GoDaddy is domain registrar with high name recognition because of their aggressive advertising and large presence. Every internet service has both fans and haters, and there is no shortage of stories on the web about bad experiences. I moved my domains to GoDaddy a few years ago mainly for the lower costs compared to my previous registrar, and I learned to ignore and work around the confusing website and persistent upsell ads. The bottom level customer service staff seemed helpful enough and things worked ok for those years while nothing out of the ordinary occurred.

Many of the horror stories I had run across involved problems with fraud and theft, and I took them with a grain of salt and also the lack of any expectation that such situations would ever happen to me. Well, they did, and here’s my GoDaddy story.
