GoDaddy is a well-documented garbage fire. I used them once, then switched to Namecheap and I've never looked back.

> is a well-documented garbage fire

as I asked above, can you elaborate this? I am not aware at all

A particularly egregious example is "Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506303

>>mkl95+v5
uh, but I see there is a clear response cited there, too https://www.godaddy.com/garage/godaddy-felons-io-unregistere...

anything else?

Namecheap locked my free DNS account for “security” reasons, and told me to contact them to unlock it. After contacting them, they advised me to open a new account. All this on a service that doesn’t let users export their data.

Perhaps they aren’t as terrible in their non-free offerings, but I doubt it.

All the way back to their Danica Patrick days they’ve been more focused on the bottom of the market (non technical users who don’t know better) than in providing a good product.

I was using NameCheap but found Porkbun is less expensive and has an easier website.

I had never heard of Porkbun, so thank you for that info.
