I received a refund after I made a mistake. They even called me about my mistake! That is the first company I ever seen do this. Ya I emailed them about the problem but they called by themselves to give me a refund and they said to come back later since my Domain is not old enough yet. Since they did this and made me so happy that I did not lose my 7 dollars and an extra about $7 (to transfer my domain) I decided that I owed them and I should tell the world about them! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

I believe go daddy reviews the searches for domain names, and once a customer types it in the claim ownership only to jack up the price and try and re-sell it to you for a markup. Also, www.godaddyisascam.com is available for purchase, but they would not list it as available. Other domain name providers did.

Godaddy doesn't have tech support (know nothing)! I buy the email for 5 users. When I login in China or Hong Kong, It loads for 5 minutes without any information come out. It has no problem to login in USA. I called to their tech support. They just told me they don't know what's happen either. You buy an email plan but you can't login. Is it useless? I plan to change back to yahoo server but it has to wait 60 days if the domain name is new. Wasting my money!!!!!!

The support is terrible,
I have a paid hosting account and it was suddenly disabled to enable the account again was not possible and godaddy support just answered me after numerous mail send to them with the link to the help page how to set up an account.
They are unwilling to help a loyal customer

I've been with GoDaddy since 2006. I have 104 domain names hosted or parked with them.
Their website interface is extremely confusing to me, especially if I haven't used it for a month so I forget.
However, they make up for it by providing the best telephone support of any company I've ever dealt with.
1) They are Americans, and most speak clearly and in normal terms, not Geek.
2) Those that do speak Geek don't usually mind when you ask for a clearer explanation
3) The Customer service people on the phone don't pressure you to hurry up, or act exasperated when you ask questions which are surely way below their level of learning.
4) I frequently call with one question but think of others while on the line with them. They always take time to answer every question to my satisfaction.
5) I've called GoDaddy's support probably 100 times and I've only had two bad experiences. When I did, I just ended the call, and called right back in order to get a different person. Works every time! :)
6) Did I mention their phone bank is in the USA?
I have two major complaints.
1) The admin side of my GoDaddy account runs reallllly slowwwwwly. Tech support tells me it's because I have 104 domain names. Seems to me they should fix that for me. I spend a lot of money there.
2) Their admin pages time out way too fast! I do a million things a day, and so if I'm working on a website then a customer comes in or calls in, or if I have to search for graphics on my hard drive, I have to ignore the admin page for 10-30 minutes. When I come back, it's logged itself out! I want a 60-minute timeout allowance.
Now, I do have a small ecommerce site hosted with GoDaddy and I have not noticed it running slowly, even though my admin side does.
I should note that their ecommerce software is simple, and looks good (because I used one of their templates), but doesn't allow a lot of options like good control over coupons. It's basic, but doesn't require the learning curve of something like Miva Merchant.
I recommend GoDaddy very highly--especially to people who are not highly tech-savvy.

The price for bare-bones domain hosting is actually $9.63 or more after one year.
The website is confusing and web forms appear designed to disorient the user and upsell more product at every stage of a process.
When you makes changes to your profile you're locked in for 60 days (apparently you agree to this on in one of 3 links containing legal information).
This means that if you make changes to your contact information in order to facilitate a transfer of an expiring domain to a cheaper and/or better service you end up having to pay GoDaddy an additional year of service.

godaddy is set up to confusing and complicated. It is extremely difficult to get assistance for refunds (im still trying to get money back from them) they want you to sign up for a cheap website and then forget that you are paying them. I am very frustrated and disappointed with their interface and their service,and I will be moving my sites elsewhere ASAP.

I have been with godaddy for couples months and like the features they offers but I’m now more or less satisfied with page load times.

It’s difficult to express in words just how bad this outfit is. There are 2 main problems: (1) the site is excruciatingly slow; (2) when there are problems (and trust me, there will be) their technical support is slow, incompetent, unhelpful and complacent. You can be without your site for weeks. Avoid at all costs. I will move as soon as I can choose a new host.
