Another reason why I have decided never to use GoDaddy is because I have often found that scammers hide behind their domain proxy service. When trying to conduct a whois look up of a scam site, the regisration points back to GoDaddy. I don't do
business with anyone with such a lack of ethics in their business. They appear far more interested in making a few bucks than enabling scammers to perpetrate scams against the public.

My 2 cents,
