I used to think the same thing, but considering their name registration isn't even price compatible $13 annually without coupons and their shared hosting is over $10 a month, they are worth considering moving on from. I did because their hosting was just too expensive with them refusing to offer coupons to existing customers to renew hosting or domains. They used to be a lot better.

Yeah honestly I’ve never looked at the competition because I only own about 5 domains personally, but I bought the domains for like 12$ and I definitely pay >100$ a year now, so more than double what I paid for some of them.
Godaddy raising prices made me switch. Namecheap offered 30$ for hosting for a year so I transferred over a year ago. It was very annoying to transfer the domains, but I don't like feeing gouged. Anyway godaddy's hosting was bad and hacked at least twice in three months years ago, back in 2010 or something. Namecheap has softalicious or whatever it is called. Godaddy can't compare.
