The company has pulled down a post that outlined the reasons it supported SOPA in the first place, in order to “eliminate any confusion” about its position. This leaves a grand total of zero Internet companies on the House’s official list of SOPA supporters. [godaddy.] I’ve been meaning to leave GoDaddy for a while so now that other sites are offering SOPA discounts, it’s kind of the perfect time. Their website is impossible to navigate and their advertising is horrible. I’ve moved my domain to Hover and it should go through in a few days. Now to find a new place for hosting because GoDaddy can kiss my ass.
