The best advice I can offer is to never have the hosting and
registration with one vendor.
GoDaddy is ok for registration, but I would not use them for hosting.
I've been able to get sites up in very short interval. I have to admit
that it gets easier with each one you do, and depends on the host and
registrar.
Since moving all my domains to GoDaddy, and all of my hosting to
HostGator, I've had 0 problems. In the past everything was a problem.
