It is not GoDaddy's hosting we are talking about, it is their management of domain names. I do strongly advise you to transfer all your domains to Name Cheap (or any other registrar) and in future only ever by from that other registrar or (if they cost less on GoDaddy or come from their auctions) transfer immediately after buying.

GoDaddy have a very bad name in the industry, it would be boring for everyone if I repeated stories here, but do a search of this board, and other boards, and see for yourself why it is dangerous to have domains listed at GoDaddy.

Also I have heard rumours (NB rumours and hearsay, no actual evidence) that some link list and TGP owners who have been burned by GoDaddy in the past will automatically not list any site registered through them, so by using GoDaddy you are limiting the quantity of traffic you may be getting to your sites.
