Seeing the news with Google domains, I’m looking to move registrars, and was wondering who everyone uses.

    I see. What’s the problem with it? I don’t deal with them very often. Why are they bad?

    I’m genuinely curious, and I’m not against switching providers.

      For me personally, they once stole a domain from me that I’d purchased from someone else, with no recourse whatsoever. I also saw them (firsthand) doing some shady things around their WHOIS lookup tool, where they’d register domains that users had searched for. I wouldn’t take my word for it though, I’m just some rando online, I’d do some searches to see just how many people have had issues with them over the years. Spoiler alert, it’s a LOT. There are even websites dedicated to detailing why GoDaddy is awful.

        I see, thanks for the warning! Seems like I have to do a transfer soon.
