No experience with godaddy, but I am currently with 1and1, and would 
suggest you comments above ring true for 1and1.  I'm hoping to relocate 
to another provider, but recent experiences with attempting to transfer 
a domain were hideous.

So, if you read between the lines, I am NOT recommending 1and1.
