What does that mean for QBN? Isn't this site on some kind of partnership?

GoDaddy intends to operate as a separate business, staffed by MT’s 225 existing employees, rather than integrating into GoDaddy’s existing operations, which currently serve 12 million customers with over 4,000 employees.

We will continue operating as an independent and autonomous company and our mission will remain unchanged. However, new investments from GoDaddy will provide us the necessary resources to strengthen our focus on web professionals and will help accelerate our plans to expand internationally. http://weblog.mediatemple.net/20…

Made me think of http://www.marketingmag.ca/uncat… and the years of the "Hosting Provided by Media Temple," half of which was always just a splash page. Looks like he's doing alright for himself these days.

So, actually, they continue to be a separate company. Are people freaking out for the wrong reasons in the FB comments to that original post?

Let's all not forget that GoDaddy was very pro SOPA until they realized that it was a massively unpopular position with users of "the Internet"

no idea whether there is any coherence, but »life« in »hosting for life« recently turned out not to refer to my life but to the server's. and now it dies by end of the year, so i have to move away from mt and look for an affordable alternative, which is a real pity. of course i wouldn't complain about a gift anyway, but i actually can't share any discontent. everything worked fine with the server and i always received good and fast support from mt over the years.
