  on 5/1/24 i cancelled all business as a customer of **********************. I am a victim of wildfire in a federally declared area and have been in transition unable to check communications from Go Daddy while in evacuation. They automatically billed me for continuing services on 5/4/2025 to my credit card. I was unaware that they still considered me a customer or that they were automatically billing me. The charge was $129.48 for internet services i had cancelled. I became aware of the billing today and immediately called Go Daddy. They acknowledged the 5/1/24 cancellation date but said I now had to go online to cancel my business with them and they could not turn me off on their end. I see this automatic billing as a scam. I have always respected Go Daddy but this experience has me see them as scammers, unwilling to do the right thing. I requested a refund, which they denied. I know there are problems with automatic billing but I have been unable to have the business correct their mistake and want this on record. it is not a lot of money but is the principle. Thank You

  the Go Daddy response is incomplete. I contacted Go Daddy a year before they indicated in their response to BBB. It was a phone conversation where they assured me my account was then closed. They did not direct me to a self-help process but said they deleted my account on the phone at that time. When i discovered that my account was still active and being charged automatically, i immediately contacted them this month and was then referred to a self help closing process, which i have followed. there is a texting chain with them from that contact day where they acknowledge my call to them the year before where they say they only closed a part of my account. Had they informed me a year ago that I needed to do something else i would have at that time. My understanding was my account was closed a year ago.

  Godaddy.com has an issue with their programing/AI that I have informed them about last week. This problem is on my website creation and editing page. The Ai or programing is placing communist and anti American photos on my site and i am unable to edit them off of my site. The company clearly has not attempted to fix this issue because these communist photos are still on my American Veterans Assistance website through their company. I'm requesting full reimbursement of all funds i have spent on godaddy.com while retaining all of my products, intellectual properties designs, etc.etc.etc. I am requesting that i retain their service with more attention to detail on my sites and daily reviews from management to ensure the most American patriotic websites in the best interest of our American Veterans. Specifically, this involves a picture of communist **************** pin, that needs removed from my website.

  Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.
  
  On June 8, 2025, our customer established a ***** trial of our Websites+Marketing (W+M) plan, which is a template-based platform customers can use to build a website.  On June 15, 2025, our customer manually renewed the plan for a month, and the billing is currently on a month-to-month basis.
  
  Certain tiers of W+M plans include GoDaddy Airo, which is an AI driven tool that can attempt to create a website using prompts from our customers.  While AI is a powerful tool, it doesnt always get things right -  a best practice is to review the output for accuracy and to ensure satisfaction.  If Airo produces something that our customers dont want, they always have the option to manually edit the site using the provided templates. 
  
  RESOLUTION:
  
  GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
  
  As with other AI based platforms, Airo is constantly evolving and improving, and feedback is a vital part of that process.  To that end, we have shared our customers feedback internally, and we appreciate them taking the time to share their experience. 
  
  As a one-time courtesy, we have processed a refund for the most recent renewal of their W+M plan.  The plan will remain active in their account and our customer will be responsible for the payment of future renewals.  They can expect the refund to post to their financial institution within 2-3 business days.

  ONGOING ISSUES:1. Design Team continues to disregard the specifics of written edit requests through the GoDaddy on-line system facilitated through our GoDaddy account.2. In the past year GoDaddy has failed to service our website including but not limited to the following ways: a) Contact Form was non-functioning for over 3 months for no reason. b) Mailing List form was non-functioning for over 30 days suddenly. c) Since 2024 we requested to have payment services installed on the website - several requests were made but no functioning payment services made available; instead the Design Team's attempts to add payment services created a breach in the website with pages deleted, scattered text all over the site which made the website useless.3. It took weeks to get staff in the Design Team to UNDERSTAND they had completely screwed up the website - hours and hours of frustration on this end culminating in GoDaddy having to return the website to an earlier version - which then knocked out any other new edits that had been completed correctly.4. Every single time we submit an edit request since 2024 - EVERY TIME - the Design Team continues to delete items we never asked to be deleted, add items we never asked to be added, put text/phrases on MY website on their own - without completing the initial requests at all.5. Every week we are on the telephone for HOURS begging, pleading, yelling, crying to get someone to fix the Design Team staff failures. All to no avail.6. It took over one year to finally get payment services (two weeks ago) - interesting in one call to a staff member here in the **** who set it up in 10 minutes.7. It takes weeks for anyone to call us back when we ask for a manager, and then they have no idea why they are calling us.8. GoDaddy's failure to hire competent staff has caused us to lose grave revenue and our reputation in our industry, including lost time out of conducting business. This is unacceptable on all fronts.

  THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LEGAL AGREEMENTS WITH GODADDY.  THIS IS 100% ABOUT THE INCOMPETENT STAFF GODADDY HAS OUTSOURCED NOT DOING THE *** I AM PAYING FOR, AS WELL AS THEIR USE OF A.I. TO COMPLETE ROUTINE EDIT TASKS THAT ARE ON ALMOST EVERY OCCASION DONE IMPROPERLY - MAKING MY WEBSITE A COMPLETE MESS.

  I AM NOT PAYING MONTHLY FEES FOR GODADDY DESIGN TEAM TO CONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER "THEY" WANT ON MY WEBSITE.  THIS CONTINUED HARASSMENT BY THE OUTSOURCE DESIGN TEAM HAS CAUSED US GRAVE LOSS OF REVENUE DUE TO THE WEBSITE FOR WEEKS AT A TIME BEING INOPERABLE/UN-NAVIGATABLE.  TO DATE - OUR CONTACT FORM IS STILL INOPERABLE - DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS TO FIX FOR MONTHS.

  I HAVE FILE AFTER FILE AFTER FILE OF REQUESTS AND PRINTOUTS OF WEBSITE PAGES - SHOWING THAT GODADDY DID NOT LIVE UP TO ITS PROMISES.  WE ARE PAYING FOR DESIGN SERVICES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DELIVERED AS COMPLETED PROPERLY MONTH AFTER MONTH.

  MY WEBSITE HAS BEEN, IS CONTINUES TO BE MISMANAGED BY GODADDY DESIGN TEAM STAFF; SO HOW IS IT THAT GODADDY IS LIVING UP TO WHAT THEY PROMISE TO DELIVER?  THEY ARE NOT DELIVERING, BUT TAKING MY MONEY.

  FOR THIS PERSON FROM THE ALLEGED "OFFICE OF THE CEO" TO CLAIM THAT GODADDY HAS LIVED UP TO ITS PROMISES IS COMPLETELY ABSURD.

  IF HE THINKS HE'S GOING TO PUSH BACK AT ME CLAIMING I 'SIGNED' LEGAL DOCUMENTS - THEN HE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO STAND UP AND FULFILL WHAT "GODADDY" PROMISED.  HE WON'T DISCUSS THIS BECAUSE HE KNOWS WE ARE RIGHT AND GODADDY HAS NOT LIVED UP TO WHAT THEY PROMISE TO PROVIDE AND WHAT THEY GET PAID TO DO.

  IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO ASSIST IN RESOLVING THIS EGREGIOUS SITUATION IN AN ATTEMPT TO INTIMIDATE ME AND THROW HIS WEIGHT AROUND, HE BEST THINK AGAIN.  WE HAVE ALL THE FILES TO PROVE WHAT WE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT ARE TRUE.

  CONTACT MY OFFICE TO DISCUSS THIS AND PROVIDE RESTITUTION - WHICH CAN BE MADE IN THE FORM OF ALL SERVICES MADE FREE (AT NO COST TO ME) FOR TWO (2) YEARS.  THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION FOR GODADDY.

  I am filing a formal complaint against GoDaddy due to a series of billing and customer service issues that remain unresolved. This is the 4th time in 5 years. I was mistakenly charged four separate amounts $12.17, $51.09, $25.93, and $12.00+ despite only attempting to purchase one domain (advertised at $0.01). The order was placed using an incorrect email and domain name by accident, so I could not access the account or customer number due to not having the correct email. When calling I was told initially they cant help me because GoDaddys required second-step email authentication. Impossible.I explained clearly on multiple calls. The first two agents I spoke with were rude, repeatedly asked questions I had already answered, and ultimately refused to help since I couldnt authenticate an account I couldnt access. On my third call, a helpful female agent found the account and offered a partial refund on the $25.93 charge but said a full refund would require me to cancel everything, be recharged again, and wait for a refund which didnt make financial sense, so I declined. I called again today and spoke with an agent named ***** with an accent from ******. Icalmly explained the situation, he talked over me, asked for my customer # (which I had already explained couldnt access), and eventually offered a refund of around $12. When I asked how I would receive confirmation without access to the email, he told me, too bad, and refused to provide alternative options. He would not even confirm the name of the company I was speaking with. After asking three times, he vaguely said Business Solutions, not GoDaddy, which left me with no proof of the refund or who I was truly speaking with! I believe GoDaddys billing is misleading, their support structure is broken, and their refund policies are grossly difficult for customers who made simple account errors. I am seeking a full refund of ALL unauthorized charges And this will escalate to the ***

