Alternatives To Go Daddy For Domain Registration

18 comments

I think all of us at CivicActions were disgusted by Go Daddy CEO Bob Parsons' vacation video featuring him murdering an elephant in Zimbabwe (and the subsequent butchering of that elephant by local villagers wearing Go Daddy hats overdubbed with the song Hells Bells). Bob Parsons has exhibited some pretty questionable behavior before, and made distateful comments.
