Godaddy has some bad practices.

They used to randomly call us, and then ask US to verify our accounts, passcodes in order for them to tell us a domain was close to expiration.

Not an email. An unsolicited phone call where I have to validate my information.

I told them that was phishing 101 tactic and a bad practice to train users on. And if a call is standard, a user may reasonably assume an email may be too.

Ultimately they just removed my from their call list.

It was one of the most asinine things I’ve seen. It reminds me I need to move my companies domains to hover.
