The real meat of it is their hosting services. Persuading people to make a move that involved is much harder. ~$10/year vs $60-120 is a big difference.

Another thing that makes a difference is convincing businesses and individuals with a lot of domains to move. There was someone on Reddit who managed domains for his/her employer and was planning on talking to their marketing department about moving their ~1,000 domains off GoDaddy.

They didn’t care when people left in droves after the CEO had a video of him shooting elephants last April, and I doubt they’ll care about people leaving SOPA. The problem is that not enough people even know what SOPA is or cares. 20,000 out of 50 million is nothing. Unfortunately.
