Ah yes, GoDaddy. They killed my favorite webhost, Media Temple. In the mid 2000s & 2010s (mt) was just about the Apple of webhosts. They had an amazing shared server infrastructure—the grid—that was user friendly and was a great introduction to being a web creator on the internet.

Then GoDaddy bought them, and did nothing useful with them. Nothing. I kinda sat with MT since it was easy to be complacent, but my feathers were ruffled recently once I noticed that GoDaddy started transferring my domains around to start raising my renewal prices. Shady as hell.

I've started to jump ship, but it's not a one click and be done with it process.

Ah man I remember Media Temple. Seeing that little MT logo on a website was like a badge of honor, they were that well regarded.

Yeah, GD certainly killed the culture, quickly too. MT was a magical place to work before GD, thankfully most us benefitted to some degree with the GDDY IPO before promptly leaving.
