Go Daddy Reviews
I love Godaddy, I have been with them for over 5 years because they have great customer service and they are always available when I need help.
I have three domains registered with godaddy,and I am using their service for last three years,and their service is really good.Most important thing is that I get a lot of free stuff with just a single domain.Not only that my websites loads fast with godaddy,and I love that.But one thig I want to say that for Indian customers paying for godaddy is a headache,they only support credit card,I think they should include CCavenue as a payment option,so many of users like us can pay charges easily.Apart from this flaw godaddy is the best domain/web hos provider ever.
Godaddy has provided a all around excellent customer experience that i've enjoyed very much. I would recommend them to anyone looking to register a domain or for simple web hosting. Very easy to use. Excellent support.
Go Daddy is a good website host with excellent support. It's very easy to connect domain and host if you register the domain name with their service. Some times host goes a little bit slowly, but it happens very rarely.
Go daddy is the best hosting company service provider in the world. I have been using GoDaddy as my primary registrar for several years now. Between the sites I manage as part of my job, the sites I manage for friends, and my own personal sites I have 12 domains registered through them. I have never transferred a domain away from GoDaddy, mainly because I’ve never seen a need to. They have low prices and the service does what it’s supposed to. Why would I leave?…”
I really like their complete package approach to Web Hosting. This is amplified by their descriptions of their services, so I know what I am buy and why. I also like that they let you know when your account needs to be updated well before the due dates.
With regards to managing my website, its very straightforward and easy to maintain on the control panel. Their prices are not bad either.
Great Service.
I got a quick response every time i needed.
what can you say more about the no 1 hosting and it services in the world
Now that I have finally gotten accustomed to GoDaddy's somewhat-convoluted interface for domain control, and for hosting, I am very satisfied with the performance, tech support, and overall value they offer.
The user interface is rather confusing, and seems to change on a regular basis. Evidently they have different backend modules for different areas of functionality, such as domain control, and for hosting, so you kind of "jump off" from your My Account area into each area. However, once in that specific zone, the control options offered are extremely full-featured, generally fairly obvious as to how to use them (not always) and should satisfy the most technical control-freak in terms of what can be controlled.
In terms of technical support, there is usally a 6 to 8 minute wait when you call, and then the quality of support is excellent 80% of the time. Techs are generally patient and well-trained. If I do happen to get an obviously undertrained newbie, I will politely ring off and call back again, and most likely get a more-experienced tech.
GoDaddy's hosting plans offer a great value for our clients with multiple websites because you can purchase the Deluxe Hosting plan, under which you can host as many different websites with as many different domains, as you want to, because the domain directories are all located in one area (as subfolders to your first-hosted domain). There is typically no need to purchase email plans if your client is satisfied with a simple forwarding function from a domain email to their personal email, as this service is free with the domain.
Their prices are pretty rock-bottom for plain domain registration and hosting. Because of this, they are constantly trying to upsell naive clients unneeded products, and often succeeding. Therefore I coach my clients specifically as to what they need and what they don't before they have direct contact with a salesperson or tech. If I discover a client has purchased unneeded products, they have always been pleasant and professional when we call to discontinue the unneeded products.
So now that I've become accustomed to GoDaddy's approach, and know their strengths and weaknesses, I find that, all-in-all, they offer the best overall value for my web development needs, and have been very pleased with the quality of technical support.
Generally, Godaddy is a great company. Products and Services are rich and their prices are attractive, there are so many coupons!
Some issues I'd like to say something
Firstly, the customer service response time is somewhat slowly, I have to wait for several hours to get the email replies.
Secondly, During the the process of buying products, there are too much of other recommendation, not feeling very well.
Thirdly, back control panel isn't too easy to use.
OK, I'm not good at web hosting stuff. I left AT&T Web hosting because their support people contradicted each other, were sarcastic and demeaning. I have now worked with 5 Go Daddy support fellows and each one has been patient, precise about what to do and how to do it, and generous with their time. If you don't have a lot of experience but are willing to read, try and learn, this is the hosting group for you. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Go Daddy is a great website host, They have catered for all my needs and have offered me support when needed. The customer (Me) Did not need to know anything about websites to begin.
