GoDaddy does not get that this isn't like the elephant thing or using moderately attractive B-listers to sell stuff.
Those things, while some find them objectionable, don't really reflect much about how they view their customers in relationship to their core business offerings, domain registration and hosting.
I've seen a few questions to the effect of, "Why do tech savvy people use GoDaddy."
I can't speak for everyone else, but I used them because the customer service people spoke good English, they were always helpful and polite, the services were cheap, and the DNS control panel was constantly improving (we only use them for domains, their hosting has always been crap).
But their support of SOPA made it now clear that not only will they happily toss me and my clients right under the bus, but they'll put their name on something that makes it easier for someone else to be the one doing the tossing.

- loupgarou21 15y agoThe DNS control panel was really my big reason for sticking with GoDaddy for a long time. I gave namecheap's DNS control panel a shot. It's acceptable, but nowhere near as nice to use as GoDaddy's Someone was suggesting 1and1 to me and I cringed at the thought of using theirs. 1and1 has about the worst UI I've ever seen. If anyone can suggest a domain registrar with an excellent DNS control panel, I'd love to take a look at it.
