Meh he is a CEO, they wouldn't get to a CEO position without doing bad things.
GoDaddy has like 1,000 employees..
And every time a GoDaddy deal pops up on OzBargain someone would drag up a 3 year old story about a guy that is no long a CEO there?
However there are other valid reasons why one shouldn't use GoDaddy — poor service, too much up-selling, bad track record of loosing customer's domain, etc
Bob Parsons is no longer the CEO of GoDaddy….he hasn't been since 2011 (although he is still on the board as the executive chairman)
which is no different to CEO lol
I registered a domain with them under one of their occasional $1 deals, knowing their reputation but thinking there was nothing to lose. My payment was singled out for extra verification, starting with sending them a copy of my photo ID - wasn't comfortable going down that route as I read about them subsequently demanding bank statements, etc. Fair enough for them to ask, but fair enough for me to refuse and cancel the order, which I did.
Trouble then was, they held onto the domain (with DNS servers that marked the domain as having been "suspended for spam and abuse"), so I couldn't choose to register it elsewhere, and it's still being held as of today, almost two years later. Fortunately it was a throwaway domain.
I don't support go daddy as well. had issues with domain registration/transfer. Also on hosting side, they provide very limited service. eg. IMAP requires you to pay extra.
Didnt work for renewal
Just signed up for a domain, put the code in and it gave me 49cents off the total. (it should have been around $3.50 saving?)what happened to the 35% off?
My first negative on OZB
I still have a few with godaddy but less than I used to.
I have a problem with their so called discounts, I used one for supposed 35% a while back and caught them out when it didn't add up to the full 35% !
They did respond and admitted the figures were wrong, but they did nothing about it.
every time you buy a GoDaddy service you are supporting a CEO who thinks killing elephants as a sport is a great thing. Think twice, is that ~$3 saving worth it? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/31/bob-parsons-godaddy…
