I left GoDaddy earlier this year, when Bob Parsons made his childish Great White Hunter video killing that elephant.

With the stories I've heard since about how GoDaddy already handles copyright complaints and otherwise mistreats customers, not to mention Parsons' support of torture, and of course SOPA, I can't imagine why I would ever consider giving them money—especially with how well NameCheap has treated me since I joined them.

Exactly the same for me. Except that I went with name.com.

Every time i hear the name Godaddy, i remember the elephant killing.

It's amazing how much a person can bullshit to do stuff they want but they know it's not right... This Bob Parsons should be arrested.

Moved to NameCheap after the elephant story broke.
