GoDaddy.com Dumps Linux for Microsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the say-it-aint-so dept.

RobertB-DC writes "Bargain-basement registrar GoDaddy.com has decided to move all its parked domains to Microsoft servers, saying that they'll provide 'a technology platform that is security-enhanced, highly scalable and easy to manage.' This is a shift away from Linux, a decision met with derision by other registrars such as Gandi.net, which greeted the news with the headline 'Go Daddy and never come back'. Late last year, GoDaddy.com had some 'issues', shall we say, with non-Microsoft browsers."

    GoDaddy has decided to switch to Microsoft servers. That is the first sign of their evil infection. The other sign is that they are now lying about why. It cannot possibly be that GoDaddy is in the business of making money and Linux was hindering that in any way. We all know that Linux is always better at everything. We must assume that GoDaddy knew it was more secure with Linux but decided to switch to MS because they enjoy being less secure.

    Yea that makes a lot of fucking sense! Now quell your anger by clicking on the dropdown and selecting "Flamebait -1". Feel better now?
