Well, it's not a mass exodus like I did last year after the "situation" with 1&1 but a few thing really irk me with GoDaddy so I've started to transfer some of my names out (I'm mainly transferring the names that I use (developed) to Moniker).
The sad thing is that this is how things started to degrade with 1&1 until I got burned by them (I would think GD doesn't do that).
- 7 pages of suggested add-ons just to renew domains. Sorry, I didn't want these with any of the other 200+ domains I have with GD - why would I want them now?
- 45-60 second freeze time whenever I pull up all my domains or sort the list - it locks ALL FF windows and tabs, not just the one pulling up GD. If you think this is not an issue, do some renewals and DNS work.
- 3 minutes just to get an auth code - I started timing when I clicked on the domain and ended it when I was back at my domain list sorted the way it was (by expiration date).
- New window or tab popping up whenever I go to the My Domains screen. Try doing some email, DNS, locking, and forwarding work. Next thing you know you'll have 20-30 tabs and windows open.
- Some of my names I had with Parked or Sedo are now on GD's parking servers. It's only one or two but still...
- The site is extremely slow most of the time - even while I'm at work.
