Small Business vs Go Daddy
We’re small business America waiting to be helped by big business America.
If you’ve seen my website lately you’ll see the Go Daddy girl and not my bunny. Our website has been down since Saturday and we’re still waiting for Go Daddy to help us get back on the web.
Who on earth is Go Daddy you ask? Go Daddy is a web hosting company and I’ve been with them since I started my business. Back then they were a small business too. Then, from what I’ve heard they took out a Super Bowl ad, hired Danica Patrick (a race car driver) to be the “Go Daddy girl” and their business boomed. Go Daddy is now the sponsor for Danica at Nascar.
Until this week it’s been smooth sailing at Go Daddy, but I pay attention to how a company responds when there’s a problem. Nothing at all against Danica, but I guarantee if her website went down they’d have it fixed by now.
For those of you who took advantage of our sale and placed your order before the crash, thank you many times over for your orders. For those of you who wanted to place an order and couldn’t, I’ll extend the sale dates as soon as our site is up and running again. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer. Who knows…maybe the owner of Go Daddy has a wife who happens to be a quilter…then I can get back to drawing for quilts instead of this blog!
Back soon to talk about all things quilting (I hope)!

I’ve been trying to get your site for days…weeks? Seems like it anyhow. So today when I was directed to Go Daddy, I was a bit confused. But it said it is a parking place for websites, so I decided this must be where the bunnies are resting. I feel so bad for you, hope someone comes to your rescue soon so you can get your business back up and running!

I’m patient…getting UFOs done while I wait to order for a new project!! Extra tummy rubs for Chelsea! And, as a cat lover of course Pumpkin needs extra behind the ear scratches!

Please call the guys at websites for quilters. They are a quilting family. Mom and Dad own superior threads
