alt Hacker NewsWhat’s your beef? The name? Because I’ve been super happy with porkbun but damn, that name… and then the official-sounding ones like network solutions are quite shady. don’t judge a registrar by its name I guess.

It just doesn't sound professional, and I wouldn't want some "daddy" in a garage in charge of my domain name.

I mean, there was that whole elephant hunting thing...
Not the person you replied to, but GoDaddy are (or at least, were) pretty infamous for their sleazy and sexist ads, eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi0AqS4e6NI
So I can't imagine any serious organisation wanting to do business with them, unless they're a sleazy organisation themselves.
