I use GoDaddy for all of my domains and I don't understand what all of the complaints are about. I may host 40ish domains through them, and I've never had a problem with price, support or control over any of my domains.
These days it seems like leaving GoDaddy is the cool thing to do. If a company's marketing tactics or a CEO's out-of-office actions put you off, then that's one thing, but as for the product itself and how well it performs: GoDaddy performs as well as anything else I've seen for what I consider a fair price.
(Their hosting, however, is a totally different story…)
this is true. I have more than 100 domains through them across various accounts. The service works, the only complaint I have is that to change something in DNS record, it takes at least 30 clicks to get through all their crap. However if I would have to choose again my domain registrar, it would be probably NearlyFreeSpeech.net, they are way cooler than GoDaddy.
