Mega registrar · aggressive upsells

[01] Verdict

GoDaddy is the largest registrar by domain count and the worst by experience. Aggressive cart upsells, WHOIS privacy is paid (most competitors give it free), renewal pricing is 2× intro, and they've had a string of security incidents. Listed for context — buy elsewhere.
