Really, I think the question is more like, "what are the good and cheap alternatives?" GoDaddy is inexpensive, but dealing with their constant up-sells and their various ploys to get more money can be frustrating and annoying.
I host my domains at GoDaddy because it's cheap. I preferred GANDI prior to that because their quality of service was high and their willingness to keep the crap to a minimum was one of their primary objectives. (I still use GANDI's VPS service.)
I would love to find a cheap, good alternative to GoDaddy, but every time I look for one, I come up dry.
Godaddy is not cheap, they seem cheap. Their whole game is to get you in the door with their prices, then they'll try to fleece you every chance they get. Tanstaafl.
