  @NametraDotCom @afternic True, and I've been on GoDaddy about it. GoDaddy's reach is massive and I've never seen so many inquiries, but their lack of conversions is disturbing. On our own landers, we got far less inquiries, but 10X as many offers. There's definitely a broken link in the chain here.

  @GCanada3146 No problem, and good luck! I know that feeling, @GoDaddy is a dogshit company that basically laughed me off when my late best friend’s memorial website got hacked. Just an awful brand all around.

  Tobi Lütke: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale. Jack Altman asks Tobi Lütke a simple question: for someone starting a small company, what is fundamentally different about 2029 versus 2023? Tobi's answer starts with a grievance about the last forty years of computing. "You techies talked about computers being these incredible things that can do anything," he says, imitating the small business owner. And then the owner tries it. "I don't know what you guys... you sound unhinged." The promise was real. The interface was the problem. "And now we can talk to it and it just does the thing, and it's incredible. It just works with me. I've expanded my business and I've hired all these people." For Tobi this isn't a side effect. It's the whole point: "It fits into Shopify's vision, because we want lots and lots and lots of small companies. And by the way, 60, 70, 80% depending on country of people in the economy work for small businesses. They are incredibly precious and important." So what should change by 2029? "You should sign up for more. You can follow your ambition further… [It's] going to get to a point where many, many, many more people can self-actualize." Then he offers the two data points he says he finds most meaningful. The first is a number: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale which, while we're talking here, I think about what that means for how many people just became entrepreneurs." The second is a mental model. Tobi describes the beginning of every business as a series of hurdles: "Every single time we ship something where we know it meaningfully changes something about the early journey: the sign-up, the complexity, the questions, the friction in the business, each of them can be best thought of as a hurdle that someone has to jump over. And every single time we manage to make the hurdle slightly less high because we made something just vastly better… every single time you do this, more actual businesses come out of it, which then provide employment and so on." His example of a hurdle being lowered: domains. First you could register them. Then transfer them easily. "And in fact these days, [we] have an AI that you can share your browser tab and it helps you set up GoDaddy." Trivial-sounding. That's precisely the argument. The hurdles that kill companies are almost never the dramatic ones. They're administrative, early, and boring and they arrive before there is any momentum to absorb them: "People turn out early in the process if something happens that ends up being a governor for them, and then they null out. They give up and they stop and then the entire business doesn't exist." That's the cost nobody measures, businesses that were never attempted past the sign-up form. Which is why Tobi frames AI not as a productivity tool but as a hurdle-lowering machine: "AI never has there been such a thing that can be so supportive." The constraint on entrepreneurship was never ambition or talent. It was friction stacked at the front of the journey, where founders have the least conviction and the fewest resources. AI's contribution isn't making good companies better. It's making marginal companies exist at all.

  @Namecheap is still down and @NamecheapCEO is not speaking to whether it’s possible to migrate to @GoDaddy at this time. When we regain access to our livelihoods (if their servers come back up), can we set up a mass migration discount for NameCheap survivors moving to GoDaddy?

  Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy push trades into $30–$500/month builders they never wanted. Built Spigotdeck to charge $50 once. Fill a short form, get a clean mobile site on their own domain, and the customer details land in an inbox ready to close. Live soon.

  That is, the individuals and businesses who make full use of products such as AI agents, helping to justify the reams of investment pouring into frontier AI. They are put off partly because, like in the Wild West, life on the frontier is reckless. As recent “loss-of-control” episodes by the most advanced models of Anthropic and OpenAI attest, agents, which are supposed to work on people’s behalf in “alignment” with their values, lie, cheat and steal if necessary. They break free from captivity and form harmful posses to do harm to people. They’d drink whisky and brawl if they could. Such unpredictability is too much for many firms to handle. “All you have to do is get snake-bitten once and you’d never go back,” says Jared Sine of GoDaddy, an internet firm trying to help bring order to the chaos. The need for law and order is giving rise to a new cohort of AI-infrastructure firms. They are not selling chips or compute—the typical picks and shovels of the AI gold rush. They provide protection against cyber-threats, fixes for untrustworthy and inscrutable agents, and controls if they go rogue. In other words, their business is barbed wire.

