GoDaddy proved themselves corrupt forever ago, grabbing domains their customers didn't pay for in time and then auctioning them back to those customers for massive markups. There's a litany of terrible things they've done.

My main domain is still with nic.ddn.mil / rs.internic.net … i.e the travesty of itself today, networksolutions, which once had the ethics to only give one domain name to each physical site so as to make sure future generations could have them. That fled the moment some pharm company attempted to buy about 90 domains at one and the greed set in. But the same process they failed to improved for a decade or two after getting an income stream is still considered more reliable that GoDaddy.

GoDaddy is corrupt, the joke everyone already knew who was in the know.
