Go Daddy, really?

I totally agree!

Having dealt with them via my past-life (IYKWIM & no, I did not work for them), they have probably close to 4 mill self-hosted WP sites ... so there are a WHOLE lotta peeps (sheeps) who don't know any better!

4 mill self hosted word press sites? You mean they actually have people who do the same thing we do, but they spy on the expiring domains and grab them as soon as they expire?
 
Think i have been fortunate with them, not had any problems (yet) although I do try to avoid them where possible
 
they are asking because they want to see how they could help you
you do not need to tell them or anything
 
I don't use Godaddy anymore. I've been too lazy to transfer them, but I will never support them financially again. Why?

1. The whole SOPA thing for starters. It doesn't matter if they changed their mind. In fact, that makes them just look stupid in my book.

2. More importantly, it takes too long for their redirects to switch. Up to 2 hours, seriously? That's a LOT of lost traffic when you're doing 301's on CPA traffic. With namecheap, it's instantaneous.

3. I'd rather pay more for the domain and get free whois protection.

4. I don't think I should have to go through 17 pages of upselling bullshit just to register a domain.
 
Someone should do this to a GoDaddy rep and post it here on BHW :D

They wanted to still your domain. Just checking to see if you where doing to use it.
 
God damnit I hate godaddy. I registered a domain with them, using a credit card and they asked me for verification so I provided it. Now, more than 70 hours later they still haven't responded so I asked them what was going on, and if they could unlock my account. They told me they needed my verification pin, but to get this verification pin I have to be able to use my account, so I told them I can't provide my pin to them and I just need them to look at my identification and now they send me this:

Due to its complex nature, your issue has been relayed to our Advanced Technical Support Team. Our most skilled technicians will be working to resolve your issue quickly and completely. You will be notified promptly upon resolution.

How fucking complex is it to look at my identification and see that it's the same person that used the fucking credit card...
 
They're just trying to be good customer service people. I agree its annoying though.
 
Im using GoDaddy since 2004 (I think). I never had a single problem, or call... The only thing I can say, some weeks ago when I called them to reset my password I was offered with some upsell, but it was one time in about 7 or 8 years!
