I contacted customer service via chat (I have the transcript) to downgrade my ********* email. Instead of downgrading, Go Daddy created a new email subscription and left the old one so I would have TWO subscriptions.I contacted customer service and after a long chat the agent basically offered to turn of auto renew on the old plan but described it as an "additional service" even though the plan was a downgrade, not a new plan.This borders on fraud and the way the agent handled this is very deceptive. I would like the money I just paid for my old plan to be refunded.Business Response

Thank you for the opportunity to address our customers concerns.
Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.
On December 13, 2016, our customer purchased a ********* 365 Online Business Essentials plan for a one-month term via a phone transaction. This plan has been regularly renewed in one-month increments, most recently on January 13, ****.
On January 25, ****, our customer contacted our *********** inquiring about downgrading their email service to a lower tier. To assist them with the downgrade, the desired lower email tier was added to their account for a one-year term. A migration was then internally initiated to complete the downgrade process. Our customer was informed the process could take up to 24 hours to complete.
RESOLUTION:
GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
We appreciate our customers candid feedback about our service levels and apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience caused during their interactions with our Care staff. We will ensure the interactions are reviewed by our ************* Managers in an effort to identify improvement opportunities. GoDaddy strives to offer the best service in our industry.
This office has since refunded the January 13, ****, renewal in question as a gesture of goodwill. Our customer should allow between five to seven days for the funds to reflect with their financial institution.
Thank you again for the opportunity to address the concerns presented by our customer.

Help desk ticket number: ATS281549 User Account number: ********* I reopened my domain account with ********************** on December 7th, 2023, paying what I thought was an annual subscription. On January 17, **** in the afternoon, my email associated with the domain stopped working ************************* After much investigation, I learned it was due to an annual renewal that needed to occur, which surprised me, but I went online to complete the renewal. I upgraded the renewal as well to increase email storage at the time. I expected my email to work after that, but it didn't, so called the GoDaddy help desk. The employee backed out my renewal and reprocessed a new one somehow deleting my email account. Since the 17th, I have been calling twice daily to be told that my issue has been sent to a high level team to resolve and will be resolved within 24 hours. It has now been a week and I don't have access to my email. I am in the midst of a job search and have provided this email to contacts. This is causing me to lose income.I have paid this company $141.77, and frankly have invested way more than that following up with them to no avail. I understand mistakes happen, but at this point, after a week, they should resolved the email and account issue and reimburse me fees paid to compensate for the trouble.Business Response

Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.
On December 17, 2023, our customer manually renewed their domain name registration for a 3 year term via an online interaction. This renewal did not include their Office 365 email plan, which was due for renewal on January 7, ****.
Per our customers account preferences, autorenewal was disabled on their email plan, and as a result, the email plan was not renewed on January 7.
On January 19, ****, the email plan was suspended due to non-payment, and our customer contacted our Care team for assistance.
Our Care team sold them a new email plan which included email security. Later that same day, our customer decided to cancel the plan with security and was sold a cheaper plan without security.
Due to unforeseen technical issues, our customers email address failed to properly setup, and an internal support ticket was opened.
RESOLUTION:
GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
On January 25, ****, our customer was notified that the email address was setup and fully functional.
While the vast majority of tickets are resolved within 72 hours, this case took longer than usual to diagnose and resolve. We appreciate our customers patience and understanding and will remain available to assist with any unresolved email concerns.

Been a GoDaddy costumer for sometime with little issues, till now.Jan 16th made a sale on my GoDaddy hosted online store and costumer made a purchase, proceeded to check out nd completed payment through PayPal through the GoDaddy shopping cart and checkout. Received an email from PayPal stating that I needed to verify my email in order to collect this payment. After three days of 3-4 hours on the phone with BOTH PayPal and godaddy it was concluded that godaddy FAILED to inform me that from the beginning of the **** godaddy online store will no longer allow personal PayPal accounts as a viable payment means. You now need a business or e-commerce PayPal account in order to properly receive payments from PayPal.So they sent a "authorization pending" payment to PayPal PENDING my account verification. I tried to verify my ALREADY and in used account with ******************** again but I was informed that it needed to be an e-commerce or business account. Im NOT elligible to upgrade my personal to a business account so Im unable to collect this payment.Paypal needs godaddy to release, recall or authorize the payment sent to me so they can proceed with either refund or deposit in my account. ******************** says they cannot recall or make changes. Paypal does NOT have access to the funds until godaddy sends authorization or releases the funds. Godaddy still fails to admit that this is new policy they implemented but they failed to notify users (At least I was NEVER notified of such changes) on their platform. I found out the hard way after this order processed.So now since Paypal has no access to the funds they will automatically reverse the pre-authorization to godaddy and eventually back to the original buyer. So the buyer gets the product AND his full payment back.What are the chances in todays society that the buyer will actually re send payment AFTER A MONTH of enjoying his purchase?Hope you can help Regards *****Business Response

We began the FreedomVOICE service in January 2023 primarily to send out text messages to our clients when needed. With FreedomVOICE we were told that we could install the free mobile app to easily check voicemail or faxes, make calls, and send & receive text messages using the business number from anywhere. We were never able to receive or send any SMS messages to anyone which was very disappointing. It then became very frustrating that from Feb 2023 to Jan **** we sent the customer support team email and countless calls for them to fix the issue. We were always told to fill out several of the same forms, that our case got escalated to a different department and that there was no need to worry. We paid for a service that did not work and did not come up on their promises as we are still with the same problem 1 year later. For us, it was a waste of time and money.Business Response

Horrible customer service. I own the domain www.WinningRealty.com and my email is through ****** business. The MX settings through godaddy got deleted and hence my entire real estate firm cannot receive or send emails. Godaddy keeps sending us a verification in order to fix the issue to an email I cant receive emails from due to the MX issues.

Our customers domain name utilizes Full Domain Privacy and Protection. This is a premium, add-on service that provides proxy contact details in a domain's WHOIS information and also protects against high-risk DNS updates, cancellation, expiration, or transfer of a domain name. In order to make high-risk changes to domains utilizing this service, customers must first verify their identity by entering a one-time passcode, which is sent to the domain name registrants email address.
In the event a customer does not have access to this email address, they may also receive a one-time passcode via SMS if they enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on their GoDaddy account and wait at least 24 hours to allow 2FA to be fully set up.
On January 18, 2024, our customer, or an authorized user to their account, made an update to the domains Nameservers. This update caused the domains Zone File to reset to default, disconnecting the domains connections to email and web hosting services.

Godaddy has a system in place where the hey legit lock you out of the account due to not having a way to verify your identity without option 1) sending a verification email to an email server that *** be down due to their systems and name server issues not matching with MX settings 2) the client has to bear with it and accept that their business cannot access email for a 24 hour period until ther do a 2 part verification. This lock out period costs our company a tremendous amount of money and respect with real estate deals sitting in responded to for 24 hours.
godaddy needs to enable another way to get into godaddy accounts without this lock out period and someone in their tech department should come up with a viable solution to fix this for the betterment of customer service. It was very unacceptable to be locked out and have to wait when someone could easily verify the owner and step in to make the changes.
Do better godaddy you are now aware of a serious flaw lets see if you are willing to do something with this new found knowledge and fix your systems to better the company and ultimately remove complaints due to such flaws in your system.
