1. PAYING To Privatize Your Domain!
When a registrar privatizes your name, they basically make it so when someone types in your domain name (example.com) into a whois search, it doesn't give them all of your info and your name, it instead gives them the info of your registrar. This is pretty standard and provides an important level of protection to customers who want to remain private. Go Daddy charges for this service, on top of what you just payed for your domain.... What?! No other registrar charges for this service, what are they possibly thinking?
2. Website Tonight
If you are a website developer, an amateur website builder, or have ever touched a simple program like Wix or Weebly, you've worked on a more complex engine than Website Tonight. From a company who claims to be the best in every single endeavor in the interwebs, they have a pretty ****ty website builder.
3. Unlimited Bandwidth Scam
Now, you can't discredit Go Daddy for this... too much. This is a scam that most registrars attempt to pull, you should just expect a lot more from Go Daddy, a giant Superbowl ad-rolling company.
Basically, it goes like this:
Bandwidth= How much space you have on your site. How much content viewers can load each month. If you have a page that loads 1G of data and you only have 10G a month of bandwidth, you can only have 10 people come to your website. (God knows what you possibly have on that page to make it load a gig.) Anyway, Go Daddy tells you, "UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH, WOOOHOO! GO NUTS!" No. Don't go nuts. Because there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, that's impossible. If that was true, Microsoft would host their website with Go Daddy. They give you a very minimal amount of bandwidth under the impression you won't go over that. If you do go over it, Go Daddy shuts you down. It's all in the very, very, fine print Go Daddy is excellent at hiding.
4. Their Customer Support
I'm not even going to explain this one. I don't need to rant about horribly, terrible, customer support for you all to understand how bad Go Daddy's outsourced support is. Just see my Comcast rant, it's equally as bad.
The moral of the story? Do all your registrar work at 1&1.
