I’ve been on namecheap for a long time. They have a sale going on now. But they are really good, hardly ever a problem and if there is, their customer service is stellar.

Give me a 100 word summary of the controversies surrounding GoDaddy and its founder.

GPT-4: GoDaddy, a popular web hosting service, and its founder Bob Parsons have been involved in several controversies. Criticism often targets GoDaddy’s provocative advertising strategies, which some deem sexist. Parsons himself has faced backlash for his elephant hunting video in 2011, which many viewed as unethical and sparked a wave of customer boycotts. Additionally, GoDaddy’s initial support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in 2011 provoked outrage for potentially threatening internet freedom, leading to a significant customer exodus until the company reversed its position.

I have had a really good experience with Porkbun. You could also use Cloudflare. But since this is going to be work-related, Cloudflare all of the way.

I use namecheap – I got my two most recent domains for less than $8 apiece – but I hear good things about Google domains as well.

Google sold their domains (and customers in the process to, I think it was square space)… Definitely just go with namecheap, they support the EFF, have a good website, and reasonable prices
