I just remember their commercials from back in the day. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com 16 points 3 years ago (2 children) Please don't use GoDaddy.

Fuck those guys!

What a godawful company they were to deal with back in the day. Loved it when their monopoly over domain name registration was cancelled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Poggervania@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Oh, they’re still a bitch today. Been in the process of moving my work’s domains off of them over to Porkbun for cost-savings and the peace-of-mind of not having to deal with them. Like, they apparently switched from offering more expensive Windows webhosting over to cheaper Unix webhosting - but because we signed up for the Windows servers for webhosting, they’ve been charging the company $175 a month for the past couple of years and never bothered to tell anybody about it until I recently asked about it and demanded that they lower the cost they’ve been charging us because they can’t do refunds :) Also they nickel-and-dime the shit outta their customers - like WHOIS privacy is $13 a year per domain with Network Solutions while it’s free on others, including GoDaddy. GoDaddy might be shit, but I sincerely hope every single person who works at Network Solutions will get fucked by a rake. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com 1 point 3 years ago A sharp metal garden rake to boot.
