Sure I've heard of them and they might be the fastest solution for a website, but seriously, GoDaddy.com is now synonymous with... you know what. On a side note many NASCAR fans have a poor opinion Danica because her willingness to sell herself this way. There are lot of other women in racing who are better, but Danica gets all the attention because of things like this. Its not helping her. GoDaddy may get attention, but they lose business.

I got totally sick of that and moved all my domains to www.name.com. Same good prices, reliable service and no sleazy advertising.

Enough to irritate people, but not enough to make a dent in the bottom line. As a woman. I'm turned off... but I have more important things to worry about in my life.

Anyone who joins GoDaddy has got to know that the company rocketed into mainstream awareness after their first superbowl scandalous ad, so it really shouldn't come as a shock that they're using the same ole tried and true tactics that gain them new business. It was interesting to see on twitter how a couple of companies were immediately capitalizing on the negative sentiment some people felt from the campaign (and the timing when they may act). check out these tweets: RT @kdpaine RT @sashib Anyone who wants to move [from godaddy] can email smedia@networksolutions.com & we will take care. #superbowlads RT @idotz #superbowlads Does your domain register act more like a Porn site? Transfer to register that respects you... #superbowlads i'm also interested to see how much business they gained or lost....anyone know a way to find that out??? if they gained more than they lost, ten bucks says we're going to see a similar ad at next year's superbowl I think the mommy bloggers and tweeples tend go overboard with their concern on the GoDaddy commercials.

Lets name some of the other SuperBowl Ads that featured sex as their selling point: - 1998 and 1999 featured a very sexy women two years in a row - Britney Spears was featured in multiple Pepsi SB commercials - "The Twins" multiple SB ads for Coors Light OK - lets just list female sex symbols that have appeared in an ad: - Carmen Elektra - All the Victoria Secrets women OK - you know what - its not worth it. Do what you want to do - I for one will not be moving off of GoDaddy.com (and spending extra money to do so) - simply because they had a commercial that someone (not me) found offensive.

I did see however, that some hosting companies are taking advantage of the godaddy ads as seen on this site: http://www.namecheap.com/ "Not happy with your current registrar or their advertising methods?" is pasted across their site. ok, so i host 95% of my domains at godaddy. despite the fact that i don’t care for their advertising, i don’t care to switch.