GREAT
I have used Go Daddy for a very long time now, and my experience with them is absolutely great. From the great support to the outstanding prices, I would recommend this site to anyone starting out in the web design business, they're truly outstanding.
I dread any changes I have to make on my website. The employes at Go Daddy take me through all the steps and questions. I don't feel rushed or stupid, but able to work through my problems. I feel confident I can upgrade my website inexpensively and with profesional help. If I have a question I'll just ask. Thanks Marsha
Go Daddy is a very poor web host. As a web site developer, I have found them to be poor on many levels compared to other hosts I've used (some for several years with little to no issues). It seems Go Daddy maintains mysql databases on a server separate from the server hosting the web site. Those database servers go down with regular frequency and then any part of a site that relies on those databases becomes unusable. It's frequent enough that a live site can be significantly hurt by the failures. Their web servers also seem to go down frequently. It seems like they might have rollover servers, but their features don't seem to match up with the primary web servers. For example, the primary web server implements ImageMagick just fine, but the rollover server acts as though ImageMagick is either not installed or not fully configured. If using ImageMagick for a live site, this can mean total failure again and the live site. I've been working on many occasions on a site writing ImageMagick code and testing it; one moment everything is fine, the next it tells me there's no fonts to use or it doesn't understand the commands (with no changes to the code). Even their configuration of ssh for working on a web site is annoying and poor. I can be browsing through a web site directory structure and it will simply disconnect. I understand disconnecting after so much idle time, but their idle time limit is so short (just a few minutes), it makes web development very difficult and annoying. Also, if I'm browsing the directory structure, it should not consider the connection idle.
I will give them credit for having updated software -- PHP and MySQL seem to be some of the newest releases (although their PHP implementation lacks a little -- there seems to be no way to use different php.ini files to allow for different configurations for different directories, such as different prepend and append files).
The constant attempts to sell you additional items is also annoying. They constantly try to get you to buy more "features." Go Daddy may be good for the inexperienced web site developer who needs WYSIWYG editors and the like, but it is definitely not good for professional site development and I question their usefulness for reliable, live web sites at all. Their are reliable, good, economical web hosts out there and Go Daddy is NOT one of them.
Godaddy is one of the most popular providers out there, and I think especially for their very discounted .info registration.
Their control panel is some custom made solution, which is very hard to be used to and to understand for newbies.
Once you get connected with GD, you'll get tons of spam from them to your mailbox. Its like every day once or so.
Their hosting is very secure, and reliable, but has no good global traffic distribution which causes not that cool response times.
If you are a professional user, you should consider working with them, but in any other cases, I don't recommend anything but buying domains.
Well, the support is a bit slow. And sometimes not helpfull at all. That needs MAJOR improvement. They eventually did solve some problems, most of the time I just figure it out myself. This is more Advanced type of domain usage if you use custom DNS and everything like me, but if you keep to the default settings, everything should run smoothly without much editing. I do recommend go daddy, they have low prices, and coupons that make it even lower, and also their DNS management is reasonable, yet reliable.
I have been with GoDaddy, several years now and while some may seem them not as a serious hosting company. They rock because I have not been down once since I( have hosted with them and I dont have to check some site to see when server maintenance takes place. I do not have to worry there approach is seamless and the prices are great. I like the a-la-carte approach, if I dont want a service I dont opt for it and if I want it later I can always go back. The last three hosting companies I had before GoDaddy sucked big time!
Go Daddy, is one of the best sites, I ever came upon and Im not just saying that. I really love using the services, very affordable for everyone. I recommend everyone to used go Daddy. sincerly Broderick e-mail: bhornes41@yahoo.com
You have to choose Godaddy if:
1 You don't care about 100% Uptime but 80-85% is enough for you
2 Don't need a good support
3 You want to pay more to have LESS things then other hosts
4 You are simply CRAZY!
Go daddy is a very good Domain registrar but I think it's one of the worst host on the Web Market!
