You already shouldn't be using GoDaddy, so there's another reason

>>pluc+v4
They're a pretty terrible registrar/host but their marketing is fantastically good. Every non-tech business owner I've met uses them. It makes me kind of sad.

>>usrn+z5
I don't get disappointed at neophytes using GoDaddy. People who know better though should know better. Nobody on here should be using GoDaddy.

Like most things it's not as simple as that. I'm a long-in-the-tooth web guy (30+ years doing this stuff) and for Legacy Reasons I use GD. I wish I didn't, but all my domains (and all my client domains) are with them. Yes I could unpick, but do I have time / inclination? No. Do I want multiple domain registrars? No.

So - yeh, agree in principle, disagree in practice.

I used to have about 50 domains there and moving everything to Cloudflare was pretty simple. Just start using it as a DNS first, which I was doing anyway.

Then the transfer process takes about 2 minutes per domain so the whole process was done in a little over an hour.

>>bright+S7
I thought Cloudflare had a deliberately manual (and therefore more secure but also more expensive and slower) process for registering domains. Has that changed?

>>dave44+U8
Registering domains is very fast. To transfer a domain Cloudflare insists that you use them for DNS, but I already do that.

For the transfer it’s just like anywhere else. Initiate the transfer, get the code from the other registrar and wait for it to go through.

That feels… slimy…
