Why we're using GoDaddy in the first place is beyond me, surely there's better options available (Like ones that don't support SOPA or have CEOs that shoot elephants).

@jimmy_wales: I am proud to announce that the Wikipedia domain names will move away from GoDaddy. Their position on #sopa is unacceptable to us. https://twitter.com/#!/jimmy_wales/status/150287579642740736

Everybody there seem to know whatever evil thoughts GoDaddy said, but there's no reference supporting that.

It may have been originally registered at GoDaddy 11 years ago, or could have provided a better deal than the pondered competitors at some point in the past.
I remember that a long time ago there were different registrars for the domains, but they were later homogenized to a single one.

Until a few moments ago, http://support.godaddy.com/godaddy/go-daddys-position-on-sopa/ contained a strong statement of support for SOPA. I don't have a screen capture, but I quite definitely read it.

Also, "Go Daddy No Longer Supports SOPA" (the title of their press release) implies they did before, doesn't it?

Firmly:
We contacted GoDaddy for comment. A spokesman declined to comment on the boycott specifically, but reiterated the firm's support for the legislation.
Update (6:18 PM): GoDaddy seems unimpressed by the boycott so far. They made the following statement to Ars Technica: "Go Daddy has received some emails that appear to stem from the boycott prompt, but we have not seen any impact to our business. We understand there are many differing opinions on the SOPA regulations."
Update (December 23): Barely 24 hours after the boycott started, GoDaddy now says it has dropped its support for SOPA.
