I use both pretty regularly but I would agree that NameCheap is probably the way to go. GoDaddy, with each passing day, has more of a sleazy and cheap feel to it.

Having said that, no matter how dirty GoDaddy makes you feel it won't be nearly as bad as any interaction you'll have with Network Solutions. Stay away from that at all costs.

It's been a few years since I got into a backorder struggle but at the time it was incredibly difficult and ended up dragging out for months and months.
