GoDaddy Up For Auction
An anonymous reader writes "GoDaddy.com, the closely held website that registers Internet domain names, has put itself up for sale in an auction that could fetch more than $1 billion, people familiar with the matter said. The company, which currently has more than 43 million domains under management, is well known for its edgy advertising, including Super Bowl commercials and ads featuring different 'Go Daddy Girls,' including racing car driver Danica Patrick."
Will bidders for GoDaddy have to use the same sort of hideous web interface that they make their users use? Shame that they will have to forgo that lovely experi- FOR EXTRA $5,000,000 YOU CAN HAVE 50% AOL STOCK IN OUR SuperStock Special Plus++ Plan!!!!! CLICK >HERE!
Whoever buys it is able to do a rate hike and truly screw over pre-existing consumers, and that's just if they're feeling generous. There's far worse they could potentially do.
Everything should be owned by the Government! That way no-one would ever be screwed over.
goatdaddy.com is also taken (no, I am NOT going to click on the link and see where it leads), foedaddy.com, gomommy.com, nogodaddy.com, goaddy.com, g0daddy.com, but h0daddy.com is availabile, and so is goatdaddie.com. Knock yourselves out.
