What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

I have nothing positive to say about GoDaddy. The worst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

The worst customer service experience of my life. Been trying to fix a problem that downed my website and my email for 3 days. My business is suffering. Despite being a long time customer, GoDaddy's is refusing to override a system lockout caused by too many failed login attempts. Their response has been "nothing we can do." I've never encountered a company that is willingly causing harm to a customer's reputation and business. I was a customer for 20 years with Media Temple before it was purchased by GoDaddy. The second I get control of my domain, I will be immediately closing my account. Unbelievably, they are actually trying to sell me an alternate domain. Insanity.

What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

Honestly Nothing. These guys are rude. Just Stay AWAY Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

GoDaddy, 5 years ago use to be really good. Now I am in the process of moving ALL of my services away from GoDaddy and adding a surcharge to any of my clients that use GoDaddy. Support is rude and doesn't listen. They asked numerous times for me to send a screenshot of my issue over the phone and I explained that I need an email to send it to. They insisted I can do it over the telephone. I explained that I cannot send an image with my voice.

Their hosting is not allowing me to directly access files in the URL bar. I changed ALL permissions to full access in the file browser and FTP. If you have a WordPress site and want to upload a custom PHP file.

I explained to them that I'm trying to migrate a WordPress installation to their hosting and have a php file to extra my zip file. They suggested another free method which I tried before and explained to them I didn't work.

They then said I can PAY to have them do this for me... Yet on their website it states they offer free WordPress migrations.

The support then said I was abusive and threatened to ban me because I said "Dude".

I asked multiple times for a manager. The support agent PROMISED me that if I hang up a manager will call back. What a MISTAKE! They never did, so I waited on hold for an hour and finally got through, someone did call me back from GoDaddy but without saying a word they hung up.

I fought for 5 hours trying to get a simple support question fixed. Any other hosting company could easily look at my issue, this support agent refused to even look at the hosting in question. It's almost as if they don't have access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoDaddy Domains solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't think they are capable of solving my support questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

Buying domains is quite easy, pricing is ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

I have never written a review for anything. But I have so much time at my hands, waiting for their live customer support agent to respond that I am writing this review. I have spent 2 hours before, trying to get an answer to my question & violently shut down by rude customer service agent. Now I have spent 1 hour, trying to get help for transferring a domain I sold through Afternic (also their own platform). The customer support agent is blaming me for not following correct steps while listing my domain. Keeps sending me the link explaining how to list a domain for sale. I have sold the domain! I received the email saying that the domain is sold. Still, they are blaming me for the inability to transfer this domain. Absolutely ridiciulous situation. In total, I have wasted 3 hours of my life talking to their "support". 3 hours I will never get back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

If you want to auction your held domain names then "GoDaddy Domain Auctions" is the best place to go. Since its a addon service provided by GoDaddy itself. One of the best ways to cashin on your pre held domain names. Their subscription starts at $4.99 / year. GoDaddy has one of the highest user traffic so buying and selling of domain names is at a premium. Their interface is easy to use and one can bid of multiple domains. You can add multiple domain names on to the auction as well. They have very strong customer support which help us during the domain transition as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

I wish GoDaddy can provide some kind of notification which can notify us on certain (pre selected)domains that we would like to buy. So that we can bid early and get the benefit. Rest is nothing to dislike since GoDaddy is one the best domain hosting platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoDaddy Domains solving and how is that benefiting you?

Under GoDaddy Domain Auctions we use it to buy specific domain names which is needed to our business. Like I have used the GoDaddy Auctions to buy KadakChaii.in and KadakChaii.com. We also list out our premium domian names for autions to do quick cashin on our pre registered domain names. Since their yearly pricing is less than $5 dollars we can use their domain auction any time. Their minimum bid price is $25 dollars which can be reduced a bit. Rest is they have simple user interface, once the domain is bought the ownership is easily transferred and verified. GoDaddy has large number of userbase here in India so selling and buying of domain names is at premium and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

User-friendly interface, country-based pricing policy, comprehensive support system, and the ability to do everything that can be done on the web on a single platform. Whether you are an agency or an individual, GoDaddy offers solutions for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

Insufficient servers. There should be more server options instead of just Europe or America. For example, GoDaddy has been providing service in my country for many years but still does not have a server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoDaddy Domains solving and how is that benefiting you?

GoDaddy may have the most comprehensive range of domain extensions I've seen to date. I can easily research the domain name I want, negotiate with the domain owner through GoDaddy if it's already purchased, or get notified about new domain names that will be released.

What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

The products of Godaddy are straightforward to use. Implementation is not an issue as it is completely user-friendly. Customer support is undoubtedly great. I had over 10 domains I used this website for over 1 year. Integration is easy with go Daddy products. simple click-and-collect kind of thing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

Everything looks perfect when it comes to any product of Go Daddy. Still, the feature or search and then the page where we can bid can be enhanced for customers by adding the feature of showing us the average cost price or average bid price. to avoid any overpriced bids.

What do you like best about GoDaddy Domains?

I have found their website very easy to use. I was up and running in a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy Domains?

Some of the options with the basic webpage isn't as customizable as the pro subscription. I have a local business and there is a section for customers to book an appointment online. There is a drop-down box to select the province. It is redundant for my business and takes away from the fact that I am a small, local business. I see this as a fairly negative feature.

I needed a domain for my website and email address to be more professional. It was quick and easy to choose the domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
