Too little, too late. I'm still moving my ~20 domains away. Their initial stance, plus their ridiculous initial response ("We heard some people were mad, but we're not changing our tune until we start losing money") indicates that they don't actually care about dropping SOPA support.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if behind this "we're so sorry" facade, Bob Parsons and Lamar Smith are having dinner and a laugh.
- gry 15y agoSame here. I've moved most of mine to gandi.net. They are foreign sites now.
- wx77 15y agoAren't they still applicable to SOPA if they are .com .net .org .us domains such as homeland security taking down domains previous example shows.
- culturestate 15y agoThis is correct. They're not foreign if the registry is controlled by the US.
- BasDirks 15y agoWhich is why I prefer eu for my own stuff.
- kkolev 15y agoWould one also need a non-US registrar to go with that .eu domain? Right now i'm using Dreamhost, but what would you recommend for a completely non-US solution with decent quality?

- kls 15y agoRight it is still important for the historical context. When people reflect on the GoDaddy incident, they will either say GoDaddy supported bad legislation and was brutally punished for it and the lesson will be learned by future companies or they will reflect on it and say GoDaddy took a gamble and bet on bad legislation, they apologized and where able to avoid accountability. By your continuing to remove your domains, you have helped that future lesson be the first narrative. It's no longer about GoDaddy and now about, what do we want the narrative to say.
