Email should include outgoing. Tipjoy uses http://authsmtp.com Google hosted email for outbound kinda stinks
I'm just about to switch to Google for mail hosting, and your comment worries me a little. What kind of trouble have people had with Google's outgoing mail servers?

I think they might just be talking about using it for mass-outbound messages from an app, not for actual human-to human messages. (Never had a problem with Gmail for my personal/work e-mail, anyway.)

I'm asking as a new startup eyeing both as potential host.

Well... I do have to make a slight UI criticism. Which would you rather see when managing your domains? http://www.godaddy.com/default.aspx or http://www.dyndns.com/ Also, I have had very good experiences with DynDNS. Support is helpful and their services are top-notch. I am always confident that I'll get someone knowledgeable at DynDNS, while my experience with GoDaddy was nowhere near as nice. Seems they have a goo…
To be honest I barely ever see the front page, so I don't think it's a useful comparison. The so-called "Total DNS Control" page that GoDaddy offers works well enough for me. Is DynDNS' control panel nicer? As far as support I'll have to defer as I haven't had any problems worth bringing up yet. I moved from Register.com some time ago and that was a breath of fresh air in so many respects.
Coming from GoDaddy, UI-wise, DynDNS are a bit nicer, but it's their support which really makes a difference.

I've had no problems with GoDaddy as registrar, and they're priced right (and that seems to be where they win most in that chart). I can't speak to their quality as a hosting provider though. Have they been screwing up as registrar for others?
If you are running a user-generated content site and you get to a large enough size, it's near certain that GoDaddy will shut off your domain. We had a very, very close call with Weebly where someone from GoDaddy called at 10am on a Saturday, didn't get through, and started shutting off the domain. If I hadn't called right back it would have been disastrous. For some reason, GoDaddy sees it as their job to police the…

s/surprising/depressing/ GoDaddy's "used car lot" salesmanship makes me loathe the company. I'm in process of transferring all my domains elsewhere.
Likewise. Have a fairly budget-price but not-so-shady registrar in mind? [edit] WTF guys, why am I being modded up? I asked a question without providing additional insight - this doesn't deserve +points.

I got tired of GoDaddy a while ago and moved all of my domains to NameCheap. They've been great, although private registrations cost a couple dollars after the first year. Edit: http://www.namecheap.com
I second namecheap. I've used them for several years and have around 30 domains registered there (including Divvyshot). It's worth paying a little more for a more intuitive interface. I've never felt afraid of being tricked into buying something I didn't want. Another suggestion: Use everydns.net for DNS. It's donation-based ( http://www.everydns.com/donate.php ), powerful, reliable, and run by David Ulevitch of open…
However I like Namecheap too (and prefer dealing with them than Enom).

Who would you recommend that does not see DMCA take-down notices as "their job"?
