GoDaddy Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ian Carter (@WAHomesRE) reportedDue to another issue with @GoDaddy my website is down. Time to move to a Wordpress site I think.

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedBefore 1983, the entire internet was a single text file. If you wanted a domain name, you didn't buy it on GoDaddy. You emailed a team at SRI. They manually edited HOSTS.TXT, and every computer on earth had to download the update to know you existed. The timeline thinks "decentralization" was invented by crypto founders in 2009. It was actually invented by Paul Mockapetris in 1983 because the internet was literally about to crash a text editor. DNS didn't just solve a bandwidth problem. It solved a structural vulnerability. It took the ultimate single point of failure and turned it into the greatest hierarchical, fault-tolerant database in human history. We spend all day arguing about autonomous AI agents and quantum encryption. We forget that the entire $100 trillion global digital economy only exists because 40 years ago, engineers realized you can't run a civilization on a manually updated spreadsheet.

Claff (@claff23) reported@gregisenberg I exited my productized service to GoDaddy back in 2016 and since then have helped dozens of founders build their own, making millions in profit. Everything you've said is correct, except 1) the multiple for that revenue range is lower 2) software's moat is shrinking. Doable iykh
-
Ci Corp Africa (@CiCorpAfrica) reported@booleanbeyondIN Namecheap because we have a partnership, the support is much better than the other 2... Though hostinger and godaddy are supported on our systems too....
-
Adomainer (@Azmaldomainer) reported@duudcom I'm facing a similar issue on the @GoDaddy registration path.
-
John Nigroᵍᵐ (@jn) reported@rdce80 @GoDaddy I no longer trust godaddy with anything. I have about 500 domains there. Switching to porkbun. They have proven, again and again, to be either, incompetent, at best, or full on dark pattern horrible. I assume sheer incompetence. Broken website, vendor lock, Broken products
-
vx-underground (@vxunderground) reported@speeYee GoDaddy is a domain provider who will react quickly with a takedown request and work with cybersecurity companies in events like this. I would have thought they would choose a domain provider who didn't give a **** or was slower to work with
-
dilaraegelicamatölyesi (@dilaraegeli) reportedDear Aman Bhuari, I am writing to formally express my concern and frustration regarding a serious issue that remains unresolved by your GoDaddy team. Due to a clear security vulnerability on your platform an unauthorized third party has used my credit card information++@sh0kunin
-
Sharon Luft (@sharonluft) reportedSpent four hours on hold with @GoDaddyHelp. Two hours last week. The errors are serious, then they disconnected, no case number. This is unacceptable.
-
Diane DiResta (@speakingpro) reportedMy email is up and running again. What a relief! The problem was between Outlook and GoDaddy.
-
My Parent Voice (@myparentvoice) reported@GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed in this company. Annual revenue of 5 BILLION and refuses to refund me on a website I started never used because I missed refund window by 2 days. I won’t be using them in the future.
-
Johnny Hollywood (@johnnyh0llywood) reportedEvery time I buy a domain from Godaddy I swear I’m never using Godaddy again, and yet here I am, waiting dumbly for the transfer lock to expire
-
Yukta Singh (@yukta90) reported@BigRock i never faced agent issue with my earlier domain, hostinger or godaddy. You all have some seriois issues with agents and webmail. I need a call back from the backend team to give me answers to the problems i’m facing with webmail also i want to complain about the agent.
-
LeiLani Cauthen (@leilanicauthen) reported@TechLayoffLover I’m in a domain defederation grey zone issue between GoDaddy and MS so we can be Oath2 compliant. They keep asking my time zone and never call because they are 11.5 hours ahead. In India. I’m about ready get lawyers. This O2 thing has thousands of companies in stalled production.
-
Ishmilly (@ishmilly) reportedGodaddy can still sell domain names in a secondary marketplace without made up values. The current appraisal system used by GoDaddy is broken, lacks transparency & borderline deceptive. Dump it @godaddy you have great crude oil but you are processing a toxic product. Fix it
-
DataCube (@datacubecom) reported@GenesisNames @GoDaddy I use the same payment methods every month, for thousands of dollars when it comes to paying for renewal fees. No issue with that. @GoDaddy decided to all of a sudden have an issue.
-
Colorway Collective a Longarm Quilting Service (@Longarmer) reported@GoDaddyHelp @rajeshbluegrass What is taking so long on this issue
-
My Parent Voice (@myparentvoice) reported@GoDaddy I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with godaddy. 5 BILLION dollar Company won’t refund me for a website I started never completed and don’t use. Missed refund window By 2 days
-
DaveX (@GoDaveX) reported@Castello_Bros @ishmilly @GoDaddy The problem I see is the influence versus education. I don't need my brokers influence on price. I need my brokers educating buyers on free market pricing and the buyers options.
-
Castello Brothers (@Castello_Bros) reported@ishmilly @GoDaveX @GoDaddy Magical new system? Hardly. Ask ChatGPT about the value of any of your names. What you’ll see is some degree of accuracy with an analysis. If GoDaddy even does that, I’ll never mention online appraisals again.

