YES!!! My servers have been up solid for over a year! You can’t do that with Windows boxes! I have proof by working at the county… Microsoft SUCKS!

My servers run FreeBSD, a free Unix-like Operating system that is currently in use by home users, small business and huge fortune 500 companies, including Yahoo and SonyJapan, and Apple (OSX is loosely based on a version of FreeBSD).

GoDaddy, Inc., the company who brought you risque television commercials during the Super Bowl in 2005 is at it again. For the 2006 NFC playoffs they are airing a commercial that includes the same girl in skimpy clothing that I personally would not want my children to watch. Bob Parsons is the founder of GoDaddy. His blog is at bobparsons.com.

Things I don’t like about GoDaddy.
GoDaddy is probably one of the most popular domain name registration companies in the the world, just short of e-Nom. I do not dislike them because of their size and popularity. No, I dislike them because of their marketing strategies and the founders (Bob Parsons) attitude. The problem with this country today is that, while this country was founded on Christian principles, people like Parsons have no moral character while putting smut on the airways like he does. I personally use GoDaddy for all my domain registrations and my customer domain registrations, but I have been searching for other companies just because of their risque advertising. One other reason I do not like Bob Parsons is because every communications with GoDaddy that you may experience is “signed” by Bob Parsons, Founder of GoDaddy. How about signing it with “The GoDaddy Team”. It seems to me Mr. Parsons has a power trip going on that has his head the size of the Hindenburg. Maybe one of these days it will come crashing down, just like the real Hindenburg did. Anyhow in my business, even though I am the only employee, once I grow enough to hire empoyees we will be a team.
