About a year and a half ago I killed a test domain I had at go-daddy
for a year or two.

It got done, but I was pissed before the process was over and had to
get billing support to credit me back some money.

Iirc, they had some low-cost services they layered on top of the basic
registration, and after struggling thru their UI to figure out how to
kill they domain, they still left the add-on services in place even
though there was no domain to add them to.

I will not use them again.
