“It’s Time to Give GoDaddy a Break”

FWIW I've used them for SSL certs. I've had to call support a couple of times, and both times their support was outstanding... I mean surprisingly ridiculously good.

It looks like Mashable, the source of Marco's link, also uses GoDaddy:

   Registered through: Go Daddy
   Domain Name: MASHABLE.COM

Yet the author of the article, Todd Wasserman, states in the comments:

"No. I don’t know who we use, but that had no bearing on this whatsoever."

Hmmm...

Agreed. Beyond all the terrible things they've done, they suck as a registrar. I'm never using them again in favor of Name.com.

Godaddy 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?
