Not the person you replied to, but GoDaddy are (or at least, were) pretty infamous for their sleazy and sexist ads, eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi0AqS4e6NI
replySo I can't imagine any serious organisation wanting to do business with them, unless they're a sleazy organisation themselves.

The ad is not sexist, it's sexy/sexualized and humourous, which is something else. And of course it is from 2010, just before the great ... cultural shift.
replyIt just doesn't sound professional, and I wouldn't want some "daddy" in a garage in charge of my domain name.
replyDaddy implies garage? I'm not familiar with that stereotype.
replyAlso namecheap sounds shit, but afaik they have good reputation.
replyThey used to, before they got bought out by private equity and started jacking up the rates. Moved all my domains to porkbun since then.
replyNot so much any more but I don't remember why. At least they started raising prices. Porkbun is the new Namecheap.
replyIf you are set on Namecheap anyway, Spaceship is a suggested replacement. It's run by Namecheap but with a new codebase.
I mean, there was that whole elephant hunting thing...
