#5It's been a few years since there's been a good Internet Death Penalty. Create some plugins or firewall rules or what have you, which people can use and which render all GoDaddy-registered properties unavailable.

#6Is there a comprehensive solution like godaddy? I've seen people talk about solutions involving stringing together registrar, DNS, SSL certs, hosting, email, etc but I (and I imagine a lot of godaddy customers) would like a single point.
In fact, I'd venture to guess that there would be strong demand for such a solution, even if it used AWS or google apps in the backend and even if it costs more than the sum of the individual pieces

Many hosting companies offer all of these services, even if they handle domain registration through another company. All of the other services are offered together by hundreds of companies.

Gandi.net is a good all in one value. Otherwise just distribute to any number of services.

The http://blog.jeffepstein.me/post/14629857835/a-step-by-step-g... link you mention needs extra attention. I just moved my final domain from godaddy to namecheap last night. I didn't have this tutorial at the time, but this is the process I used and it worked flawless. I started the process about midnight...took less than an hour of fiddling around in total...this morning, the transfer is complete and safely in namecheap's hands ;)
The reason I want people to read Jeff's article is because a year ago I did about 35 xfers from godaddy and it was not as easy as it is today. Now, I would almost call the process "painless".
