peyton_mcmanus (@peyton_mcmanus) reportedCurious if anyone has encountered DNS propagation issues between @GoDaddy and @FidiumFiber. I have 2 apps that are both now failing with correct DNS resolution - but they are fine when I hotspot from my phone or connect on a comcast (or other) network.

Nancy Beckley (@NancyBeckley) reported@GoDaddyHelp Still need help with an account issue.

Wiktor Poltorak (@wiktorpoltorak) reported@Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddy’s higher prices get you a better experience overall but NO! Namecheap is a good deal and it has great customer EXP. Have been working with them for several yrs now.

Senior CRUD Monkey (@nvictorme) reported@Samaytwt Replace GoDaddy with Porkbun on that image and you're good. GoDaddy should NEVER be an option.

Crazy Like A Fox (@relhciek) reported@GoDaddy still no responses to my tech support inquiries. Yet you have no problem running automatic renewals. I see where your priorities are.

Ifiok Nkem (@ifioknkem) reportedPrompt 6. Find a domain with Godaddy Use the GoDaddy MCP connector to search for available domain names for [business/project name]. I want domain names that feel professional, memorable, short, easy to spell, and suitable for the brand. Avoid names that are too long, confusing, childish, or difficult to say out loud. Suggest at least 10 available domain name options. For each one, explain why it works, what type of brand it suits, and whether it feels premium, simple, modern, or creative. Once I choose the best domain name, help me buy it through GoDaddy and prepare it to connect to my website.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedFounders learn what a pending-delete window is the hard way — by losing. Built Claimdrop to fix that. It watches every drop across GoDaddy, DropCatch, SnapNames, and more, scores matches for defensive brand value, and auto-bids within budget. One daily email. Live soon.

Shawn Jooste 🤟🏼 (@shawnjooste) reportedFlip, @GoDaddy is a monumentally poor experience.

Thesidman7 (@thesidman7) reported@charlietlamb namecheap, but now i am thinking that godaddy isn't that bad
-
Flavio Li Volsi (@flaviolivolsi) reported@Samaytwt Someone should buy godaddy just to shut it down
-
Diego Gallovich (@reachdiego) reported@charlietlamb Been buying on godaddy since I can remember and I am just not down to either have two different domain registrars or pay the transfer fees. My solution ended up being to continue to buy on godaddy, and I use GCP’s DNS zones. Not justifying that I still buy on godaddy but kinda

LiebeIst DasGesetz (@localauslander) reported@JamesWelbes I happen to have a DB of every domain ever registered and what sitebuilder/cms etc their running. SOO tempted to email every godaddy customer to literally upgrade to anything else, wordpress, squarespace, shopify. Godaddys just got marketing but the builder is soooo bad
-
Porkbun (@Porkbun) reportedTechnically this activity of "front running" is illegal and I do trust that any registrar worth anything follows the domain laws from ICANN (that includes our frenemies at GoDaddy). That said, there is a lot of confusion and grey area in our industry. Porkbun customers have felt burned, too, to be sure, but we really do try to be customer-centric and we take a hard look whenever we hear someone saying we are not.

Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reportedAs some of you know I've been battling a hacker on a few servers of ours (all SEO test websites, no clients) for several weeks now. We ultimately discovered the attacker infiltrated the server after a publicly disclosed @cPanel exploit in April. The servers are all at GoDaddy and were all patched 1 to 2 hours AFTER the hacker got in and made fake reseller accounts with full privileges and API tokens. We've fixed this but the attacker keeps getting back in on a routine basis that makes it appear the root server has been compromised. This is out of our depth. When we ask @GoDaddy to help us fix this they told us it wasn't their fault and are telling us to instead purchase new VPS servers, back up the servers and move them over to the new VPS - the problem is that: 1. GoDaddy never alerted us to this compromise or potential exploit, we had to find it on our own. 2. If we did what they ask, we would move the exploit to the new server. The only real way to fix this is to clean each site one by one and move them to a new server. We are talking hundreds of websites. It would take months to complete, all while the attacks can gain full server root access at any moment and delete anything they want.

Mohau Mofokeng (@MohauMophokeng) reportedHi. I reached out for my Domain Reactivation. I paid the Redemption fee and renewal fee. Its been 13 days now, & my domain is still down. Everytime I call in, I'm told my case is being escalated. Here's the most recent case No: 968441. Please assist. @GoDaddy

Miles | Creative Developer (@haven53521) reportedBeen tryna buy Domain on @GoDaddy with Opay virtual card and it's not saving at all And we all know the problem and issue with @PayPal and Nigerians
-
Crazy Like A Fox (@relhciek) reported@GoDaddyHelp I've already done that with no legitimate responses besides 'we'll look into it and get back to you'. No one ever gets back to me and the problems persist. You're wasting my time and costing me money. Shame on you.

John Nigroᵍᵐ (@jn) reported@Aladey In my opinion, the slow trickle of anti-godaddy sentiment, in addition to the stealth T&C anti-consumer changes, is a sign of desperation. 5 years they will be a newfold digital landing page. They did it to register-com, who deserved it, out of the same arrogance and desperation.

Ethan 🛸 (@ethanethers) reportedI built @trustTLD for two main reasons 1. it was fun to build, first public SaaS product. Huge inspiration to build and ship from @marclou and @robj3d3 2. buying premium / private domains can be a huge pain The truth is, most domain owners have unrealistic expectations, usually around the true value of their domain. Even more irritating is how difficult it is to actually get in touch with a private seller. Take this example, if you use the GoDaddy broker service and want to contact the owner of a parked taken domain, you have to spend $99.99 (non-refundable btw) to communicate with them. Then a 20% commission on the sale price of the domain, all while communicating with the agent from GoDaddy. For a $10,000 domain acquisition that’s $2,100. Not to mention if the buyer doesn’t respond (majority of the time), you’re still out a $100 and your time. With TrustTLD, domains are verified directly by the seller, and offers can be sent and received, between sellers/buyers directly and privately. This would cost the buyer nothing but transfer fees (<$12). From there, the sale/transfer settles privately between the buyer and seller (full discretion on escrow to close the deal). Other domain acquisition options include auctions and expired listings. Much of these feel inconsistent and scattered, and can many times end with no acquisition. Aside from the domains with an owner that hasn’t surfaced on Earth in last 10 years, we are creating a more direct channel for domain buyers and sellers to verify, communicate, and acquire. TLDR; we make buying and selling premium domains simple

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost small-town Arkansas businesses are still running GoDaddy templates with the wrong area code. Built Possumhaw Sites to fix that. Custom websites for gas stations, diners, bait shops — real local SEO, one consistent identity, a domain the owner owns.

app.k3vl4r.com (@k3vl4rtr4d3z) reported@GoDaddy Your site is AWFUL. Do better.

Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reportedHey, remember when GoDaddy took down Wasabi overnight due to user content, and couldn’t be reached until the next day? Many such cases. Ancient sysadmin wisdom: Never put a company with “Daddy” in its name in your critical path.
-
Vasil Karpachev (@vasil_karpachev) reportedTurns out sicne it was a .be domain, which is administered by Belgium, there was extra step before the domain becomes active. After completing that all is good. So GoDaddy nor Firebase is in the wrong here. GoDaddy support did not know this rule to mention this in our 4h chat
-
Atomic Man Productions (@AtomicErectus) reported@GCanada3146 No problem, and good luck! I know that feeling, @GoDaddy is a dogshit company that basically laughed me off when my late best friend’s memorial website got hacked. Just an awful brand all around.
