Go Daddy is a SCAM! They automatically set you up for a recurring charge and when I had found such an unsolicited charge on my bank statement, I called their customer service dept. The agent could not tell me what it was for, so I had my bank refuse the charge. Then, without warning or explanation, Go Daddy blocked my website because they had the domain, and told me I had to pay a FIFTY DOLLAR ($50!) charge to get the site back!!!! I spoke to Dustin in "Team Magenta" who just defended their policy and offered nothing to me.

GoDaddy: 1. Very slow Hosting servers 2. Poorly trained support staff 3. Incompetent management 4. Unethical sales tactics 5. Will update your credit card expiration date in order to auto bill your account. 6. GD owns Standard Tactics, co in New Mexico, in order to grab domains of value when they expire. 7. Created their own Redemption policy in order to then sell your domain on tdnam.com. Ask them about "Status 77"... 8. Becoming a giant of their industry and will become more obtrusive and aggressive against domain owners.

RE: GoDaddy. I changed my credit card on file and the next billing cycle they used the old number anyway. When I told them what had happened, and I'm assuming there is a log of my account activity, they said my services could be restored...oh and by the way, there would be $135 restoration fee. Obviously, I said; "no thanks." When will a law get passed that allows consumers to charge businesses a fee for the troubles they must endure for crappy service?
