When I switched to GoDaddy, there were a few other less expensive 
options, though by now I don't remember what they were.  However, when I 
called their sales lines to ask them about pricing and transfer rates 
and all of that, I had to ask them to repeat what they said so many 
times and they treated me like I was an asshole---and I wasn't even a 
customer yet.  If they treated potential customers that way, I couldn't 
imagine how awful they treated their customers, so I decided it wasn't 
worth it.

FWIW, I don't pay attention to anyone's advertising.  That's not how I 
play the game of finding services.  I just try to find the best place to 
be and if I'm not happy, I move.  I'm a GEICO customer too; people tell 
me they have some pretty awful ads out there.  I don't care, though I 
might move from them anyway, since my insurance hasn't gone down in five 
years and it should have by now.
