StackOverflow didn't exist until 2008, so I doubt Jeff & Joel registered the name in 2003. When they bought it off whoever first registered it, they could have easily moved it to someone else. ServerFault.com (by which I mean the domain, not the site) has only existed since 2009. Clearly they had the option not to go with GoDaddy then as well, just as they did with all the other SX domains.
