alt Hacker NewsWith all the publicity GoDaddy has received over the last 10 years or so, I wonder why anybody reasonable would deal with them any more. Maybe the prices are irresistibly low, IDK.

They show up as the #2 ad spot when you search "register a domain" and most people don't know any better.
they are not inexplicably low -- any rational person sees that any low prices are one year intro deals that revert to excessive after the first year.
We have always hated working with them, and have moved all clients to cloudflare.
The bad publicity is all in tech spaces and they do ads IRL.
What are the good alternatives? In domain business, everyone like a service which has lived for decades. GoDaddy being the one helps a lot.
I love Cloudflare for my .com domains but they don’t support a lot of TLDs till date.
I was done with them the day I knew their founder and CEO bribed corrupt African governments to go kill elephants, pose for pictures and share them with family and friends. I hunt and fish, but there’s something particularly evil about spending a fortune to abuse broken systems in poor nations to go after one of the most social species on earth, which are also known for having a strong awareness of death.
