Christian groups are leaving GoDaddy.

Christian groups that have their websites hosted on GoDaddy are leaving because of the Superbowl ads for GoDaddy.

This is a letter from Brain Harrell, who manages over 160 Christian groups on GoDaddy.

We have clients leaving GoDaddy e-mail and servers due to your non-Christian advertising and exploitation of females in your advertising.

We currently have over 160 domains with you.

Please re-think how your morals and values are looking to the public. It seems that the GoDaddy President seems like a bit of a sex addict or pervert.

I'm assuming you will just respond in "corporate speak" that "I'm sorry you feel that way. It was not our intention to offend (translation to blah blah blah) and we will take your comments under advisement (meaning we will delete your email shortly as we really don't give a crap about morals and Christians, only sales, no really, we don't give a crap.)

I have been in marketing for over 25 years and you really should PRINT this and bring this to your management meeting and read it word-for-word (what really will happen? You will bring it up at the meeting maybe, and everyone will laugh like crazy but inside they know this is a disease that will keep eating at the foundation of GoDaddy until someday it does some serious damage - or when you ALL have to be judged for your sins when you die)

Sincerely,
Brian Harrell

Never did like Godaddy. That last ad was MEGA bad taste. I felt sorry for the spokeswoman and I bet at the end of the day of shooting.. she did also.

Any client I had.. I instantly moved them off to cheaper more robust unlimited hosting.

Christian groups that have their websites hosted on GoDaddy are leaving because of the Superbowl ads for GoDaddy.

GoDaddy has been advertising like this for years, at least the last 2-3 superbowls. I wonder what took them so long to act if they felt so offended at the advertising?

on the flip side, according to GoDaddy, the advertising must be working.

The spots are incredibly lucrative. According to The Arizona Republic, the Scotsdale, Arizona company's hometown paper, GoDaddy's ads last Sunday resulted in a flood of new customers -- a 110 percent increase over the number of orders it received after the 2008 Super Bowl.

When you buy Godaddy.. you buy a hyped experience for a simple service.

Kind of like buying your groceries in Vegas for a higher price just so you can walk under some bright lights.
