Go Daddy Shutdown of RateMyCop.com

On March 11, 2008,  Go Daddy shut down RateMyCop.com — a RateMyProfessors-type site where people would comment on their interactions with law enforcement officers. Some reports said there have been complaints from police. A  Go Daddy  spokeperson said, "Basically, he was paying for compact car, when he really needed a semi-truck." The registrar for the name, Name.com, continued to allow the DNS to resolve, and is now hosted at Lunarpages.  Go Daddy  stated the reason for shutting down the Web site had nothing to do with censorship or complaints but that the site was receiving too many simultaneous connections. In 2006  Go Daddy  locked access to the Irish Web site RateYourSolicitor.com after the Irish high court issued an order to remove offensive material about a barrister from the site.


Animal rights
In 2011, animal rights groups including PETA complained when a video of Bob Parsons shooting and killing an elephant at night in Zimbabwe was made by Parsons and posted on his personal blog. In response, Parsons stated "The tribal authorities request that I and others like me, patrol the fields before and during the harvest". PETA said they would be closing their account with Go Daddy.


Go Daddy buys No Daddy
On July 12, 2011, an article in the The Register reported that, shortly after Bob Parsons' sale of  Go Daddy , the company purchased gripe site No Daddy. The site had returned a top 5 result on Google for a search for  Go Daddy .
