Yeah ok, i know there’s more expensive places than GoDaddy (don’t worry, i’ll hunt the down and verbally machete them too at a later date), but GoDaddy are probably the biggest domain name registrar out there.

It now costs $9.99* for me to register a .com with GoDaddy. *Plus 20c ICANN fee – but SSHHHH, we’re not supposed to see that until billing time because it has the cool little star beside it.

Screw that – why pay more? GoDaddy’s site is a mess of fiddly little drop down menus and masses of text. Why the hell should i pay $10.19 to let them host my .com domains when i can do it for $5.99 with name.com (with free whois protection) and have less clutter and the exact same features?

As if that wasn’t enough, we also had the whole .me shenanigans in which goDaddy accepted cash from multiple people for the SAME domains – resulting in a huge cock up, refunds, people losing domains and an angry mob of webmasters who all thought they’d hit the jackpot.
