Re: “It’s Time to Give GoDaddy a Break”
#12The guy from Mashable sounds like a terrible GoDaddy fanboy. And yes, it makes perfect sense that when a company has customers that it should be trying to make happy, goes off and does something very few of them would have agreed with, they should feel the economic repercussions ( we are supposed to be a free economy.) and do not in any way deserve a break. I'll be glad when my transfer finishes.

#13Speaking of misleading, awesome link-bait title.

#14Godaddy is a scam. Fuck Godaddy. Easy to sign up. Impossible to unsubscribe. Down with Godaddy.
uhhhh, how so? Their upselling is questionable (although as long as you never select an option you'll have no problems) as it misleads "naive" consumers, but impossible to unsubscribe? I often cancel domains and other products with them, I've never had a problem. What's the problem you've had?
It's impossible to delete your account with Godaddy, that's probably what he's referring to.

I agree that GoDaddy should be given a break. Not because I like them, but because I hate internet mob bullying in general. They've been kicked to the ground by the baying mob, and have said they're sorry.

Viewed on Marco's blog, the title is a direct link to the Mashable article of the same name.

I had domains with GoDaddy and register.com. I always thought of the latter as more legit - they upsell a bit less, they have a cleaner interface, etc - they're more expensive but I was ok with that given the interface was better.
Well, when I transferred my domains from GoDaddy to DNSimple, they provided the authorisation codes immediately. There were a few hiccups along the process, but nothing that seemed deliberate.
Fortified by my success with transferring domains from evil GoDaddy, I started the process with register.com. Well, turns out they arbitrarily impose a 4-5 days delay just to get the authorisation code so that you can start the process.
Turns out GoDaddy is not the most scummy registrar.

#18Very much agree with this. It's funny how almost every blog post or comment about moving away from GoDaddy starts with 'we've been talking about moving away for a while.' Everyone was sick of their constant upsells for useless things and their terrible interface.
For me, SOPA support was really just what finally got moving away from GoDaddy up to the top of the priority list. At this point GoDaddy can say whatever they want about SOPA, I'm leaving because they have a terrible a product.

#19I've had numerous domains with godaddy over the years. I switched them due to the SOPA support as did many others, but over many years and many domains I was always happy with the company's service and (if you ignore the upselling) their customer service was always really, really good, IME.
As much as I think they brought this on themselves and don't really deserve a whole lot of pity, I do think a lot of people (some of whom probably never used godaddy and are basing their 'knowledge' on the pitchfork wielding mob) are now piling-on a bit.

I would say their user interface was designed to be a maze which is extremely difficult for the average user to figure out. Nothing was technically impossible once I found out the convoluted way to do it, but the design is no accident and many laymen just give up trying to leave or cancel.
