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

I, personally, lost trust to all domain registrars and just moved domains to the local registrar in my country. At least I can visit their office with my government ID and talk to them face to face if the need arises. Or even sue them. Too much issues with those international companies, they treat their clients as some disposable kubernetes pods. Yes, my local registrar has lame console from 90-x, but it works anyway.

> moved domains to the local registrar in my country

can you explain what you mean by this? how do you find the "local registrar" for a company, what does that even mean?

Registrar is a company which registers domains for me. Local registrar is the company which is located in my country.
