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

Had a horrendous experience with NameCheap where they basically stole my domain and some of my money after freezing my account and insisting i do a cam show with my credit card on some random site (not their domain) that had privacy guard up.. They are also not so 'cheap' any more. I'm using NameSilo and PorkBun, so far not bad.
