Godaddy.com most confusing site I ever used

Godaddy.com may be the biggest domain registrar on the planet but their site design is so confusing and they make the process of registering domain or buying anything else from them so complicated that its not easy to do business with them. They need to make it easy but I don't think they are going to do that as their complicated process makes them sell a lot more than what they actually can with a simple design.

The second thing they need to improve is their site downloading speed. I started this post after I have filled the login box and pressed submit button but I am nearing the finish of the post and still the page is not loaded fully (Actually I had to do a refresh to make it load further as it was stuck).

A little bit of research

Most of the time when we have to do something we just do it in hurry without doing any research. We do this specially when we do something online.

In my previous post I wrote about purchasing a domain name www.orkuthome.net . I also tried to do it in hurry by going to name.com or godaddy.com and register the domain. I entered the name.com and searched for domain, clicked .net domain and proceeded to checkout. It was showing 8.99$ for that domain for 1 year. When I was just about to do the checkout I saw the promo code box. I searched on the google for promo code for name.com but didn't found anything meaningful. After trying for some other variation for searching for a promo code I searched for .net domain sale. I found this other site that is selling .net domain for 6.49$ (+18 cent icann fees). I registered the domain for 2 years for only 13.34$ . For only 4.35 $ extra I got the domain for another 1 year.

Now I am doing some research for some good web hosting so I can handle properly my ever increasing list of domain names. Any suggestions?
