Go Daddy Usurps Network Solutions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-a-whole-lotta-dns dept.

miller60 writes "Go Daddy has passed Network Solutions as the top domain registrar, and now manages more than 6.8 million domains. This marks the first time that any registrar other than Network Solutions has held the top spot. The change is no surprise, given the growth trends and pricing for the two providers ($8.95 for Go Daddy, $34.99 for Network Solutions), but its controversial Super Bowl ads no doubt helped put Go Daddy over the top."

    Any registrar that would sells names to the tons of porn sites is destined to be number 1. (Warning: This post is probably incorrect.)

    Can you describe the commercial(s)? I'm at work and don't want to be watching vids of something that'd get me any heat.

    Thanks!

    I can't bear the thought of offending somebody, somewhere, so I am simply going to remove myself from the world to solve the problem.

  10. Brilliant advertising by Wrexs0ul · · Score: 2, Funny

    Much like all the great ads, they take a commonly held belief and associate it with their product, ad is as follows:

    Boobies = Good

    Boobies, boobies, boobies, Go Daddy, boobies, old guy, boobies

    Go Daddy = Boobies = Good

    Possibly old guy = good too, not sure about that?

    Not to belabor a point, but a high incidence of lingual ignorance on this site is hardly surprising to anyone who has been paying attention.

    In other words, a lot of the geeks here have no English skills, whatsoever. It's not surprising they agree with you. (No offense intended.)