Markatier (@Markatier) reportedCloudflare and GoDaddy just gave 20 million small businesses a kill switch for AI agents accessing their sites. The web is getting regulated from the bottom up. And most brand accounts are still posting about Monday motivation. Here's the real story: AI isn't just reshaping web traffic - it's reshaping the content race. Every major partnership, every industry shift, every breaking deal is a content opportunity that expires within hours. The brands that win aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones who can turn a live news signal into a published, on-brand post before the algorithm moves on. That's not hustle. That's infrastructure. Most social teams are still copy-pasting headlines into a doc, briefing a writer, waiting for approvals, and posting 48 hours late. By then, the engagement window is closed and some other account already owns the conversation. CONTENT THAT MISSES THE MOMENT DOESN'T JUST UNDERPERFORM - IT SIGNALS TO YOUR AUDIENCE THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS ONE STEP BEHIND. Markatier flips this. We take trending news - exactly the kind of story Adweek is covering right now with the Cloudflare-GoDaddy partnership - and transform it into high-fidelity, on-brand posts across every platform using curated AI models built for different tones and strategies. No brief. No bottleneck. No delay. Elite Strategist for the polished LinkedIn take. Viral/Rant King for the X post that actually gets quoted. Precision Pro when you need the argument watertight. The Cloudflare-GoDaddy deal is about controlling which AI can access your world. Markatier is about making sure your brand is the AI that shows up in your audience's feed first. If you're still treating content as a creative task instead of a distribution race, what's your actual plan when a competitor posts faster and smarter than your whole team combined?

dilaraegelicamatölyesi (@dilaraegeli) reported++ Please treat this matter with urgency. I trust that GoDaddy will take responsibility and resolve this issue without further delay.@sh0kunin @GoDaddy
-
John Nigroᵍᵐ (@jn) reported@afternic You added folders. Instead of fixing your piece of **** products and services, you add folders. Fire @sh0kunin Your company has gone to complete and utter ****. Your main godaddy website has so many fundmantal issues. I report them and you show me a FAQ.
-
Mr. Rob (@rjaltamar) reported@GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp I've been locked out of my domains for over a month just because my phone broke and I can't receive MFA code. I have my login credentials, I reply from the same domains I purchased, I've called, opened 6 tickts and NOTHING. Is ths how U treat your customers?
-
Emily Hartstone (@Empromo_hart) reported@YashHustle_22 I've had great experience with Namecheap after moving from GoDaddy who ripped me off for years no matter how many times I caught them and told them lol. Bluehost isn't bad either, but namecheap made email easy as well if needed. 5min setup for all.
-
DomainDan (@DomainDan) reported@ArtenaPro @GoDaddy I bought a domain on go daddy last month and I honestly struggled to navigate to the final page . Almost gave up. I’ve been in IT for 20 years and am a domain investor . Heaven help the average Joe buy one !!
-
HC Sports Management (@HCSportsManage) reportedDo to a hosting issue with @GoDaddy our website is currently down. waiting on an answer
-
Tara Well PhD (@tarawell88) reported@GoDaddyHelp I have been trying to reach a supervisor for help with an erroneous billing problem - you keep billing me $1600 every month despite me having cancelled my 5-year auto-renewal and switched to monthly payments - I call every month and you keep trying to bill after you say it has been solved PLEASE HELP!!!
-
Dr. Venuz 🧪 (@thesirenofsoul) reportedY’all do not use @GoDaddy omg. I rue the day. Like 4 days of talking to support trying to get a basic issue resolved. Thought y’all was legit. This is a mess. Seem to be more concerned with pushing AI on u & selling more things than any sense in working. @GoDaddyHelp

Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.
