Marine1: Shotgun Justice: My wife thought they were a porn company (due to their commercials of course).

The online segments are a total freaking letdown and boner killer.

This. "Web Content Unrated" my ass. I've seen dirtier shiat in a Carl's Jr. commercial.

For shared hosting, I've used HostGator for years. They give you a real cPanel unlike GoDaddy. Also, when you use shared hosting, GoDaddy hosts their MySQL databases on another server. When I first saw that I thought, "Well that's probably pretty efficient. One server for PHP and another for databases." Then I had to fill out a form to get a database and wait two hours while the (automated?) system set it up. It was like that every time I wanted to install a CMS to play with or use.

I've had two people call Hostgator for support for really easy things and they seemed fast. Of course the two problems were stupid errors that my friends made. I've used them for years, but never needed to call them. I'm not really doing anything difficult. Just a few domains with some WordPresses. I think I had a problem with Joomla once, but that was because they upgraded PHP and some template I was using supported only the old PHP.

"Not only is there no First Amendment concern, but the notion that we should turn a blind eye to criminal conduct because other countries may take oppressive steps in response is an affront to the very fabric of this nation."

I didn't bother to RTFA originally, but holy shiat, she can't be serious?! I love how she basically says SOPA is oppressive, but now it's all or nothing. Don't worry about punishing just those who break the law, just make the law so farked up everyone is considered a criminal.

If I change from GoDaddy do I have to then repay for registration? I got 8 years left on a domain I bought recently.

On the otherhand, it's still probably worth it.

What's an "Internet company"?

Ugh. I never did use their hosting services, but I've had my domains registered with them from day 1. No longer.

They're a local company too, so that makes me extra sad.

name.com has a coupon of "NODADDY" for transfers.

Alright, I've had a domain with GoDaddy for a long time but I have never transferred. How much work goes into transferring? :S

I switched to hostgator and they're awesome so far. Intelligent tech support, via phone or live chat. They migrated my site from my old host, and even modified my PHP files so my databases would be properly addressed and log-in before handing me the reigns.

I could use a recommendation on a DNS company since I am using Godaddy but will be switching because of this crap. Anyone want to help?

I have an affiliate account and will share if you sign up with my Link (new window). My comments above are honest, even though I benefit from referrals.

If you don't want to upset yourself, please don't read the companies who support it as I did.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

When my domains come up for renewal, I'm moving off godaddy. So long, jackasses!

(Too bad that won't be for 8 years, 6 months, 5 days...)

You will need to pay a transfer fee (sometimes as much as the renewal fee itself, sometimes less, as we do), but this will extend the registration period for another year beyond the current expiry. You won't lose anything, you'll get another year tacked on, and you'll be away from GoDaddy.