  I purchased a 2-year Website Builder plan from GoDaddy for about $260. I have not used the product at all and still have about ***** months remaining (approx. $130 value).

  I contacted GoDaddy to remove and refund services and a domain charge. I talked to ****** G on 6/24 and she said she removed the services, cancelled the domain and I would have my refund in 5-7 days. I talked to her about a couple other things and she then informed me she could not refund and after some back and forth refused the refund and opened a ticket to see about the refund. So no refund yet my services and domain were removed. I want the $83.88 and $30.34 refunded back to me as promised!!

  Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.
  On March 8, 2025, our customer registered a domain name for a two-year term via an online transaction, without assistance from GoDaddy representatives.
  Subsequently, on March 19, 2025, they purchased a one-year Websites + Marketing (W+M) subscription, also online and without direct GoDaddy involvement. Websites + Marketing is GoDaddys proprietary, do-it-yourself, template-based platform designed to help users easily build and manage their websites.
  On June 24, 2025, they contacted our Care Team to request a refund for both purchases. Regrettably, they were provided with inaccurate information regarding our refund policy and were advised that the *** subscription would be refunded. The subscription was canceled at their request, and a refund request was submitted. Upon review, our Refund Team declined the request, as both products ********* outside the refund eligibility period outlined in our Refund Policy: ***************************************************/refund-policy.

  my GoDady Customer Number: ******* I got an email today 06/26/2025 telling me that I had only 5 days left to renew both of my domains from GoDaddy.com, I went on there website from my cell phone, logged into my account and saw both domains. I click on one and selected renewal and went thru a few screens until I got to the cart and purchased the renewal for one more year for $22.17. Then I paged back to the other renewal and checked out on that renewal also ($22.17) . when I finished I went back to my main account screen and it still showed that one domain still needed to be renewed, so I went thru the process and renewed it (another $22.17). minutes after I recieved emails showing that I had renewed one of the domains twice (so I had 3 separate bills for renewals)I immediatly called GoDaddy customer service and explained the issue, the person I spoke with said that he saw the issue and asked to put me on hold hold while he contacts a manager, when he came back he said there was nothing they could do, I was shocked, I asked him to cancel the whole thing and I will redo it, he said he couldnt. This was a simple mistake and should be refunded, they are just trying to steel additional money from me, if they do not refund this I want others to know of there business practices

  Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.

  Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.

  On June 26, 2025, our customer completed three separate online renewal transactions. These purchases included two individual one-year renewal transactions for the same .COM domain name, effectively renewing the domain for two-years, and a one-year renewal transaction for a different .COM domain name in their account.

  Following these renewals, our customer contacted our *********** to request the reversal of the second transaction associated with the domain they renewed for two years. Our staff properly informed them GoDaddy does not have the ability to reverse domain renewals, and a refund would result in the cancelation of the domain name.

  RESOLUTION:

  GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.

  While we understand and empathize with our customers frustration, they have been properly informed. GoDaddy, like other domain name registrars, does not have the ability to remove time from a domain name once it has been added. As such, we respectfully decline our customers request for a refund of their second transaction. We kindly encourage our customer to review their domain selections carefully when processing future renewals to ensure they renewing the correct domain names for the desired term.

  I called them 5 minutes after making the purchase. They had plenty of time to go ahead and change it or cancel it. I asked them to cancel it and I would redo it. They didn't want to do anything once they had the money. So again, they either refunded or I will keep this complaint to warn other of there sleazy practices

  Thank you for the opportunity to address our customers additional concerns. 

  We stand by our initial response.  

  GoDaddy, like other domain name registrars, does not have the ability to remove time from a domain name once it has been added.

