To not keep beating a defunct equine (or elephant), but Go Dad is constantly on the ruin using its latest PR effort is to show you it only agreed to be kidding, which it doesn t really support SOPA.

Once the Internet made the decision to allow the organization realize that they d favour their domains be stored with a company who doesn t offer the Stop Online Piracy Act, the organization switch-flopped on its stance.

They re not preventing there though, they would like to help you stay like a customer, simply because they care about your needs. Or something like that like this. One individual has reported obtaining a telephone call from the Go Dad customer care representative, essentially pleading him to help keep his domain names put.

Here s an excerpt from the Google+ publish explaining the awkward call:

I simply got a phone call from #GoDaddy. The repetition stated he observed which i d moved my 60+ domain names away (I ve still got a couple of there which i m focusing on moving, but am being conservative with, since i have can t afford any down time whatsoever together), and desired to determine if I d let them know why. I acquired to inform them it was due to their #SOPA support, which I couldn t in good conscience give my money to some tech company that will support legislation like this. I told him I had been aware that they corrected their position, but their explicit support from it to begin with had cost them my confidence inside them, because it is in the best viciously ignorant, and also at worst, malicious.

The repetition was quite sincere in the apology in my experience, requested if there is anything they might caused by win me back. He'd a We support IP protections, and today understand that support of SOPA is simply too broad song-and-dance routine that most likely arrived from the PR memo today. I told him no thanks , which was that. I m astounded by the client service hustle, however it implies that this little incident really spooked them.

Although it s nice which go Dad customer care reps are apologizing to clients, this is sad that they need to do that to begin with. This is been an entire PR shitstorm for the organization yesteryear couple of days, also it s not receiving much better.

Go Dad unsuccessful by supporting one half-baked act that will affect many people s lives and careers. You are able to t back it eventually, simply to down again the following. The harm is performed. No quantity of telephone calls can change that.
