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.

Please don’t recommend GoDaddy, someone may actually listen to you. They’re well known as one of the worst registrars. I would suggest you find a recommendation on this post that looks good to you and then move your domains there. Literally anywhere would be better than GoDaddy.

Even this post is doing it to me. On your instance this post has 12 comments, on my instance it has 4 comments.

I have the exact same issue with my own instance. On the post you mentioned, I’m seeing 383 comments on lemmy.world, but my own instance only shows 128 comments.

I’d recommend giving Hetzner a look, they’re similar to Linode/Digital Ocean/etc., but they’re a bit cheaper. They’re a European company, but they’ve recently added a couple North American locations.
