I Have Joined GoDaddy – Here’s Why​

December 9, 2022 by James Iles

If you have read DomainNameWire recently, you’ll know that I have decided to join GoDaddy as the company’s first-ever domain name industry community manager. It’s a departure from my role as a writer, and many of my readers may naturally have questions about this move. The obvious being, why has James joined GoDaddy?
It’s difficult to write this article without sounding twee, but essentially, I love the domain name industry, and I love to contribute to the industry. From my 800+ articles on the NamePros blog, to my work with MediaOptions, DomainSherpa, DomainNameWire, and DNAcademy, I’ve always tried to provide information and educational material to help domain investors.
Helping domain investors is something that drew me to GoDaddy. Anyone in the domain industry will be aware of the power of GoDaddy. Domain investors likely interact with the company every day. Whether that is buying domains through closeouts and auctions or managing domain sales on Afternic.

I've enjoyed conversing via email with James over the years, we have had some interesting conversations.

He is open and approachable and even published his new godaddy email address: jiles@goddaddy.com

I enjoy reading his blog and always responsive when you ask him questions regarding his domain findings. Now that he's part of GoDaddy, would like him to be part of DN.ca forum.

I too am a big fan of a lot of James work but I wonder if he can continue to be objective now when it comes talking about Godaddy because they are paying his salary.

No offence to james, but, of course he cant... but at least we'll all understand that too.
