I'm just curious (I do not see any bad event in wikipedia: am I missing something?)

That's because they maintain their corporate identity vigorous and do their best to wipe anything bad.

> I do not see any bad event in wikipedia

There is a "Controversies" section of their Wikipedia article with 8 distinct sub-headings, and the section is prefixed with "For a more comprehensive list, see List of controversies involving GoDaddy" linking to another dedicated 15-section article.

Really bad security. They still enable broken ciphers like RC4 via ssh on their shared-hosting web servers. BTW - these servers use CPanel, which runs on CentOS 6 (or a derivative), which is EOL. If your company uses any security scanner, it will flag a lot on GoDaddy.

All the cool kids on HN hate GoDaddy. When prompted to elaborate the usual answer is "cuz they suck" or "I don't like their CEO". I first used GoDaddy about a decade ago, and thought nothing of it. I guess some people just like to hate. (or is it cancel nowadays?)

Ah, I missed that, thanks.

anyhow, imho, I do not see anything that I consider that bad; they are sure selling products that anybody involved in IT may consider at "low level", so avoiding it. I have the same reaction anytime I hear the term "Wordpress", but no doubt is used by so many.
