This is a pretty interesting article written by a customer that was charged $6,579 by GoDaddy because of a bug in the popular CMS, Drupal that caused for his account’s bandwidth to increase exponentially. He ended writing a letter to the Huffington Post for GoDaddy to remove this charge.

Go Daddy’s reputation has been under attack for quite some time. Even though I am sure this is an isolated incident, it seems as though many of Go Daddy’s business practices are very questionnable, but most would argue that the practices of the most powerful companies in the world tend to be.

GoDaddy has been known to take down websites it deems inappropriate without notifying the owners of the accounts and also for stealing domain names from its customers using shady practices.

GoDaddy’s prices are extremeley competitive and so its going to be extremeley difficult for consumers to be swayed by a few horror stories.

At Digitalvaliance, we have used GoDaddy’s domain name registration services without incidence. We would like to know of any horror stories you may have had with GoDaddy? If we have enough responses, we will no longer endorse them as one of our official domain name registrars.
