- martingordon 15y agoMy neighbor uses GoDaddy for his domain registrations. Should I move? It's one thing when Ben Huh moves 1000 domains off of GoDaddy in protest. It's another thing if you're going to avoid doing business with a company that does $10-$100/year worth of business with a company that supports SOPA. Here are a two things that should be higher on the list: * Call your congressperson. It's a lot easier for a lot of us to push a few buttons on a web page than it is to pick up the phone and talk with someone. * Avoid dealing directly with companies that support SOPA. How many of us are reading this list from a Comcast IP? Those of us that do are giving Comcast 10-100x more money than these YC companies. I'm going to be looking into switching to FiOS after the holidays (unfortunately, I know many don't have that option, but you should at least take a look). For what it's worth, I moved all my domains to Namecheap after the elephant incident earlier this year.

Bad anology fails on all counts. Its more like a really really watered down catholic banishment via money deprivation.
