Have you tested other domain registars? I moved my domains to name.com.

The UI/UX makes so much difference. When I login, I am taken to a list of my domains. Its one click to go to DNS records. I use Google Apps, it one click to setup the MX/A records for google apps. There is no random images making the page load take forever. The random upsell is gone. Its slightly costlier than godaddy, but I much prefer to pay that to save my time.

Be sure to check your DNS setup. Ensure that asdf.yourdomain.com is not redirecting to one of their ad pages. Full story here: http://nathanhammond.com/namedotcom-another-unscrupulous-reg...
