Well, as a customer, you should know that any company that isn’t profitable and/or investor backed will statistically be acquired at some point.

Also, there are dozens of domain registrars and it’s easy to transfer domains.

Yes indeed, I agree. Which is why I am now looking for alternatives.

I had assumed they were profitable by not having the kind of staffing that godaddy has. It looks like they want more profits than they were getting - hey that's totally fine.

I have lodged my surprise and complaint with the company, I have told others that I think it is a terrible decisions for customers, and I am looking to vote with my dollars by choosing to move somewhere else.

I am also updating my recommendations to others.

I do not like that godaddy controls so many domain names and what they do with their market position. Uniregistry was my go to to get away from that, and now they are becoming part of that.
