I transferred from GoDaddy to name.com about a year ago by recommendation of a friend. It's nice to not be bombarded with GD babes and just enter my account to do what I need to do.
I wish I hadn't switched to name.com. If you use their DNS servers they automatically add a wildcard record pointing to a parking page. There is no way of turning that off besides defining your own bogus wildcard record.
I keep getting emails about expiring domains and auto-renewals. I maintain a separate spread-sheet to keep track of these.
For some reason it not only annoys me but it always make my blood pressure shoot up. To turn these alerts off you have to disable auto-renew for the domain. This check box is not easy to find. They hide the auto-renew check box column very cleverly.
Now I get emails about expiring other services... I still haven't figured how to turn these off.
I guess since I've been using them so long I'm in the same boat, I know exactly where to go. You can even go straight to your domain manager by visiting dcc.godaddy.com -- quick and easy.

I agree with this. And sorry for the rant.

I use godaddy to just do what I want, and really like the ui. Maybe I just know where to click but I'm not bombarded by anything.
