The reason I don't mind paying more for iwantmyname or DigitalOcean is that their support actually, for-realsies works. Now I'm not scraping by to feed myself, and if I were this may be a different story, but I just do not understand why people ever sub-optimize their future happiness in order to save $3 a month or something silly like that.

Edit: And if you have to take the cheaper option, at least go with Namecheap. They're a lot better than GoDaddy and at a similar price point.
