Elephants & Domain Names

I am a loyal client of GoDaddy and their price club BlueRazor, but i was really shocked when i lately discovered that GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons went on an African vacation and shot an elephant and recorded the whole thing on video.

A video of Parsons shooting an elephant in Zimbabwe made the rounds, causing the domain registry company to become a Google hot topic and the subject of criticism. Leading the charge is PETA, the animal rights group, which has closed its account with GoDaddy and is asking others to follow suit.

The misfortune of some makes the happiness of others, when NameCheap a competitor of GoDaddy, was fast enough taking advantage and offering transfers of .com, .net and .org from GoDaddy to them for $4.99- and 20% of the process going to SaveTheElephants.com. Namecheap ended up raising $20,433-
