Just did, but can someone please tell me how to cancel my GoDaddy account? The only KB article I can find about this on their website is either purposefully wrong, or woefully outdated.

#42I switched away a long time ago when I got a cold call from GoDaddy trying to up-sell me their hosting... when I told him I use Amazon for all my hosting the salesperson was convinced I was confused about what he was trying to sell me having never heard of Amazon Web Services.
Either way... I was stuck with some domains on auto-renew I couldn't transfer out right away but today turned out to be a good reminder that I still had those last domains to transfer. Bye Bye GoDaddy!

#43Just found out that namecheap doesn't support .name TLDs. Graah. I'm not going to deal with two registrars.

#45Everything but my .asia domains anyone know a good registrar for them

#46I'll be switching the first thing tomorrow morning.. all 100 or so of my domains. Will be spreading the word to all my internet marketing friends as well. I'm tempted to write a scraper script that finds sites registered with Godaddy (using public registration info/searching for "registered with Godaddy"), harvest emails, and tell them all about switching.
I could help with this, if you know of a site where it has lists of domains registered with godaddy let me know and consider it done, I already have an email harvester script I've been working on and can easily tweak it to do this, its multi-threaded so it can go to a lot of sites, crawl them and pull the emails in fast.

#47Nope, and have no plans on moving my domains to a different registrar

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
I certainly understand your point but the point of the poll is to find out if GoDaddy users are actually taking actions (to find out if there will be a mass exodus).
"if GoDaddy users are actually taking actions" There has been so much past idiocy from GoDaddy, that I'm surprised there are all that many HN readers left with them now anyway.
Domain transfers are a small pain in the ass, and your registrar is generally nothing more than a name and a number on a yearly bill, so past idiocy from GoDaddy doesn't really mean much unless it was offensive enough to motivate you to do some work to switch, and since I've rarely even been to their website since my initial registrations, it just never occurred to me.
I stopped registering new domains with GoDaddy several years ago, but until today, I didn't bother switching my old ones away from them (I had maybe a dozen there, and several dozen elsewhere). Now I have.
