Bob Parsons quotes about
The Internet has changed everything. We expect to know everything instantly. If you don't understand digital communication, you're at a disadvantage.
When it comes to the Internet, people like dealing with people.
As the world's largest domain name provider, responsible for more than 11 million domain names, Go Daddy feels an obligation to protect our customers and represent their interests. It's an obligation we share with lawmakers and federal officials, so it is important that we be in Washington, as a base of Internet knowledge for Capitol Hill, the Executive Branch and Federal Regulators.
After 13 revisions, our commercial was finally approved. It aired in a key position Sunday, as the first half of the game was winding down, and it aired by itself, with no other advertisers rubbing up against it. The critics didn't rank it very highly, but the people, the ones who matter, did. People came to see our commercial on the Internet by the thousands and they just keep coming.
The proposed agreement is a bad deal for our customers and the Internet community as a whole. We will fight to convince the ICANN Board of Directors not to accept it.

ICANN must be open and transparent in its actions. We need to see these reports made public and verified by a third party. Internet registrars, service providers and users demand that ICANN be held accountable.
By offering RSS feeds -- which is one of the hottest technologies on the Internet right now -- our customers can subscribe to the exact, updated information they need. RSS is just another example of how Go Daddy(R), in response to customer requests, leveraged the latest Internet technology for our customers' benefit.

Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.
If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.
I've never worked to make money. I understand we've got to eat and all that, but I never said I want to be a multimillionaire or a billionaire. To me, that's of no significance. I work to have the accomplishment.
Like most business people, I want every aspect of my business to be perfect. I know that this goal is unachievable, but it is nevertheless what I strive to achieve .
