I was on MediaTemple which was sucked into GoDaddy a while back but just last week actually migrated my server to theirs... this happens. Horrific, I'm still dealing with the fallout.

my, and my client's, experience with support from web hosts is garbage.

I have had positive experiences with their web hosting services. I have my complete AI tool hosted with them and have never faced any issues.

I've never changed the default... Godaddy... all have been an hour or so.

No amount of phone calls, emails or any customer support could get their domain back. The immediate on-sale of the domain is a pure cash-grab with no care given to customers.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy from GoDaddy. Do not even search for the domain you're considering on GoDaddy. Literally any option is better than GoDaddy.

A few months ago I reviewed my bills from Godaddy, and it turned out that they have hiked the price of my domain every single year since I've had it.
