No problem at all. In fact, I've been a customer with GoDaddy for about
5 years now, and I currently have 99 domains in my account with them
(not 100, as I previously thought). The only two times I can recall
having the need to contact customer support, was when I lost my account
ID and password, and when I needed to find out how to set glue records
for DNS (ie. registering my DNS servers). Even then, I got a response
within 24 hours.
