Yeah, it seems actually a good sign to the ruby community.

My thoughts exactly. Most people cringe at using GoDaddy as a registrar.
Using them for hosting your site? Double-cringe.

#6I dunno. This is probably better for both communities. Better to offer no support than offer terrible support anyway.

#7Maybe this post exists only to convince us that there actually are Ruby devs using GoDaddy. Never underestimate the value of counter-intel!

Yep - any site I've seen hosted on GoDaddy is LAMP or just plain HTML/CSS/JS. I had to do some LAMP work on a site hosted on GoDaddy and it was pretty annoying to configure, with poor support. I can't imagine any Rails developer using them for hosting over Heroku, etc - so if Rails is maybe 1% of their hosted sites, they might save money by not having to support it.

Ruby's popularity is pretty irrelevant to using it as a tool. It's incredibly well-supported, and there's talent for it abound.

#10Feels like GoDaddy tried desperately to gain mind-share of ruby/rails developers, realised it was costing more than it was making and hence shutting it down.
