should I move my domain to GoDaddy?

[ronys]

Hi,

In addition to what others have written, here's my experience:

My son has a domain registered with them, that expired (he missed the expiry
warning due to not updating his e-mail address). A couple of months after
expiration, they hold his $5/year domain name hostage for $80, that is,
either pay them the money, or lose that domain - can't register it
elsewhere.

Admittedly, not updating the e-mail was our fault, but a x16 fine borders on
extortion. No idea how other registrars behave in this respect, though.

Sorry for the OT, but had no-one else to ask.

My domain is currently registered with ENOM and I'm considering a move. Does

anyone here have experience (good or bad) with GoDaddy?

And to make it a bit on topic, is the management interface (changing e-mail 
forwarding, managing DNS, managing free hosting, etc) Linux friendly?
