Internet domain site Go Daddy is in talks to be sold to private equity firms KKR and Silver Lake for a hefty sum.

None of the groups involved have yet responded to comment from the three outlets cited who reported the development. Even for those who haven't registered a website with Go Daddy, the company may still be on your radar for one reason: its widely-despised TV spots.
