Domains from Go Daddy to Register.com — PETA Moves

Animal rights group moves domain names to competitor.

Making good on its promise, PETA has moved its domains (well at least peta.org) away from Go Daddy. The domain name is now registered at Register.com.

This whole elephant shooting video is obviously a hotly debated subject.

Some are arguing this is a different type of controversy than Go Daddy’s commercials.

I’m not so sure, and we’ll see how this plays out.

But I’m reminded of Bob Parsons’ keynote at DOMAINfest last month. I’m paraphrasing from memory here. Basically he stated there are people who really like you or your business, a bunch who are ambivalent, and then a modest minority who really hate you.

It’s those that really hate you that are your key to success. Keep them drummed up.
