Moved their domains over after the Squarespace acquisition and found the transfer simple: request it, wait out the lock, then follow the instructions.

Was charged for a domain they never ordered; GoDaddy said a staff member with account access made the purchase and gave no clear explanation of how.

Has used GoDaddy for over 12 years and feels it declined; contact-form emails stopped reaching their inbox and GoDaddy branding is on their emails.

My domains have sat at Gandi since around 2009. Back then the mailboxes came free with each domain and renewals were never something I thought about. Since the company was bought, both changed. Mail became a paid add-on, so I moved it to another provider and only kept the free forwarding, and my .com renewals now cost more than three times what I pay at Porkbun. The DNS editor is still clean and I can't remember a single outage. Twelve domains moved so far, the rest will go as they come up for renewal.

Calls starting a website with GoDaddy the worst decision of their life.

During GoDaddy's certificate mass revocation, certificates had 3 hours or even negative warning, and GoDaddy's delegation settings were a joke.

Reddit · r/sysadmin · 19 days ago

GoDaddy-backed certificates were mass revoked with only 3 hours notice at 2am on some and no notice on others, forcing rushed renewals.

GoDaddy revocation emails arrived at 20:30 CET and 80 certificates had to be reissued overnight.

GoDaddy gave a generic ChatGPT-style answer that would have cost the company its data during an outgoing migration.

During the GoDaddy certificate mass revocation, communication was generic, the portal did not show affected certs, support was clueless and Europeans got 3-4 hours notice.

Needed nearly four hours on the phone with GoDaddy support to renew an OV certificate after the revocation purge.

Reddit · r/sysadmin · 22 days ago

GoDaddy phone support transferred the caller and a 65 minute wait ended with no help because a customer ID was needed.

All certificates went untrusted after hours during the revocation and GoDaddy's cert manager was crawling.

Accounts get locked for identity confirmation, taking 3-4 days and public pleas to get a human to review documents, with no way to upload them early.

Super happy since moving from Namecheap to Porkbun a couple of years ago, only missing an iOS app.

Ten years with Namecheap with stellar support until recent months, when renewing a basic hosting plan went badly and they migrated sites to company-managed cloud servers.

Cloudflare sells domains at cost, about 10-11 dollars for a .com.

Porkbun made a mistake with their domain, admitted it and renewed it free for three years.

Namecheap disabled a domain with 20k user sites over an outdated abuse report with no prior notice; it came back quickly once they answered the email.

Has been with Namecheap for 15 years with only good experiences.

Reddit · r/sysadmin · 25 days ago

A change to Namecheap’s renewal process required re-enabling auto-renewal on a domain they had auto-renewed for a decade; it lapsed and was auctioned off with the profits kept.

Reddit · r/sysadmin · 25 days ago

Years ago one Namecheap email in spam led to everything being disabled in 72 hours; answering the info request unlocked the account and they transferred out.

Says Porkbun is fine but demands ID verification if the account is created over a VPN with no way around it.

Reddit · r/sysadmin · 25 days ago

Has been with Porkbun since Google domains closed, with no issues and 7-8 domains, pairing it with Proton email and GitHub pages.
