    For me personally, they once stole a domain from me that I’d purchased from someone else, with no recourse whatsoever. I also saw them (firsthand) doing some shady things around their WHOIS lookup tool, where they’d register domains that users had searched for. I wouldn’t take my word for it though, I’m just some rando online, I’d do some searches to see just how many people have had issues with them over the years. Spoiler alert, it’s a LOT. There are even websites dedicated to detailing why GoDaddy is awful.

    Please don’t recommend GoDaddy, someone may actually listen to you. They’re well known as one of the worst registrars. I would suggest you find a recommendation on this post that looks good to you and then move your domains there. Literally anywhere would be better than GoDaddy.
