It's worth mentioning that I just joined GoDaddy a few months ago as an employee, feeling a lot of the same concerns. Hosting really needs to get their changes under way, I don't work in that area. I also have mixed feelings about "sales and support" being the same people. I will say the checkout isn't nearly as bad as it once was, and there's movement to improve things. As to the advertising, most of that's pretty much changed the past couple years as well. Don't get me wrong, for my own projects, I'm far more likely to use linode or digital ocean if I'm hosting somewhere... I also feel that movement towards things like docker.io are far better in terms of direction than a lot of enterprise VM infrastructures being implemented. It takes time to change course for an aircraft carrier. If it weren't for a lot of the internal changes coming from the top down, I would not be here at Go Daddy today.
