Their handling of the issue on Twitter was enough for to decide to move my domain names away from them when their renewal is due.

For those that missed it, an employee handling their twitter account offered nudes as compensation for the outage.

  No they didn't, they were referencing the "shame" scene, and even included a gif, from Game of Thrones. In context, them saying "who do you want to see naked" is obviously not offering to send nudes, but who do you want to see punished. The worst part was the CEO getting on twitter and mocking the person who had originally complained about the outage on twitter.

    Anyone not familiar with GoT could certainly have easily misinterpreted that though.

Just a heads up, and forgive me if this is obvious, but you can move right away, the expire date will be the same anyway. You certainly don't want a failed migration too close to the expiration date.

The last I looked at them for either hosting or domain, they had a provision in their TOS that basically said they could terminate my account at any time if I did anything they felt was morally wrong. I emailed them and asked if what I was reading was true and they confirmed it. I never looked at them again. They probably thought their no-BS morally-right stance was supposed to comfort me, and it's not like I host anything that would likely meet that criteria. But who is to say a blog post has cursing in it that they decide, at their sole discretion, to be bad? Or speak up on abortion in a way they don't agree with? Or any of the other morally-charged topics out there? I'm not hosting with the thought police and it's always made me wonder how others felt comfortable with them.
