GoDaddy Acquires Dan.com
GoDaddy has been buying up companies for years.

.TV Switching to GoDaddy Registry
The island of Tuvalu got lucky when they were assigned the two letter country code “tv”.

Branding is one of those things that many companies spend a lot of time and energy on. It goes from the company’s logo down to the choice of font on the notepaper. GoDaddy’s logo, up until yesterday, was highly recognisable and hadn’t changed much since the company launched over 20 years ago. The new logo… Continue reading GoDaddy Unveils New Branding
