Hi Mark. To be honest, I don't know what makes gandi.net better than godaddy in terms of raw functionality / features.// What made me seek out an alternative domain registrar is GoDaddy's sleazy and sexist advertising campaign. I feel it reinforces the unfortunate behaviors of a minority of programmers and reinforces the "Revenge of the Nerds" culture which both discourages women from becoming programmers and dehumanizes the ones that do become programmers.
I could say more about this, but this reply is already starting to go into OT territory! On 09/03/2014 10:02 AM, Mark Phillips wrote: > Robert, > > Just curious how gandi.net is better than godaddy.
