5. As they should.

It violates their privacy terms... and every other term of human decency.

6. I was waiting for this. Good!

[VarryOn]

7. Ok Twitter, FB, and Google...your turn! Nt

8. You mean, GoDaddy

[packman]

9. At last, some common sense

[Cozmo]

10. I feel so good!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. Good. GoDaddy hosted lots of questionable sites, but they're doing the right thing here. Good.

[hamsterjill]

12. Probably for non payment!!! LOL

Glad to see some impact being made. Good news!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

13. GoDaddy!!!

F...Absolutely F Talibexastan and their shithole Governor!

[Traildogbob]

16. Talibexastan😂😂😂

That brought a gut laugh after 2 hours of weed eating. Thank you.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

21. You're more than welcome, Bob. It flows nicely, I think.

Did a spit take of my own when it popped into my head.

[Traildogbob]

26. 👏👏👏

Great! I stopped using thumbs up. Trump and GQP ruined that, like everything they touch. Even our flag. 2022 elections should be one thing. Let GQP steal the election, and the country will be just like Texas and Florida. Ya have a choice, for now! That is if we are alive. Watching College ball last night and the UNC game is Blacksburg Va right now there are Literally 100,000 plus at each game. Packed like a trump rally, and one the size Trump claims they are each time. Not one damn mask, screaming waving flags spreading the toxic stew. After this weekend, we may be done. And Texas packs em in for High School, College and Pro. Then travel across the country for visiting teams. Not enough horse paste for what’s coming.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

35. "Not enough horse paste..."

My turn for a gut laugh!

[calimary]

44. No kidding! Me too! Thank you, Traildogbob!

That’s likely to become the next buzz phrase: “not enough horse paste”!

[Deep State Witch]

14. They Used GoDaddy?

Seriously? Did they not want to use a Texas state web host?

[Pinback]

22. They're a private org., not part of the state govt.

Glad to see the pressure on GoDaddy worked so quickly. They were probably shedding customers like crazy.

There were other reasons to avoid them already, so hopefully this awakens the unaware to consider other hosting companies.

[ZonkerHarris]

29. not unless they want bad headlines and a huge boycott

[crickets]

15. Good!

Here's hoping Texas Right to Life can't find another web host. No company should be hosting or aiding vigilantes.

[StarryNite]

17. GoDaddy Go!

[FakeNoose]

18. Somebody will host them - wait and see

Doesn't Rebekkah Mercer have a web hosting setup now?
Just sayin'

[fescuerescue]

32. Yea. Ever Parler found a new host.

There's alot of questionable stuff on the Internet and every questionable site has a host.

[yaesu]

19. I'm sure putin would be glad to host his comrades on one of his servers or maybe the taliban. nt

20. I was looking at a hipaa summary page

and it also looked like the whistle blower site could come under the definition of a "health care clearinghouse".

[sir pball]

23. Good first move. Next, Google Cloud/AWS/Azure

Google, Amazon, and Microsoft should take a long, hard look at any services they provide the State of Texas...just sayin'.

[SheltieLover]

25. This!👆

24. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

28. That is a beautiful thing!

Way to Go Daddy!

[NQAS]

30. Good

I have quite a few domain registrations with them. I was going to rally up what I’ve paid them and tell them I would switch services. Glad they made the right decision.

The problem now is that they’re going to end up hosting on a rw company site, and it’s been shown in the past that security is appalling on these sorts of sites. And we can imagine what is then likely to happen.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

31. It's back online

The site is up and running again. No idea who the new webhost is.

[LeftInTX]

34. Looks the same as last night to me...

Go Daddy is still hosting prolifewhistleblower.
The tipline doesn't load and I get a warning from godaddy if I try to click "Join the team"

A company call sucuri hosts Texas Right to Life main site...

[spooky3]

33. They aren't "whistleblowers." They don't deserve that term. Nt

[meow2u3]

43. They AREN'T whistleblowers--they're snitches! nt

[Blue Owl]

36. Who's your daddy?

Oh... wait -- that question might be best left unanswered...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. This is just the start.

[AverageOldGuy]

40. Yes, but . . .

46. Looks like it's blocked now.

[MrModerate]

41. GoDaddy is very, very sleazy...

But if you kick them hard enough, you can get them to do the right thing.

42. Screw GoDaddy - Sold out their customers to Microsoft

Great that they booted the Texas A-holes, but they are the worst.

Until this week, I had been a GD customer for 15 years and given them $1700 in fees. I got an email from them that they were migrating me to Microsoft 365 email. WTF? When I signed up for the domain, they gave me one free email account. I made it my main email and used it for everything. I even set up a "catch all" feature that allowed any email sent to the domain to be forwarded to another email. EX: [e-mail] I used that for most of my e-commerce and that process came in very handy for monitoring spam and even helped me investigate a black mail attempt. When the email came in for Bitcoin extortion, I knew exactly what company had a security breach (ticketfly!).

I called GD to confront them and get the full picture of their email switch, as their email was deceiving. They offered free trial of MS 365 product, but what happens after the trial? Sure enough, monthly charge. Then next year the monthly charge would double. Their CS person was useless, but i dont blame her. "Well at least you had free mail". Really - that is your sales pitch for MS365? I spent hours going back and switching emails for all my web contacts because the MS product did not offer "catch alls". I had x hours to complete the job or those accounts would be unusable. So now the MS cloud product has been given access to +5years of all my emails on the server. I never agreed to that and was never interested in their offering.

I moved all my remaining GD domains to Namecheap and am waiting for that go through. I lose my favorite email, but at least NC will allow catchalls to be forwarded. I had already moved all my hosting to other services in the past because GD renewals were too expensive and not competitive with other offerings. You are not a customer to them, you are a hostage.

GoDaddy caused me significant stress, took my time to work around their greed and forced me to spend money immediately on an alternate service. I also take umbrage to the claim I was getting something free. The only reason I was paying for their overpriced domains was to keep that email.

They sold out their customers for a MS deal. They made it seem like paying $70/ yr compared to free was no big deal. I have other GD stories, but this has already gone on too long. AND ALL THIS WAS OVER ONE EMAIL ACCOUNT!.. Something Google gives away for free!
