GoDaddy CTO and Cloud VP Heads to Google

Unqualified comment, I admit, but GoDaddy as well as other domain shops seem to be stuck in the late 90s. With UI, tech and support quality. Also Namecheap, which I'm using primarily. They just put a fresh UI on top of parts of their customer acquisition facing system couple of years ago and still run the same core system.

It's more interesting why Google hired her. I agree with statements above that GoDaddy is someting from 90s. GoDaddy isn't famous for tech innovations. What's kind of expertise potentially she can bring to Google?

A bit unrelated, but I'm curious how GoDaddy is so big. All their products are overpriced and they don't sell anything you can't get somewhere else at a better price. Their tools are just as user-friendly as any other service as well.

One of the happiest days of my life was when I finally migrated 100+ personal domains away from GoDaddy over to Namecheap and was able to close my GoDaddy account forever.

Now it makes sense why Elissa is on the CNCF TOC.

Mildly related - whatever happened to Nodejitsu after Godaddy ate them?

So now we can expect annoying up sells and unsolicited pressure marketing whenever we buy or register for a Google product?<p>The last straw for me with Godaddy is when they started sending me e-mails warning me my &quot;domain was not secure&quot; trying to get me to buy some phony domain secure service with a bundled drag and drop website builder. No thanks.

Good choice.
