Those issues seem at most secondary to the objections some people have to how GoDaddy has dealt with the Internet and GoDaddy customers. https://www.google.com/search?q=nodaddy.com http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/12/godaddy_shuts_down_nodaddy/ My experience wrestling the domains of relatives from GoDaddy was not as bad as some of the stories, but it took more time, effort, and sophistication than some people would care or be able to muster. GoDaddy also likes to "up sell" many "protection" and other services whose value I don't understand. During our wrestling match, GoDaddy started sending warnings that some sort of "mailbox" service would not start without the replacement of an expired credit card. The credit card had been previously used for automatic renewal of the domains. I did not knowingly ask for the "mailbox" service, but maybe I clicked the wrong link on a web page. About 8 years ago I got stupid spam from GoDaddy's QuickSizzle bulk mail advertising service. Network Solutions is the only other major registrar that won an entry in my personal email blacklist. Network Solutions was more persistent about trying to send me unsolicited advertising, but it was always for Network Solutions instead of random Internet entrepreneurs like GoDaddy's QuickSizzle service. Never mind the spam support charges; half a decade is long enough to want to forget the less clear cut issues. https://www.google.com/search?q=godaddy+quicksizzle It was not hard to escape Network Solutions when I did it. (I didn't choose Network Solutions after SRI; I think that was the DoC.) I cannot recommend the registrar reseller or the wholesaler that I've used since NetSol to anyone who cares about IPv6 glue or DNSSEC. They couldn't handle my DS RRs in plain text mail (no MIME). It wasn't until I put the RRs on a private web page that they could cope. I've ducked IPv6 glue by using https://sns.isc.org/ for secondary DNS services. I'd recommend SNS@ISC, but you might think me insufficiently disinterested. There are registrars that people recommend generally and for IPv6 and DNSSEC, but I've not used them. I could switch, but even when the old registrar cooperates, switching costs some time and effort and risks breakage.
