Rodolfo Gonzalez (@rudy4world) reported@GoDaddy Three days trying to assign one Microsoft 365 seat. GoDaddy deleted the account, recreated it with a typo, put the wrong license on the wrong domain. A 10-minute job wasted three full days. You sell SERVICE, not a product —

TJ | Aftermath Z: Red Pine Lake 🏕🧟♂️ (@AftermathZGame) reported@OutoftheboxP @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp Basically I got the website looking as I wanted and turned off auto renew for just the marketing package. The package fees were very high and after being overcharged previously I wanted a break. they charged me anyway so I raised a complaint as I turned off renewal. I asked them before the refund went through if I would still have what I had already build and they said yes and that I still owned the domain. I check my site a few minutes later and it was gone, everything. I got in touch with support again and they checked after I explained what happened, and said they would return it and it would take 90 minutes. I checked back an hour later, same chat open. Yet the agent was someone new and they had no idea what was going on. They then checked the wrong thing and said I would need to pay for a year upfront to get it back up and they would design it... a site I made they would now design having never seen it. So after that 180 and me showing them where I was told I would keep it and that it would be restored they lowered the amount by about 5 dollars and sent parts of the transcript to help their argument whilst leaving out the important parts. They acknowledge I was told the wrong info but that's it, they don't want to make it right. I accept I could have asked for more clearer info but I was already flustered at now waiting a week for a refund and it being evening.

John Nigroᵍᵐ (@jn) reported from New Braunfels, Texas@Darcymason Ill add.. not an open source CMS or static html, or similar, NOT YOUR CONTENT. Dont RENT your own content from piece of **** wix, godaddy, shopify, showit, etc. It is a pain in the *** to get it off their walled gardens

Ned Dwyer (@nedwin) reportedHad a few hours on Sunday so I tried vibe-coding Qualtrics. Honestly, incredible. Should I ship it? Before my time at GoDaddy, the company built their own version of Microsoft Word. They killed it within a few years. Just because you can build all this stuff should you? Are you going to maintain it? Who's going to fix it at 10pm on a Sunday night? What are you going to be the best at?
-
Andre Barber (@andrebarber) reported@GoDaddy trying to modify user account information should not be as difficult as applying for a CIA job! smh. Really - you need my i.d. - after over 15 years of being a customer?

Dusty Candland (@candland) reported@austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!

Dami Dina (@DamiDina) reported@pratiknagariya i would never trust godaddy. why not use cloudflare. you should upgrade your brand trust
-
WP Websites (@WebsitesWp) reported@TTrimoreau None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI

Generation Infinity (@Genfinity) reported🌐 GoDaddy and HOL Propose Open Standards for AI Agent Identity on Hedera. GoDaddy manages millions of domains. We sat down with them and HOL to break down the identity layer for the agentic economy: • ANS: verifiable identity layer for AI agents • HCS-14: universal agentic ID across registries and chains • HCS-27: ANS checkpoints anchored on Hedera, publicly verifiable • Fractions of a penny per transaction on Hedera • Open standards: IETF + Linux Foundation + LF Decentralized Trust "DNS tells you where the agent is. Hedera proves where the registry stood and went." The SSL of the agentic internet is being built. GoDaddy and HOL are orchestrating it. Hedera technology is verifying. @GoDaddy | @HashgraphOnline | @Hedera Full Interview:

rakeshdrai (@rakeshdrai) reported@GoDaddy_India @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy I renewed my SSL cert for the hosting space in Jan 26. Few days back the SSL started showing privacy error. I spent over 2 hours on the 26/04/2026 with a support agent trying to sort it. Was told it will be done in 24 hours. Still no resolve.

Veena Prashanth (@smartquizbuild) reportedNo faster way to lose trust than a GoDaddy style "pre-checked order bump"! An order bump should make your customer go "oh nice, yes I want that too." Not "wait, why am I being charged for this?" 🤨
-
mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported@GoDaddyHelp make a formal complaint about setting up domain & emails with tech issues at godaddy’s end . This was followed by hours of fake chat help, drop calls, lies & email contacts who don’t do anything. I’ve wasted many hours. I want an investigation & compensation
-
Marcus Anthony Cyganiak (@MarcusAnthony) reported@canspace_ca Proud to be a customer of CanSpace, upon finally switching over from GoDaddy last year. Not sure what took me so long, but the “51st state” rhetoric definitely pushed me into devising as much of a Canadian/European tech stack as I possibly can.
-
🔥Sven ☠ 2157🔥 (@Sven2157) reportedI have several website issues today, since I switched to @Namecheap from @GoDaddy & GLAD I DID! Took less than 5 min to assess the issue with NC. GD would have me on hold for 1-4 hours, AND STILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Bob Parsons would be ashamed! Global CPanel/WHM outage.

Jake (@jakeh2792) reportedList of customer support run by AI which I can say is faster and better than the humans: First place: @GoDaddy Close second: @InstantlyAI I''ll continue to expand.
-
Herman (@hermanschutte) reportedWent on to @GoDaddy for the first time in a long while today to disable some domain auto renewals. What an absolute **** show. When did GoDaddy become completely unusable? You have to navigate 10 pages and dodge a thousand upsells just to perform the most basic of tasks?
-
Oskar Kalbarczyk (@KalbarczykDev) reported@hridoyreh **** GoDaddy
-
John Nigroᵍᵐ (@jn) reported@Darcymason I think the lesson is do not build your business/persona/whatever on a platform that can pull the rug on you in any way. That includes ****** domain registrars known as godaddy and any entity owned by newfold digital (network solutions and their 1500 shell registrars)

shan (@shan86744) reported@GoDaddyHelp can i just say your chat advisors are pretty useles.. why does me reporting a scam site involve me having to give u my customer no...?
