You can transfer your domain to GoDaddy for a fee. Your term balance transfers with you. Unlock domain, get auto code, call GoDaddy, initiate transfer. Who is your hosting provider?

No, don't go with GoDaddy.

For transparency it looks like this user works for GoDaddy based on a previous HN comment where they link to their GoDaddy email address. My personal recommendation based on customer experience and privacy is Namecheap or Porkbun.

You can transfer your domain to the registrar of your choice for a fee. The fee usually includes an additional year of ownership.

See this thread for recommended registrars. GoDaddy is not one of the top recommendations.

This is seriously terrible advice. GoDaddy is shady AF. There's a reason their reputation is so bad.

Friends don't recommend GoDaddy for anything.

I am using NameCheap. I have used GoDaddy in the past, then changed to the (GoDaddy brands) "Domainz4Less", then "Domains Priced Right", but their mailbox price exploded, so with NameCheap I find reasonable pricing.
