There’s more reasons to drop GoDaddy than their SOPA support. Here’s my GoDaddy horror story

This graph shows what relying on GoDaddy.com as my domain registrar did for my business.

This week the internet's dominant domain registrar, GoDaddy, angered the online community with its support for SOPA, a badly flawed piece of legislation that is being opposed by nearly every reputable online firm of any size.

I won't go into the many flaws of the laws Congress is considering, or the trail of entertainment industry money that's leading straight to the campaign coffers of Congresscritters. Interested parties can find that elsewhere.

What I want to do here is give my own first-hand account as to why you shouldn't do business with GoDaddy, above and beyond it's long track record of unethical behavior and tendency for in-your-face marketing practices.
