I don’t know about you, but I seem to get a ton of emails that have “GoDaddy,” “Go-Daddy,” “Godaddy” or something very similar in the From field. The actual email addresses underlying the From field are not @godaddy.com, but the sender tries to make them appear to be from GoDaddy.
Here’s a screenshot of my Gmail spam folder that was cleared out with the exception of this spammy looking email:
GoDaddy became a household brand by having risque television advertisements shown during the Super Bowl. Recently, the company halted its famous Super Bowl commercial campaigns, focusing on other marketing efforts instead.
I just read a news release announcing that GoDaddy will be advertising during the US Presidential election debates. It is very possible that the debates will draw an even larger US-based audience than the Super Bowl. Obviously, the television spot doesn’t include anything too risque and offers a special price for registering a .com domain name.
According to the news release, “GoDaddy is putting its own twist on political platform satire to encourage all people to believe in their own, individual ideas while passionately pursuing their American dream online.”
The first television spot was uploaded to YouTube this morning, and I embedded it below. I believe the company will be
According to a number of media outlets, Apple and McLaren are possibly discussing some sort of investment or acquisition deal.

After I received a text message that mentioned GoDaddy this past week, I reached out to GoDaddy’s Nick Fuller to ask if it was from GoDaddy. As I suspected, the message was not sent by GoDaddy.
Here’s the content of a text message I received:

If you missed yesterday’s Hangout discussing GoDaddy’s Domain Buy Service, I have embedded the video below. The video is 40 minutes long, and it’s worth a watch if you are considering using GoDaddy’s buy service to acquire a domain name or if you have been approached by a broker about selling one of your domain names.
If you have any questions for GoDaddy representatives, you are welcome to post them in the comment section here or on the YouTube video page. If you have any recommendations for a future GoDaddy Hangout, I am sure they would appreciate hearing them.
For customers who want to buy a specific domain name but don’t really know how to go about doing that, there are a number of services offered by companies like Domain Agents and registrars like GoDaddy and Network Solutions. I would imagine GoDaddy’s Domain Buy Service has considerable volume due to the company’s footprint, although I have only received a couple of inquiries and no closed deals that I can recall.
