Primarily, I left GoDaddy due to their blatant immorality. For a start, they purposely make controversial (liberally sexual, IIRC) and immoral advertisements.
Hmmmm, liberally sexual and immoral advertisements. I must have missed those. Check.
I have also heard many cases of GoDaddy purposely selling typo-based domain names for porn and similar illicit websites.
Probably registered oogle.com and yahooo.com to porno-pervananceiers. Check.
They also only manage your DNS if you use their DNS servers *only* (minor issue, and may have changed, etc).
Now, this one I don't understand. How can anybody manage your DNS on someone else's server? They direct dns queries to whatever hosts you designate, and that's it. That's all anybody can do.
I appreciate your feedback, thanks for replying. Competence and price are my two primary requisites, godaddy still looks good on those counts.
I admit that I support several immoral business industries already, (gas, food, lodging, etc. etc.) and I pay taxes to an immoral government and vote for immoral politicians. I buy immoral products and computers made in China and, horrors of horrors, I run Linux.
A cheap, competent, albeit immoral domain registrar would not budge the meter one bit.
