I have been with Go Daddy since and I have always had some issues with their team of men they are hard salesmen and they are so rude and direct I called today to pay for my account and they had deleted without my knowledge Although, I had made a payment in March or April My website is being hosted on their site and I could not believe that they deleted my entire website and my email account that I had valuable information related to my business on the Go Daddy site, especially my website As a non-profit business your website has to be up at all times without any hesitation, today Go Daddy's representatives showed me their buts to kiss, because they didn't care about how I felt, because to them it's about money, not your business I would like to refund from them because I have spent lots of money with them to build the site, host the site, setting up my *** account and my SSL account, plus the per month must be reimbursed because I have to hire someone to rebuild
Godaddy participate in "front-running" shady business practice by frontrunning expired domains
I was looking at apkey.com domain name that is expired to bidToday is Feb 12, which is not the end date of its expired auction
Then, today, I see that, expired domain auction abruptly ended and disappeared before his very own eyes
I have evidence that I uploaded via video recordings today to prove itEvidence video is here:

Godaddy never seem to fix it after so many years
Calling GoDaddy for help with a product you bought from them? Be prepared for them to say "you need to call x for that, it has nothing to do with us" when, if fact, the issue almost always lies with themThey talked me into upgrading to another email product for me company because could not get my current email system to work properlyThey lied about the upgrade as wellThey told me the upgraded program come with x, y and z - it came with nothing! Now they are nickel and dimeing me for everything!
All GoDaddy does is pass the buck and lie pass the buck and lieIf you read all of these reviews and still buy a GoDaddy product you will get what you deserve!
Last month (March 2018) I canceled my domain and my economy linux hosting with cPanel Not only did I call and cancel but I changed the autorenewal on my account so that it would not automatically renew To my surprise, I got a charge for $on my credit card from go daddy for the economy linux hosting with cpanelI called and spoke with Josh and told him that I wanted everything canceledand that I had moved all my hosting including domain over to Wix because I found them too complicated and wasn't impressed with their customer serviceHe told me he would cancel everything and gave me a confirmation number and an email receipt of the confirmationdays later GoDaddy charges me $for my domainAre you kidding meWhat do they not understand about canceling ALL of my services? I WANT EVERYTHING CANCELED AND THEY NEED TO STOP CHARGING MEWHEN I SAY CANCEL EVERYTHING BECAUSE I NO LONGER WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH GODADDY, I MEAN CANCEL EVERYTHING! I can't believe that I'v

I have been a Go Daddy customer for more than years now and I am very very unsatisfied with their policies and their serviceThey are always looking to make money in every way possibleTheir policies are very unfriendly and they should be ashamed of it

