    /Hosting/Godaddy: Goodbye Godaddy!

    For a while now I have been somewhat unhappy with Godaddy. Living in China, their website is bloated and very slow. There user interface is bloated and complicated. And on top of that, in the slow process of tranferring my domains out over a period of months, I have found their domain transfer-out process to be extremely complicated, and seemingly designed to baffle and confuse casual users (read: discourage domain transfers....)

    May I recommend nearlyfreespeech.net[1], with a very fast, clean website, comparable domain name prices, and much cheaper website hosting prices.
