veryy sloooowww control panel page huh

 

Pros:
I don't have issues with the interface like have been suggested. I find it pretty easy to get around.

Cons:
I hate it that a new page is popped up when I open anything new.

 

Overall all good with Godaddy.

Pros: cheap domains, excellent registrar, good support, acceptable DN control interface

Cons: Warning! Do not try the hosting. It's a fast setup but have permission problems with Linux!
Windows hosting sucks for real! I tried.
