The GoDaddy Fiasco… And What You Can Do

Reading time: 1 minute

If you have been following the Twitterverse today, no doubt you’ve seen the outrage by people who have seen the video of GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons shooting an elephant on camera (link here: http://mashable.com/2011/03/31/godaddy-ceo-elephant/).

I’m not surprised, honestly, but I think GoDaddy has a lot of other problems besides their CEO euthanizing elephants – they overpopulated their servers, people continually have a problem with navigating their site, and their service is lackluster at best.

So, if you are currently on GoDaddy with your hosting, listen up. Normally I charge $150 to migrate a site from one host to another, but if you leave me a note on my contact form and mention this post, I will do it for $100. Also, I’ll donate $25 to the Save the Elephants fund. Keep in mind you need to bring me the hosting – it’s up to you to make a choice as to where you want to move to.

Need hosting? No problem! Use the link below and sign up with my favorite host, HostGator!

    I’ve been trying some new stuff with my client’s websites as of late.  I wanted something where a multi-blog site could get the most out of as few plugins as possible, and still have a really awesome way to display their author’s main information.  But, the information they ask for doesn’t have everything.  What about…
