I tried to checkout a domain from godaddy before, but it seemed much spammy /messy and dropped in the middle. At the same time name.com and namecheap offers clean and easy interface. I am afraid of doing domaining with godaddy after hearing the horror stories from http://nodaddy.com/ How good is godaddy services in your experience?
godaddy is an old company for domain registration and one of the biggest at the moment so there is no point to ask if you can trust them. The problem is when a customer wants to register a domain he/she should go through some other offers they provide. If you do not feel comfortable with godaddy, than choose an other domain registrar.
I suppose that is enough to do the search for their name to find out how many people trust or not trust them at all.
Yup I don't like godaddy either. Looks kind of spammy. In comparison, namecheap (http://www.namecheap.com) is excellent. I really like their simple interface, unlike godaddy!
