Seriously, do NOT use godaddy.

Everybody saying they have had no issues for x years are happy now, but when the shit hits the fan - you'll wish you'd stayed away from them!

I got a single SPAM complaint (I do not mail AT ALL - bulk or otherwise). Godaddy then proceeded to "steal" my domain from me and charged me a handy ransom of about $100 to "clean up the remaining SPAM complaints"!!!

Had I not received the email within the 48 hours they allowed, for example if i'd have been on vacation - my business would have been in the shitter! I would have lost tens of thousands of dollars worth or business. All so I could get a cheap ass domain name and save a few bucks.

Seriously, spend a few more dollars on the purchase and don't be sorry down the line.

My opinion.
