I just think you'd write the code for a website, very primitive, but you'd have a website. So we'd do that. And then the next step was where things looked like they were gonna, Joe is, every website needs a domain name, needs an address. needs seanryan.com, right?

So then what we did was I found that I went to all the website companies, I mean, all the domain companies, and they were all a pain in the ass to deal with. So we had one of our engineers went ahead and just filled the applications to do that for us so we could become a domain name registrar.

And a domain name registrar is not in a sense where you take and you have to buy a bunch of domain names to resell, although you could do that. It's more like the DMV selling vanity license plates. Once you get a vanity license plate at the DMV, it's yours as long as you pay the annual fee. That's the way domain names work.

The only difference is you have companies that can do that, and they're called domain name registrars. So we started doing that. And then what happened was the dot-com boom. And the dot-com boom, there was so much noise for the dot-com boom, nobody didn't even pay attention to you. Not even close. And so...

I mean, the noise, you could see like these Super Bowl, stupid Super Bowl ads where they were playing a piano like chopsticks because they didn't have time to run an ad, but they bought it. I mean, make an ad and stuff like that. And it got to the point where it got to be, it just got to be stupid. And then... What happened was when I did that, I had about 38 million. I split it with my wife.

She deserved every nickel she got. And I moved to Arizona, best move I ever made. And I then worked on making this company work and renamed it GoDaddy. And then the way that came about was I was just, you know, the name Jomax Technologies is just very forgettable, means nothing. GoDaddy doesn't mean much more, but at least it's fun and easy to remember.

And so me and a gal that I still work with, we come up with that one night. After about a third night, we tried it. It's Fat Daddy, take it. Big Daddy, take it. GoDaddy, using the AOL Go keyword and the word daddy available. Bought it for $8.95. Damn. Yeah. And so that's what I did. And I started with $38 million. And then I started losing money.