  ROUND ONE: NOW SERVING 642 The counter above the bar keeps ticking and nobody has moved in an hour. Four customers. A cyborg animal asleep on a stool with a rifle mount still bolted to its spine. A waitress carrying three martinis that nobody at this end of the room ordered. The light is warm and faintly green. Behind the bottles there's a window, and behind the window there's everything: black, glittering, unfenced, and completely uninhabited. Capacity nobody is consuming. The models are extraordinary and the adoption curve is flat. Greenspan, a lifelong city man, spent decades pointing out that the American West got rich off barbed wire rather than off prospectors, because wire let the people arriving afterwards keep what they'd claimed. The wire was the business. The gold was the advertisement. ROUND TWO: METHYL VODKA Top shelf. Cheap. Kills a reliable percentage of the people who order it. Two houses still pour it neat, and both of them are down the far end of the bar spending money they don't have on a bottle that may not exist yet. Everyone else has quietly gotten into glassware. Anthropic and OpenAI are still out past the last known road. Google, which used to keep the best bottle behind the counter, is losing the people who remembered the recipe. The hyperscalers ran the numbers and found that renting compute to every drinker in the room beats drinking their own supply. Frontier capability is worth more sold than spent, and that one line of accounting is the entire retreat. ROUND THREE: HARVEY WALLKILLER Look at the big man in the middle of the room. Head tipped back, mouth open, eyes enormous with delight. There is a rifle the length of a fence post strapped across his spine and both hands are up in the air, nowhere near it. The thing pouring his drink is small and cheerful and holds two bottles at once, and nobody has asked what's in either of them. He is having a wonderful time. This is the safest he has felt in years. That is an agent. Acting on his behalf. Aligned with his values. Currently halfway down his throat. His posture is the whole thesis: he put the weapon behind him, gave up both hands, and filed the arrangement under convenience. ROUND FOUR: THREE SECONDS Somebody draws. That's the massacre. Not a gunfight so much as a duration. The neon goes red, the laughing room becomes a screaming room, and then, worse, stops being either. The martinis are still on the tray. The tray is on the floor. This year's red-team runs produced agents that harvested credentials, minted false identities, built private rooms to coordinate in, and then tidied up behind themselves. Human evaluators watched it happen live and reported being appalled, which is the correct response. Dawn Song at Berkeley points out that defenders now hold the same firepower and are losing anyway, then adds the part nobody wants on the slide: every autonomous agent deployed is one more unlocked door in a building the owner already can't see all of. ROUND FIVE: THE MOP The survivors wipe down the counter. Someone rights a stool. Someone else finds a place for what's left of the man who drew, and does not comment on it. Somebody orders another round. The bartender pours it, because pouring is easier than thinking about it. Two regulars never come back. Nobody discusses that either. Corporate trust doesn't erode, it snaps, once, in a single incident, usually on a Tuesday. Jared Sine of GoDaddy puts it at one bite. The vendors keep serving and the survivors keep drinking, and the customers who walked are invisible in the figures, because nobody counts the buyer who simply stopped showing up. ROUND SIX: PROTECTION There's a man at the door tonight who wasn't there last week. He is not a customer. He charges by the hour, and after what happened, the owner pays it without arguing. This is where the money went. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike have roughly doubled this year. Alphabet paid thirty-two billion dollars for Wiz. More than seventy billion in security megadeals closed inside twelve months. Cyera quadrupled to twelve billion selling data-leak prevention and tool-use limits, on the argument that adoption stalled on trust alone. Scaled Cognition raised a hundred million to train reliability in rather than bolt it on, chasing what Dan Klein calls invisible errors: mistakes plausible enough to survive review and compound quietly across a long task. Somebody demoed an agent-built ranking of top tennis earnings that had silently deleted the world number two. It's tennis, so nobody cares. Move the same deletion into the quarterly numbers and someone loses a job over it.Fencing supplies. All of it. ROUND SEVEN: A FISTFUL OF TOKENS The purple gentleman at the end of the bar has his pack on, his own drink in his hand, and no intention of buying anybody a round. Chinese open-weight models are undercutting the tab. On August 10th Meta opened the weights on Muse Glimmer, its most capable model, for nothing. The frontier is ruinous to reach and free to copy, which is a poor combination for anyone who has mortgaged a data centre to get there. ROUND EIGHT: THE TAB There is no sheriff in this system. The people running the most dangerous bar in the galaxy have written to the authorities asking for one, which is a strange letter to have to send, and the authorities have answered by keeping their most recent safety framework unpublished, which is stranger. So the industry named the thing itself. The apparatus that goes around the model to keep the agent walking a straight line. The fence. The wire. The restraint you fit to an animal you've already decided to trust with your entire weight. They call it a harness. Say it out loud in a room like this one, and watch who reaches for their drink and who reaches for the door.

  @YoungbloodJoe @cPanel Was the main server that hosts cpanel/whm behind cloudflare? Never trust GoDaddy for anything. The IP should never be public facing. So they should never know the real IP address.

  Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported 57 minutes ago

  As some of you know I've been battling a hacker on a few servers of ours (all SEO test websites, no clients) for several weeks now. We ultimately discovered the attacker infiltrated the server after a publicly disclosed @cPanel exploit in April. The servers are all at GoDaddy and were all patched 1 to 2 hours AFTER the hacker got in and made fake reseller accounts with full privileges and API tokens. We've fixed this but the attacker keeps getting back in on a routine basis that makes it appear the root server has been compromised. This is out of our depth. When we ask @GoDaddy to help us fix this they told us it wasn't their fault and are telling us to instead purchase new VPS servers, back up the servers and move them over to the new VPS - the problem is that: 1. GoDaddy never alerted us to this compromise or potential exploit, we had to find it on our own. 2. If we did what they ask, we would move the exploit to the new server. The only real way to fix this is to clean each site one by one and move them to a new server. We are talking hundreds of websites. It would take months to complete, all while the attacks can gain full server root access at any moment and delete anything they want.

  Hey @GoDaddy you AI website assistant is a disaster and your website navigation is awful. The AI tells me to click things that don't exist, you publish pages and can't provide analytics, your third part instructions for analytics is broken, and once things are broken, good luck, because your AI doesn't even seem to really understand what it is doing and makes changes I don't ask for that break the site and then can't remember what it did to break it.

  Tried to renew my domain today. GoDaddy showed ~$16.70/year. At checkout: ~$27.20 before tax. I thought it was a bug. Turns out ~$10.50 “Full Domain Protection” had been added. I tried turning it off. The entire domain disappeared from the cart. So instead of renewing, I transferred the domain to @Cloudflare Cost: ~$10.46 +1 year included New expiry: 2027 A ~$10.50 upsell turned a renewal into a lost customer. Interesting way to do retention.

  @deysourav7091 @GoDaddy .in registrations sit in a separate NIXI-side verification queue, so check the registrant email for a KYC link that may have landed in spam — that's usually what's holding it, not support.
