I've heard numerous horror stories about GoDaddy. Avoid them at all costs.

Avoid GoDaddy Posted Feb 1, 2007 17:23 UTC (Thu) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] Can anyone post good, inexpensive alternatives? I loathe Godaddy's entire used-car-salesman approach but they are 1/2 the price of the next-most-inexpensive, good registrar that I know of. It doesn't take too many domains before that really starts to add up. (http://nodaddy.com/#alternatives shows Moniker and NameSecure are close in price; any good?)
Since Godaddy general counsel Christine Jones is demonstrating a pretty serious lack of understanding of the law and ethics, I think I'd like to start moving my domains elsewhere. Ms. Jones, it's one thing to make a mistake; it's quite another thing to make stuff up ("we gave him an hour") to try to bolster an already untenable position.

I use itsyourdomain.com (link gives Netcraft's "What's that site running?" results). There is a list of ICANN Accredited Registrars. Incidentally, godaddy.com runs "Windows Server 2003" and "Microsoft-IIS/6.0", either of which is sufficient reason for me to avoid them, even if they weren't so ready to engage in censorship to appease corporate interests.

Avoid GoDaddy Posted Feb 5, 2007 2:53 UTC (Mon) by himi (guest, #340) [Link] I can second that recommendation - I don't know that they can compare on cost with the ultimate in cut-price registrars, but I've been using them for years with no issues at all.
As a bonus, you get all your communications from them in both English /and/ French ;-)