These scandals have email that is not functional, and they know of the issues/yet fail to mitigate them and continue charging for unusable email
Cpanel email intermediately shuts off, they know of the issue, yet they up sold me to it, only to have a subsequent representative tell me "I'm not sure why they would do such, it periodically shuts off for no reason."
Workspace email has constant issues as well (i.epeople won't receive mail, you won't receive their mail, etc.)
I subsequently switched to office 365, and this week it was constantly downSome go daddy representatives acknowledged the issue, while others completely denied its existence
The office constantly shuts out the Godaddy client, continuously asking for a password over and over againA go daddy representative acknowledged the issues as "wide spread" on Friday the 17th, while others deny it, including the manger Matt Poland, who refuses to refund my money paid a few days ago for the office suite (whic
On June14,I paid GoDaddy $4,to create my business MirageHairtique a Logo, Website, Domain After payment I was transferred to someone in web services and we had a minute talk about my business and ideas for their services for meThe representative sent me a ton of PDF files that I was unable to use due to me not knowing how to use themHe set a follow up call with me for June 21,I also had received a email from the Logo team to complete a document about my ideas for the Logo and someone would call me in 24hrsSo I did just that tired to figure out how to use the PDF files I was sent from the guy in the website departmentAfter getting very confused I just said I would wait to ask questions on our follow up call on 6/I just thought maybe he would have checked on me before that to see if I had any questions but he didn'tThen back to the logo team I submitted the concept form but no one reached out to me like I was told they wouldSo I had no idea where I
I registered a domain through from godaddy on Nov2015-11-13,I successfully made a payment and I received confirmation about this domain is belong to me.I also successfully log in and pointed this domain to site ground for hostingHowever,this domain was suddenly locked and godaddy put this domain on auction for $dollars
I called godaddy for the reason.First time,I called,customer service ask me to follow the process to send email to @*** and I included all my information and got confirmation email Incident ID: *** .They promised to respond me within days.After 4th day,no reply at all,I called again,customer service ask me to send my id to different department
This is crazy that I only provide my ID to government and police regarding to privacy issue.The reason is ridiculous to verify my payment since I already paid in full and already successfully logged in
I have been a godaddy customer for many years for both hosting and email services, Per the trend of the US godaddy iss forcing clients into alternative more costly email services and removing godaddy backup/sync services So I was forced into the goddady platform once my emails in godaddy began to disappear Today all emails, since September to now magically disappeared Godaddy does not have my years worth of emails backed up or synced So not all of my work, bid docs, contracts, letters, and more are gone and godaddy's response is to try to force an additional services with additional cost for a service that I have always had with the fees that I paid I was forced into a $platform that has lost ALL of my email history for the past year
We not refund me after canceling my domains and *** *** Escalated and refused to refund me I canceled *** *** only days after the deadline Being billed for full months of which I will not use I also canceled a domain within the refund period and was still not issued a refund I had to call in to get it refunded, as it would not auto-refund This is the greediest company I've ever worked with!
I had a web domain and website with Go Daddy and a sales associate with Go Daddy called me and told me I must purchase an SSL certificateSo I did because I didn't know any different The sales associate told me I needed oneWell I paid up front for it and did not even know how to use itI had a company build my website and they had put an SSL certificate on my websiteWell I never used or activated the SSL certificate I was told I had to purchaseWhen I called to cancel the SSL certificate after the company whom made my website told me to cancel it as they said I didn't need it they would not refund my money and claimed they couldn't because I couldn't prove I didn't have oneI am still unsure why I was told by the company I needed one and I feel it is not ok to call current customers and threaten them into buying products they don't want or needI want my money refunded as I didn't use the product and paid money for it
I purchased a domain from GoDaddyAfter doing that, I started receiving dozens of email and phone callsAfter about calls I started asking the callers how they got my information and each told me the same thing "we bought your phone number from GoDaddy directly"I never agreed to allow GoDaddy to sell my personal information

I am so stressed out with this company no renewal notices, nothing just straight takes money from the credit card which was never set up for pre-authorized paymentTook C$249.83, never was asked, and when I called to cancel I was told it will be cancelled, no notes left from the previous agent even though I had spoke with them days after the fact of money taken off the credit cardWhen I called a month later to ask why I have not received a refund ,I was told I am out of the thirty day period and cannot get a refundI was fraand would like a refund, never to deal with this company ever again
I have had an email address for years through GoDaddy It is my personal email address, not for "business"
I opened a separate business website: and had email addresses linked to that websiteHere's the error: Someone at GoDaddy "linked" my personal email address to the business account (which I never authorized) Now, I closed the business website because I was displease with the service - and now GoDaddy will not let me into my PERSONAL email address any longerThey tell me it was "linked" to my business website and I was told I have to pay $to be able to login and see my personal emails
The "linking" of my personal email to a completely different business email account was an obvious error (hopefully not an "intentional" for-profit error)
For the personal email account, I pay for a domain name and registration yearly, and was never charge an additional annual feeI have renewed it many, many times, and never charged a "email account" feeIt was always included
I opened an account with Godaddy to start a website My business has evolved away from use of that website and I decided to close it now some years after opening it I attempted to log on to the account and could not Although my computer retains all login info and records any change I make, the authentication requirements had changed So I went through the change of password links The new password reset would be acknowledged but would be rejected immediately upon trying to login I carefully repeated this process several times than called the technical support number They requested a telephone pin number that I am not aware of ever having been issued Lacking that they requested the last numbers of the credit card used for payment After consulting bank records, I gave them the correct number, the one used yesterday to collect a payment from my bank account, and they rejected it as not matching the number they have on file for their internal authentication process The t

GoDaddy is notorious for trying to piggyback items to put into your cart I've been a customer for over years and normally watch it very closely Somehow a $order for Linux Web Hosting with cPanel wormed its way into my cart in December without my concent or knowledge The Web Hosting also auto-renewed in December for $ NEITHER CHARGE WAS AUTHORIZED
To my knowledge I did not order the service, nor did I select or request to auto-renew I specifically checked all of my domain accounts to ensure nothing was on Auto Renew The fact that I had web hosting at all was unknown to me until they updated their web portal where it is better displayed I switched to the old portal, and you would never know the product was lurking in your account unless you directly went to
I purchased a simple domain name just to park it, and am now receiving 3-spam phone calls a day from one or another foreign "website design" companiesGoDaddy sells your contact information without your consent
