GoDaddy is really a dishonest company. Please do yourself a favor and avoid them. Things I've personally experienced:

* The purchase of webfaction w/ a promise to migrate sites to a new host. They promised for over a year to do this migration and then 30 days before shutdown told me they could not migrate and to figure it out.

* Domain name sniping. Never ever use godaddy to search to find a domain. They will just steal anything you search for if you don't immediately claim it.

The Webfaction situation was so weird. You have a very customizable, powerful, idiosyncratic shared hosting service that's going to be basically impossible to migrate to any other hosting provider. And it gets bought by GoDaddy of all people? And the plan is to migrate users to normal GoDaddy shared hosting? I wonder if they gained even a single user from that purchase. For me, the idea of switching to GoDaddy was a complete non-starter.
