I tried it once as well, maybe ten years ago. The annoying thing not yet mentioned is that it tries to upsell you at every step. You quickly realize that steps have been added for additional upsell opportunities.

Then the "elephant shooter" drama happened and I moved to namecheap and didn't look back. Was a breath of fresh air in comparison.

I didn't see a way to delete my gd account, so think it is still there. Hope my data didn't get out again. :doh:

I turn it into a game. I love the feeling of having cheated their systems and cleverly opting out of all the up-sells. I am forced to use GoDaddy because I have profitable blogs and e-commerce stores which would be a holy war trying to migrate all that to other services. It's do-able, but would be a headache and a half.

Ever more reason to migrate them, imo.

The only thing that annoys me from Namecheap is that their API isn't that good. You can't just update a single record, you have to update the entire zone.

Updating the entire zone just to automatically set a verification token (like for Let's Encrypt) is too risky.

The what drama?
