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.

Is Namecheap better?

My domains are currently split between the two

Might as well move my stuff over if it means avoiding things like this

Namecheap also goes through user searches to pick up domains for their premium offerings, at least 10 years ago. Not actually sure where it’s ”safe” to search for free domains when you are still undecided.
