GoDaddy a little evil

 

    A few weeks ago I've met Ksenia Oustiougova which is building a company to help kids learn through mobile devices.

 

    Anyway, I went to her website http://lilipip.com and for a minute I thought I had mistyped the URL because it showed a GoDaddy "parked domain" page. You know, one of those they try to make money out of people that bought a domain but didn't put up a website yet?

 

    So I double checked her business card and the address was correct, just missing the "www".

 

    Heck, GoDaddy didn't configure her DNS properly and they are "hijacking" part of her traffic. You don't have to understand what I'm saying, just believe me, it's wrong and they will have some lame excuse that Ksenia forgot to change something or misconfigured her DNS. It's BS. DNS can be quite complicated for non-technical people, and even for people that are technical.

 

    For the record, her company address is www.lilipip.com (don't forget the www)
