Will now Godaddy be able to gain it’s reputation back?

As you all know that Godaddy’s previous owner Bob Parsons was facing a lot of criticism on his act of killing an Elephant and than sharing the entire shooting video on twitter with his followers. As a result many domainers decided to boycott Godaddy and started to transfer their domains our of Godaddy to other registrars.

Other registrars were also giving huge discounts to all of those who transfer their domains from Godaddy to their company.

But now as Godaddy was sold to a private equity for a massive 2.25 billion dollar recently, i think they will be able to gain their reputation back. But as per reports Bob Parsons will continue to serve as the CEO of Godaddy.

This is not the only bad point of Godaddy. Godaddy is also facing a lot of criticism for their web hosting services. The recently launched 4GH hosting by Godaddy is proved to be a marketing gimmick only. Their servers are notoriously overloaded and slow. As Godaddy is now under a completely new management, we do hope that their web hosting services will improve to much extent.

Bob Parsons sold Godaddy to a private equity firm

Godaddy the world’s largest registrar and web host by number of domains manged had been in process of selling from the past few weeks. Ultimately after endless talks, a private equity firm KKR, Silver Lake and Technology Crossover Ventures made a deal of purchasing Godaddy for 2.25 billion$.

The new owners are expecting to make 1.1 billion dollar in revenue this year as the Internet is getting bigger as times passes. More and more websites are getting added to this web world and the most basic part of a website is the “DOMAIN”.

Godaddy group was founded by Bob Parsons in 1997 who will continue to serve as it’s CEO. The company is based in Scottsdale, Arizona and manages more than 48 million domainsĀ  and also is one of the worlds largest web host.

Godaddy is famous for it’s coupon codes which helps many domainers and webmasters to get domains at a very cheap prices as compared to other registrars like Network Solutions aka NETSOL. Not only this Godaddy also have a special auction wing which is used by many professional domainers worldwide to sell their domains. Their expired domain auctions are one of the best where you can pick a aged domain at prices much lower than the original renewal cost.

Nokia to make a comeback with N9

Nokia at a event in Singapore announce the launch of the all new Nokia N9, a MeeGo based smart phone. N9 will be the latest mobile phone of the N series. Previous N series mobile N8 was a huge success because of the multimedia features it provides like a 12MP camera with Xenon Flash. The major difference between Nokia N8 and N9 are listed below:

  1. Nokia N9 is a fully touch phone means it will not have single button on it’s entire body.
  2. Nokia N9 is powered by a Linux based MeeGo operating system which is much better than Symbian.
  3. Nokia N9 will feature a less powerful camera than N8. It will be equipped with a 8MP camera and a LED flash.

According to me the major difference is the MeeGo OS. MeeGo is definitely much better than Symbian in terms of interface and functionality. A particular feature of this phone known as swipe is the most interesting one (You can see this in the video.)

As far as design is concerned Nokia N9 is crafted from a single Polycarbonate piece. This Polycarbonate material is actually helps the phone in getting a good signal quality and less call drops (Nokia claims).

Nokia N9 specifications are listed below in a image:
