Poll is missing option: "I never used GoDaddy to begin with because of their bad track record"

I certainly understand your point but the point of the poll is to find out if GoDaddy users are actually taking actions (to find out if there will be a mass exodus).

"if GoDaddy users are actually taking actions"

There has been so much past idiocy from GoDaddy, that I'm surprised there are all that many HN readers left with them now anyway.

Seeing the threads on HackerNews homepage today, I'm surprised so many powerful websites were on GoDaddy.

Yes. This was the tipping point (and the fact there was a guide to do it made me).

Previously, I got sick of the hidden charges they had ("Business registration fee", added with each domain) that you may not notice.

Waiting for the 60-day period after renewal to expire so they are eligible for transfer.

I'm unemployed in SF, as a web developer. I can't afford to.

No, I transferred them (all 65 of 'em) back in May. Solidarity with elephants, you see.

Question is, how many people here are going to boycott going to NFL games or watching them on TV (including SuperBowl) given that the NFL is one of the official supporters of SOPA?

I had all my domains on Name.com, I'm waiting to see what their position on SOPA is; if it's negative, i'll switch to Namecheap. I hate GoDaddy regardless of their stance on SOPA.

No.

If you're being sincere, I would love to know why. Is it because you don't support SOPA, couldn't care less about SOPA and love GoDaddy, have too many hurdles to jump over, or some other reason? Just curious.
