They are not fine when used as a registrar. A couple of years ago they
would routinely hold entire websites hostage, based on nothing other
than frivolous spam reports. They would take your website offline and
you had to pay $300 to get it back online even if the spam report was
frivolous and irrelevant. This was not an isolated occurence, it was
common business practice.<br>
<br>
You and I compete, I send godaddy an email about your domain. Boom,
your site is gone until you call them and pay them $300. Holla!<br>
<br>
I also have a friend that's recommended godaddy who just email blasted
his customers. His customers started calling and registering with
godaddy, and one old guy at least has a customer service rep sneak a 5
year registration past the guy. And they would not refund. They
charged, and done. <br>
<br>
In this case, one good experience should not translate into a
recommendation. Godaddy has too long a history of dramatically
screwing registrants for money and continues to be unapolagetic about
it.<br>
<br>
Plus, I don't trust companies who's basic marketing premise is 'tits'.

Been using them for many years without any issues. <br>
The cost is low (at least for .com/.net/.org, haven't tried .ca).<br>
<br>
Their control panel feels "busy", and they try to upsell/cross-sell via
email<br>
newsletter. Just ignore those.<br>
<br>
Don't get their hosting. It is no good. <br>
<br>
Don't use them for DNS either.<br>
<br>
If you use them just as a registrar, they are fine.<br>
