text: Not that this answers the question, but at the bottom of GoDaddy.com you will find, "Copyright ©  1999 - 2014 GoDaddy Operating Company, LLC. All Rights Reserved." -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 10:13, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

text: I don't see "Go Daddy" mentioned anywhere, in official documentation, press, or otherwise. Even Googling for "Go Daddy" (including the quotes, for an exact search) only brings up results with "GoDaddy" without the space. Gary (talk · scripts) 16:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I have contacted Godaddy requesting permission to use their logo in the Wikipedia article. I will update with their response. Spacegeek31 (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Spacegeek31, we don't need permission to upload it as a non-free fair use image and use it in this article only. See this for an example. --NeilN talk to me 14:53, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  then why was the original one that was uploaded removed? Spacegeek31 (talk) 16:11, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Spacegeek31, here? Because it was uploaded to Commons, not Wikipedia. Commons does not accept fair use images, Wikipedia does. Basically the only choice is to upload to Wikipedia as there's no way Go Daddy will release their logo under a free license. --NeilN talk to me 17:27, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

 Headline: Danica Patrick losing GoDaddy as primary car sponsor

QUOTE: "Phil Bienert, the chief marketing officer at GoDaddy, told the AP it was strictly a business decision as data showed the company "we are past brand marketing in the U.S." He added that GoDaddy is working on a personal services contract with Patrick, who is considered one of the most of recognizable drivers in the world. "Danica transcends racing and is a real source of inspiration," he said. "We are working now to see what our relationship looks like going forward." Bienert also said Patrick's "record-setting season makes it tough to leave this motorsports sponsorship, without a doubt." Patrick has two top-10 finishes this season and ranks 16th in points. She has had GoDaddy as an associate sponsor since 2007. The company has been her main backer since the 2010 IndyCar season when she was with Andretti Autosport." -- Narnia.Gate7 (talk) 13:55, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I am thinking about adding a section on GoDaddy and Neo-nazi content. The website Rightpedia owned by Eleonóra Dubiczki, which is a neo-Nazi online encyclopedia with extremely racist articles is being hosted by GoDaddy from 2015 and still hosted by them as of 2018. 
Rightpedia appears to be a split-off group from the infamous Metapedia, which is covered on Wikipedia. In regard to other neo-Nazi racist websites, GoDaddy was hosting The Daily Stormer, but banned them in 2017. References for this , , , . This has been well documented in news sources. Is it possible to add a section on this? I decided to comment here instead of jumping onto the article and adding it. Let me know. Leftwing Guy (talk) 17:04, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Wordfence: "It appears that GoDaddy was storing sFTP credentials either as plaintext, or in a format that could be reversed into plaintext. They did this rather than using a salted hash, or a public key, both of which are considered industry best practices for sFTP. This allowed an attacker direct access to password credentials without the need to crack them."
"During the period from September 6, 2021, to November 17, 2021, the sFTP and database usernames and passwords of active customers were accessible to the attacker. "
