Did you|anyone expect anything else from GoDaddy?

I do occasional WEB consulting and I warn clients that I have to charge extra if they are hosting any of their resources at Godaddy.

Every time i need to interact with their resources to do anything productive - it is a minefield of upsells at every step and wasted time trying to find simple things.

I had the opportunity to interact with some of the new execs at GoDaddy and the culture was definitely shifting. But Virb's numbers just couldn't compare to GoDaddy's own site builder. Virb was a drop in the bucket compared to the user base they already had.
