Hi everyone, Product Manager from GoDaddy here. A lot of you have made the correct assumption. We simply host very few Ruby sites. We are radically improving our hosting, and with all the great offerings like Heroku (kicks ass) it doesn't make much sense to continue to invest in what will be a less than great user experience for Ruby developers. I'm happy to answer any more questions here!

You're keeping PHP support because you like elephants, right?

While I'm not a GoDaddy fan by any stretch, I think it's pretty cool that you're stepping up here to answer questions.

  Thanks! I joined GoDaddy 6 months ago, and although 7 months ago I would have laughed if you told me I would be working at GoDaddy, the company is undergoing a remarkable transition with new leadership. We are becoming hyper customer focused and making our products world class.

    I know the organization is changing, may I respectfully suggest that you suggest someone take a look at this language on the web site? Like a Stanford dorm room on steroids, our Sunnyvale office is 40,000 square-feet of Bay Area badassery, brimming with some of the biggest brains on the planet, dreaming up digital masterpieces and keeping time in agile sprints Because... yuck. I get what you're going for, but I'm sure you can do better. http://www.godaddy.com/newscenter/about-godaddy.aspx?ci=9079 http://www.godaddy.com/newscenter/about-godaddy.aspx?ci=9079

Can you make the login popup on your website compatible with chrome password autofill? It used to be, but the new popup login thing broke it.
- seancoleman 13y ago
  That's too bad, sorry that broke. I'll get it over to the right team. We're launching a dramatically improved front of site experience soon so it might be fixed in that release.
  - vinhboy 13y ago
    Ok. Either you fixed it, or I am stupid. But it seems to work now. Either way thanks!

I assume this doesn't affect MediaTemple accounts at all?
- seancoleman 13y ago
  That is correct. This only impacts GoDaddy hosting accounts.

Any chance you can clean up the UI on the domain management and purchase order flow? It's a mess.

  Yes.. I hate how clicking on "edit" in the zone file brings up a new window.

  Hey... I'm a dev over at GoDaddy. While that area isn't my direct area of development, I work with those guys -- we're cleaning all that stuff up very dramatically. I think you'll be pleased...
