    I meant that this is just going to cause problems. Do I really need to explain it? When things change ownership, it usually ends badly.

    Not always, the VPS company I use has changed ownership in the past few months and things have turned out OK...

    But godaddy is a multi-billion dollar company. I'm not saying this will be the end of godaddy, I just think that there is going to be changes, not so good changes.

    the only changes I would probably see would most likely be price rises but we won't know until we see things happen. I think their CEO is the same so I can't see any changes happening any time soon

    I don't have any feelings towards this as long as my domains are safe, I don't care who owns the mother-ship.

    So anyways - now that Godaddy has been sold for a few months now - what does everyone think? Are the new owners good?

    I still have over 50 domains through them and 3 of my servers, all work exactly the same as prior to the sale.
