I can't say I agree with that, after reading the site http://nodaddy.com/.
The site lists several horror stories of people who have had their
domain names taken hostage by GoDaddy with no warning or notice. Want
the domain back? That will be a $199 ransom--er--"reactivation fee".
Want to transfer the domain after it's been taken hostage? That'll be
a $75 "administrative fee". A quick check of their forums reveals a
steady stream of complaints about GoDaddy.
As for recommendations, until my webhost became a reseller of domain
registration services, I used to do business with Npsis.com. I had a
pretty good experience with them, including one situation where I
dropped the ball on a domain and let it lapse. I called them up and
paid the registration over the phone--they didn't even charge me a
"reactivation fee". And when it was time to leave, they provided me
with the necessary EPP codes, no questions asked.
