2011: Godaddy supports SOPA and never withdrew support:

GoDaddy always struck me as a company ran by a "jock" (think Revenge of the Nerds) and all the technical people there are just there to collect a paycheck and don't care about the customers or going above and beyond, and it shows.

Just search for GoDaddy stories on old Slashdot. I've known since I had my own computer that GoDaddy=NoDaddy.

It's funny, the only time I can recall a programmer describing something as sexist (towards women) in the early/mid 2000's was somebody describing GoDaddy's booth at a convention. That really stuck with me for some reason, lol.

How does the name GoDaddy not put people off? It sounds like a name for a pimp.
