About GoDaddy Charges

GoDaddy Inc. is the world's largest domain registrar and web hosting company. Charges appear as "GODADDY," "GODADDY.COM," or "GD-*GODADDY." Common charges include domain registrations and renewals, hosting plans, SSL certificates, email plans, website builder subscriptions, domain privacy, and marketing tools.

Unexpected charges frequently come from auto-renewal of domains and services (often at higher renewal prices), privacy protection add-ons, multi-year renewals, and services added during checkout that you didn't notice.
