Go Daddy shuts down site hosting illegal content.

Posted on January 27, 2007

A couple days ago MySpace officials demanded that Go Daddy shut down Seclists.org, which hosts roughly 250,000 pages of mailing list archives and other resources, because there was a list of thousands of MySpace account login information archived on the site. Go Daddy complied and pulled the plug on the site. The site was inaccessible for about 7 hours until the site owner of Seclists.org, Fyodor Vaskovich, found out what was going on and removed the lists. In a Go Daddy response, the Director of Network Abuse, Ben Butler, “As we have said to our customers - Go Daddy is committed to keeping the Internet a safe place. If there is material online that is jeopardizing Internet safety, we will take necessary action.”

What is GoDaddyRocks.com’s response on this? We think Go Daddy made a great decision. These password lists were compromising the safety of MySpace users and Go Daddy took the appropriate action by shutting down the site. Thanks Go Daddy for making the internet a safer place!

2nd Go Daddy commercial denied by ABC

Posted on January 22, 2007

Yet another Go Daddy Super Bowl gets rejected by ABC. This time it’s a commercial about two office workers registering personal domain names, and it gets pretty stupid and immature. Sorry GoDaddy, but this commercial simply is not funny at all. Get some better material!

Happy New Year!

Posted on January 1, 2007

We at GoDaddyRocks.com want to wish our readers a happy new year! However the new year brings bad news at GoDaddy, the elimination of several pre-2007 promotions, including the $5.99 .com coupon code and special pricing on .net, .org, .info, and .us. Fortunately you can still use the “Hash3″ code for $6.95 (plus $0.25 ICANN fee) .com registrations. The $5.99 .biz promotion seems to be still going on as well. We will keep you updated on any other coupon codes we discover.
