Godaddy has to be one of the least trustworthy domain registrars I have heard of and I am surprised that people still use them. I guess their crass commercials must be drawing in the customers.


When was the last time you saw a commercial during a football game for any other registrar?

Unless I've missed something, the answer's never. So, when Joe Public wants to register a domain, he only knows about one way to do it.

Seems like a pretty effective marketing strategy to me.


I've registered a few domains through Google Apps. At least the last time I did this GoDaddy was one of the places you might get randomly bounced to. It may have become the only place.
