Not necessarily. I used to think that, but it's rather common for the person with the idea to just go and buy the domain on GoDaddy.

Then they'll search for technical people to implement their idea. So being hosted there is not necessarily connected with the people actually doing the work.

I think you may be used to cases where the startup idea generator and implementer is the same person. But it's not always that way.

Yeah, I joined a startup as the first engineer and inherited a GoDaddy registration, which the non-technical founder had purchased. I may have been technically incompetent but the startup's GoDaddy registration had nothing to do with it. :-)
