GoDaddy.com For Sale, You Can't Afford It
The popular domain name registry GoDaddy.com is reportedly up for sale via an auction format, The Wall Street Journal reports. If you're interested, you better liquidate that Lamborghini and sell your Microsoft stock, because the domain is expected to command at least $1 billion.
GoDaddy ranks as the world's largest domain name registrar and currently manages more than 43 million domains. The registrar also sells e-commerce, security, and other online services to people and businesses. All told, the company pulled in revenue between $750 million and $800 million in 2009.
The Scottsdale, Arizona company is owned by founder Bob Parsons, who helped bring the registrar to prominence through a series of sexy ads featuring the GoDaddy Girls, one of which is race car driver Danica Patrick.

I hope it stays here, we sure can't afford to lose yet another employer. It's actually one of the few employers in the valley that hasn't been raided by Sheriff Joe Arpiao for illegally hiring illegal aliens. In Arizona you have to prove that you have a legal right to work in the USA and there are thousands of employers in Arizona that steal identities and provide illegitimate identification to illegal aliens. Hell, some employers only hire illegals exclusively. You might think it's a victim less crime, that is, until it's your identity that gets used to get a job, purchase a car, a house, get several credit cards that don't get paid for.
So yeah, I hope they stay right here and I didn't know GoDaddy was in any kind of financial trouble.
