Was just reminded why I tell everyone to avoid GoDaddy like the plague. Aside from the fact that it took two hours with tech support to forward a domain, and the chat interface repeatedly timing out (even while I was typing to tech support) forcing me to keep refreshing it, there is a much more troubling issue.
Their security is absolutely atrocious!
On the way to the ridiculously long interaction with tech support, their system became suspicious of my logging in with five different browsers trying to get a simple domain forward to work, and began requiring I provide a confirmation number which they forwarded to the contact email address on record. Fine and dandy.
What isn’t so fine and dandy is that the email address on record was used as contact on more than one GoDaddy account. Now, there’s normally nothing wrong at all with using your email address on more than one account, but I would caution against it on GoDaddy.
I entered credentials for the account, had GoDaddy send the confirmation number, entered the number, and was logged into a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ACCOUNT… Yes, they gave me complete control of someone else’s account.
Without entering ANY of the credentials for the other account!
GoDaddy… Just Say No!
