I could not agree more. I have moved all of my services to hover.com over the years. They've been great, straight forward and simple.
They rope you in with those 2 dollar domain coupons. I'll give them my $2 + tax but that's it.
In theory since it will be up for public ownership you could argue that some sense could be knocked into them. But for some reason, it never works that way.
It's kind of a shame that being a publicly traded stock is Not correlated with a company cleaning up their act.
if they go public, you can always just make a billion dollars doing something else, then keep buying their shares and selling them for less, constantly driving the price down, until they don't exist.
This would have no net effect on the supply of shares, so it would not decrease their share price (aside from temporary fluctuations while you are doing the buying/selling).
I'm pretty sure they don't do the sexist advertising anymore. Though I agree that their policies are questionable.
I guess I need to learn to take offense easier, however with two personal sites maintained for family members both registered through GoDaddy I honestly never had a single issue. So what am I missing?
