A comment on DNS hijacked on GoDaddy?. Parent comment

I personally use NameCheap, but my company uses GoDaddy and has since before I got there...and the company we bought? Also uses GoDaddy. In total that is about 2000 domains. Transferring them would cost a lot of money and time and in the end is not worth it to save over the long run.

Potentially getting their DNS redirected would cost even more. (Also there are no "transfer fees" - although maybe GD unscrupulously does that?) So it's only a time consideration.

You actually pay a years domain fee typically upon transfer. So it is best to transfer near your regular renewal time.

I just went through this transferring a domain from GD to namecheap.
