Ah, good to know. Though I guess GoDaddy with a better admin panel wouldn't be the worst thing. Looks like they also have free whois privacy.

Yes, they would still be the worst thing! I know, I used to use Godaddy, for my sins.

Strike one: I messaged their support asking when they'd get a usability expert to look at their awful interface. Response was basically "get used to it". So don't expect it ever to change.

Strike two: the maddeningly pervasive upselling. Wading through 500KB pages of desperate attempts to sell you hosting, SSL certs, and steak knives sapped most of my will to live.

Strike three: Trying to spin hunting a endangered species in a corrupt banana republic as a heroic and selfless deed made me vomit.

YOU'RE OUT, GODADDY! And I feel so much cleaner now my domains are with Namecheap.
