All the complaints here about GoDaddy have nothing to do with the one reason to use them, paying the least for a domain with free DNS. If you pay them anything else then you have just nullified this advantage as they can make back the few dollars you saved on the domain by charging you more for things like hosting and SSL (free at startcom).

It's only cheaper if your time is worth nothing. Digging through pages of upsells takes time. I prefer using a registrar where I don't have to do that. (I use both Namecheap and eNom.)

All the upsell checkboxes are defaulted off. I don't understand what the problem is clicking through a couple of pages without checking anything. I've done it dozens of times with no problems.
