    I’ve always found it weird that its called “GoDaddy” and I’ve never heard anyone question it. Like why on earth is that the name of the company?

      I remember the era of “GoDaddy girls” and a different woman on the homepage each month. I actually emailed them feedback that it made me embarrassed to use their service in the workplace.

        OVH is notorious for bad support. I believe they might also have uptime issues.
