I was initially disgusted with this news. GoDaddy was the worst. I emailed their "questions@" address they mentioned in the press release and let them know:
"Godaddy? Really? They are truly and literally the worst ones i've ever dealt with.
C.R.E.A.M. Dolla dolla bills yall."I received a response within minutes from Lindsay who I then began a discussion with regarding my concerns over the possible degradation of service. She was very open and transparent with any of my questions and it didnt take me long to at least offer up a slightly more positive response to her.
"let me rephrase my email in a more positive note. :)
Congrats on the GoDaddy stuff. I know its easy to be swept up and cloud myself in the swirling critical opinions based on the whole image and back-history aspect of GoDaddy, but I do truly hope this is for the best and wish you guys nothing but success.
I look forward to remaining a customer to see how things go. Above all, i appreciate the open & honest communication you guys have always provided, and it seems you are keeping true to that, even in what must be a storm of opposition.
Much respect, and all the very best."
She was awesome and came back with:
"Thanks for the kind words Nate! I assure that nothing is going to change here, we will still be the (mt) Media Temple you know and love. I have worked here for almost 4 years and if I thought this acquisition was going to change (mt) Media Temple into something else, I would have bailed. I was skeptical at first but now that I have met everyone and see the changes that GoDaddy is actively making, I officially drank the Kool-aid. :)
You have my email address now and if at any time you feel like we are changing, shoot me an email and I will see what I can do. Take care!"
I am less worried.
Running 3 separate managed DV 4.0 packages. Rarely have issues, and when i do they were caused by my things out of anyones control. And even in those cases, they do what they can to assist me.
