DON'T BUY DOMAINS FROM GODADDY!!!! SCAM!!!!!
I recently had a terrible experience with GoDaddy, and I feel compelled to warn others about their unethical and exploitative practices.
Here's the list what they do (according to what i observed so far) :-
- Deceptive Domain Availability: When I searched for a domain, it was initially shown as cheap and available. However, shortly afterward, it was claimed as unavailable, marked as a "premium domain," and priced ridiculously high.
- GoDaddy Monopolizes Domains: I noticed that every domain I searched for was suddenly "claimed" by GoDaddy. Visiting these domains leads to their landing page, where they sell the domain at inflated prices or suggest hiring a broker—essentially forcing users to overpay for domains they initially showed as affordable.
- WHOIS Confirms Suspicious Practices: When I checked WHOIS information for one of the domains, here’s what I found:
It’s clear that GoDaddy is holding these domains through their proxy service, making them unavailable to regular users unless they pay a premium
Unfair Market Manipulation: GoDaddy is deliberately creating scarcity by claiming domains people search for and reselling them at inflated prices. This is not just unethical; it’s exploitative and undermines trust in domain registration services.
💡 What You Can Do:
- Avoid GoDaddy at all costs! Use alternative domain registrars like Namecheap, Hostinger, Cloudflare or Porkbun.
- Be cautious when searching for domains, as GoDaddy seems to track interest and manipulate availability to force you to pay more.
⚠️ Conclusion:
GoDaddy’s practices are a blatant scam, designed to exploit users searching for domains. They manipulate the market to extort money and provide no transparency in the process. Stay away from GoDaddy and use trustworthy alternatives instead!
this happen for all the domain i checked specially (.com) all the one also don't say .com are popular in demand then why it available and now its register then why now and why after i checked and why all and why all the domain are directing to godaddy not once to their registered owners website

see they are telling to buy at high price it's okay this premium one i don't want but why do they claim anonymously the domain after i looked or searched on their website in one day even after 3 months the domain does not have a website only godaddy promotion this is for all domains i looked into
