Los Angeles, CA - Web hosting provider DreamHost Web Hosting (dreamhost.com), announced on  Friday it has decided to merge with Go Daddy corporation. The new company will be named Go Dream Daddy Host (GoDream-DaddyHost.com).

A related Go Daddy Press Release said:

“What we really want to achieve is a top ranking blog,” said Go Daddy CEO and founder Bob Parsons. Traffic to blog.dreamhost.com has been beating us, except during superbowls, consistently since 2004. With Josh Jones and company we can take it up a notch with the younger, hipper thing. Their Ninja theme fits my military background, and let's face it, DreamHost, like Go Daddy Girls,                                                       personifies the definition of GoDaddy-esque, which is edgy, racy and a touch inappropriate.”

“Our business is based on providing the best possible service at the lowest possible price. This strategy requires us to maximize all of our resources, particularly our technology assets,” said Sage Weil, DreamHost president and COO. “And those Go Daddy Girls are really hot.”

Nobody really noticed last year when we moved more than 240,000 hosted domains to Cygwin on a Microsoft Windows server platform. So, we figured why not go for it,” said Dallas Bethune, CTO. "It greatly simplifies the development of dynamic websites, fits in perfectly with the range of services we already offer, and those Go Daddy Girls are really hot."

“I thought I had enough problems with one blog to police,” said Jeff Campbell, Abuse Department spokesman, “so handling two company blogs will be a major challenge. But I do look forward to complaints about the Go Daddy Girls, who are really hot.”
