no because I also have hosting over there. if any of the ssh+git friendly competitors are willing to waive the hosting fee for the remainder of my contract with godaddy, I'll be more than glad to switch. otherwise I'll have to stick with them...

I disabled automatic renewal though - so I'll definitely leave them when I get my money's worth.

ps: don't dish me cause I don't want to move away due to money. sadly money is an issue for me these days... :(

If you have transferred (or are going to) domains away from godaddy because of their SOPA support, please could you add your domains to this list - http://stopsopa.mattbearman.co.uk Thanks in advance

What exactly are you claiming copyright on? "© Matt Bearman Ltd 2011" gives me a rather bad impression, especially for a protest website like that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I've been with them for 10yrs and they have never wronged me. The only reason I'm considering switching is the moral reasons with SOPA.

When you have 30+ domains on a single registrar it is a little frustrating to go through each one individually and get the authorization code, unlock them, and request the transfer.

Also, for me, I have domains that I did 5-10yr registrations on, so the transfer and getting 1yr free isn't really that helpful.

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.

They posted their position about SOPA here:

You can't claim copyright on a list of facts anyway, at best you might have a database right.

Crap, honest mistake. I threw this site together in less than an hour, that is just the default footer in my Twitter Bootstrap setup.

This site has nothing to do with my company, it's entirely personal. And I claim no copyright to anything on it.

I've removed the copyright message now, thanks for pointing it out!
