The problems I have read about with GoDaddy include their retaining  
ownership of domains they have charged their customers for. In the  
rare event that a domain becomes very popular they apparently use that  
ownership to leverage a huge increase in fees to the customer. Of  
course I do not know if these allegations are true.

I also am not impressed by their attempts to use sex to sell their  
services, as anyone who has seen their TV commercials has experienced.

Generally the more heavily advertised a product becomes the less  
likely you are to need it.

But if they are providing you with good service I'm glad to hear that.
