Scummiest Website Out There
Evan J,
2.0
GoDaddy.com is easily the scummiest domain website out there. They will located domains that have been searched, buy them up, and then attempt to extort money out of you so that you buy their trash broker service for $70 and ... More then make you buy the domain for a lot more money.
Dont ever give this website your money. They should go out of business asap. Garbage people.

They overcharged me
אביאור ביירון,
2.0
I asked to move to a cheaper plan and they kindly assisted to clone my site. I asked that they will delete the old me.
After several months I discovered that they ignored my request to delete the data from the old server and ... More that they overcharged me for several months!
I told them to return my money but they offered only a 50% refund!
STAY AWAY FROM THEM
