Is using GoDaddy going to hurt my company?

Some of the godaddy madness and idiocy is starting to worry me. I have been using godaddy for years as my default domain register, their service is excellent and I did not have a single problem with them.

Lately I see vast numbers of ignorant people bashing godday, their usual claim is "goddady sucks, i never used it (because it sucks), but it sucks".

Why the f are you even talking if you have never used it? Some more claims about their constant up sales. Just ridicules. goddaddy will popup a single window to suggest some more domains, then you just click "no thanks". That’s it.

If anything, it works as opt-in, you must pick it manually to buy it.

All the other supposedly godaddy shenanigans, are in fact the users fault, either they didn't understand what they were doing, or their whole email account got hacked, but instead they go screaming at godaddy for losing their domains.

Now this SOPA thing. I have a better suggestions, lets boycott the whole US, obviously i don't want to do business with a government where people want to pass such laws... yeah.

No employee at godaddy cares about SOPA, it was most likely some management political decision, it backfired, but even now when godaddy stopped supporting SOPA people still spout nonsense around.

There is even a post on hn about a guy moving 60 domains and thinking godaddy cares, they don't. It is just their job, to make sure someone didn't hack your account, and when someone does and no one calls, you will remember this day.

I really don't want to leave goddady, but I am sure I will receive emails saying "why are you using evil godaddy? They want to destroy the internet". I guess most people don't know what a whois is, but still.

btw, read a book, or the wiki at least you ungrateful ba... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Daddy#Philanthropy
