GoDaddy is notorious for holding domain names hostage if you try to move from them.
I've not experienced any issue with domain transfers away from GoDaddy.com. But often play the renewal game with them.
Basically, I wait until the last minute to renew, and most times the price magically drops. Sometimes as much as 40% less. If they don't drop the price, I transfer them to 1&1. Which appears to get GoDaddy's attention, as I start getting discounts on other renewals once again.
I find that 1&1 domain pricing to be similar to GoDaddy, but they offer free private registration. The only issue with 1&1 is that they tend to telemarket their services to you often. I have them on permanent auto voicemail, as it gets annoying.
