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."

  1. I'm shocked those ads are working by Whafro · · Score: 0, Troll

    An ugly chick and dude who seems to join her in the club for people with shit for brains... I guess it's all just about the name recognition.

    I bought a domain from GoDaddy a few years ago, and then have been determined to transfer it elsewhere since I saw those ads, as it made me see the company as rather pathetic.

    MOD PARENT UP. Moderators, how can you call it a troll? It's someone's opinion, including mine.