  If our customer wishes to receive a refund for the domain name in question, they must first delete the domain from their account. Doing so will cancel the domain names registration. Our staff previously discouraged this because GoDaddy is unable to determine when a domain name will be eligible for registration after it has been canceled.  

  If our customer would like to receive a refund for the domain, they can notify our office of its cancelation by July 5, 2025 by emailing ************************************************************.  As a courtesy, instructions to cancel a domain name can be found here: *****************************************************************;

I have done 3 transactions small ones , one over $2,000 and the last one over $6,500 and they ask for some information because of the red flag for the amount , I sent all the documents they required like bank statements for the past 3 months, how much the company is aiming to sell a month, the invoice for the client with the full amount owed and his entire information Name, address, phone number and email and all the specs of the job . They decided to cancel my account after 5 days of waiting for my money after the job has been done since Monday 22nd Now they gave me an option to refund or wait 90 days for my money which is ridiculous. So I talked to the client about getting his money back so he can just pay me cash or with a check and he agreed once the money was back into his account. Now this poor company wants to draft $164 dollars from my account because of the fee (transaction fee) which it was not my fault, not any concerns with the client complaining about my job . It was an entire roof replaced . And this guys had to send the money back but now want to draft without my authorization $164 from my bank account when the issue is their poor system and performance . They better dont be charging me for something that they committed bad not me

  I completely understand the safety but they never verified anything with the client . Also they closed my account which is okay, but now they want to charge me $163.33 transaction fee because the account was closed and the money refunded to the client and I have to pay for something that it was GoDaddy decision not mine and I wont be paying for that fee when they closed my account . There are no concerns with fraud in here, the client agreed to pay cash which I have collected already. This guys didnt do a good investigation at all and lost a client

  ok so you guy arent working with me at all. I completely understand us requesting a refund if is our fault when it comes to doing a job performed at a client house, thats our liability but in this case you guys closed the account not me. There was no concerns with the job performed, the client ended paying Zelle for the same amount , you guys closed the account not us . You guys provided 2 options 

  a refund to the client or wait 90 days to release the money, why would I have to wait 90 days to get that money when I paid out of pocket for everything and you guys just wanted to hold on the money for 90 days. Thats bad business and would make everything bad . Thats capital for my company . My money so of course I wouldnt want to wait 90 days for me to do nothing and just wait for you guys to release the money, the other option was the only one to resolve the problem quicker . And still you guys decided charging a fee for a transaction that had nothing to do with me or my client .  So no I wont take that as my fault and that I should be responsible for that charge. 
  I need you guys to resolve that

  thats absolutely hilarious, my emails are STILL not working, Ive had no calls from Godaddy at all.  When I call them, they have 2 accounts in my name, yet I only have 1 account.  Because a person once had my Cell # over 6 years ago, and I have repeatedly told them this is MY phone #!!!!!!!! They refuse to remove this **** from MY Account, MY PHONE #, its exhausting already.  The loss of business that I am having because of the NEGLIGENCE of GODADDY, is creating panic attacks, stress, anxiety, insomnia, None of which I have ever had.  I am losing thousands hundreds of thousands of dollars. I cannot access my emails past or present!!! When I call in to Go Daddy, I am told by the representatives that theyre not trained in fixing my email issues I am still sitting here with no email, not one phone call from Godaddy??? This is absolutely absurd, and their response absolutely ignorant!!!! This is the second time that I have had to get the Better Business Bureau involved in a dispute with Go Daddy.!!! Last time it was my security on my website, my website being shut down, and again costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Website shut down right in the middle of a hail storm!!! And now here we are again in the middle of h*** storms, and my business email address is not working!!!! Absolutely unconscionable, my small family business is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. And this company can give a s*** about it.!!! Disgusting ?? company, and horrible customer service!!! Period

  In May 2024 we spoke with a Godaddy *** about our website. We were told a 3 year term is more affordable, so we went with that. We were not informed that it was locked in and non refundable should anything change during those 3 years. That business closed down and the website and Domaine are no longer usable for us 1 year after setting up. We called hoping to get a partial refund for the remaining time left and are being told that it's not possible. The best Godaddy can do is give us a store credit that we do not need. Very frustrating experience and poor communication on behalf of Godaddy. It cost us over $600 Canadian, money poorly spent.
