This is great from a sheer silly-factor. I typed in coffee and got:

coffeeprick.com coffeehymen.com coffeemucus.com

...and more! At the very least, it does come up with some unorthodox names that might work out well if you want people to remember your site.

I'll never use your service not just because you deal with GoDaddy, but because you even considered dealing with GoDaddy. Never.

yeah, i thought about bookmarking that service, then i realized that they link to godaddy...

Trust me, I don't like GoDaddy either. But they're the most popular registrar, and I think it'd be foolish of me not include them. The market much, much larger than the subset of people like us.

Sites like these probably wouldn't exist without linking to GoDaddy.

Most visitors that use these site don't click through on the affiliate links. The few that do end up paying for the rest.

And those few that click? They use GoDaddy...

I disklike GoDaddy as much as the next guy, but if you're in the domain business you can't ignore them.

(source: I run a similar domain site)

If you don't like GoDaddy it would be nice for you to use your service to also educate users on which registar to use. By making GoDaddy the default, you give it your approval. What might be helpful is a page explaining the registrars, or simply selecting your favorite. No reason for GoDaddy to be the default if even you don't use them.