Each time you have a problem and you try to contact support they usually tell you that the problem can't be solved until you pay something more and sometimes (almost always) they don't know neither why your website is offline nor how to solve the problem...
I had a VPS for a few months and I'm not a complete newby in web stuff, I consider my self an average user like a lot on the www.
Even with my average knowledge sometimes I can manage something into my account so instead of calling them I have to "google" to find a solution.
So If you want to join one of the worst host on webmarket...FEEL FREE TO CHOOSE GODADDY!
It's really the best services we've had over 5 years working in web production, customer service when there is any doubt about your services is altamete qualified and solve problems in a fast, I recommend the service and godaddy . com both newbies and experts in the area
I have used GoDaddy for many years and many website. In my opinion I would say that GoDaddy is the best Website hoster out there. There customer-care is one of the best I have ever come across, even though I have little use for them as I have never had a big problem there hosting. It does take some time to get used to, for people beginning with websites, but after you get a bit of technical expertise you will never go to another web host again.
One of the best things about Godaddy is thats its suitable for all users from web masters to people with little expertise
There prices are very good. $10 domain names and a cheap $3/mo hosting is very good.
I would recamend GoDaddy to anybody.
Well,godaddy is an averagely good host site.They offer pretty user-friendly interface which aids in better file upload into their server,and easy access as alterations could be easily made,from virtually any point.But,they have their faults too.Atimes,the server becomes a little bit unstable and this can be frustrating, and annoying too.Nevertheless,I think they meet most people's standards for a hosting company.
Thanks.
Go Daddy is awesome because their tutorials and help section is better than anyone else's! The tutorials, step by step instructions...the user friendly menus, etc. make it so simple to navigate the site and learn. It's nice, I am a newbie to web design & management who is doing some self-taught work and GoDaddy is definitely the only one I'd recommend for hosting.
Go Daddy is the first and only domain registrar service I've ever used. I searched extensively online for all kinds of hosting and domain registration costs before I decided to go with Go Daddy. To be sincere, I chose Go Daddy mainly because of the low cost and their reputation.
As all of us agree, it is not very safe to sign up with a service if we know little about it, even though the price may look good. There are some really cheap domain and hosting services online, but many of them are from new or unknown companies. Chances are, some time in the future, their website will go down and they will go out of business without any notice to us customers. For fear of that, I did choose any of these cheap services.
I decided to choose Go Daddy and will stick with it. There is nothing to complain about the service I receive. The customer service is extremely fast and reliable. The domain managing tools are great. They also have a market place for us to sell our domains. Overall, I give Go Daddy five stars. Anyway, you cannot be wrong choosing the largest and best domain registrar service on the world!
GoDaddy provides the best choice in my opinion, I got domain hosting and the price is very cheap, fantastic.
Also, GoDaddy's 24/7 support is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always there!
They have great service and are always willing to help with any problems. It never takes more than 15 minutes for changes to occur if they make the changes I need. Also setting up databases and addon programs are a snap.
The thing I say the most about GoDaddy when I'm telling my clients about them and why I chose them is the support. GoDaddy's 24/7 support is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always there! Most of all the they are based in America and speak fluent English. Too many times the support maybe there, but the team isn't easy to understand and just leaves you with a bad experience.
GoDaddy's pricing seems to be right up with there with the competition, so they offer a fair package for price. The site is a little busy and can take a little bit to find your way around, but once you've found where things are the interface is very modern and the step-by-step setup wizards make getting your site up and going quick and painless.
I feel that any customer would be happy with GoDaddy, their features and options that you receive and can purchase cover all major platforms.
I've been using GoDaddy for about 4 years and have helped hundreds sign up and enjoy the GoDaddy experience. You won't be disappointed!
- To be sure before I sign up I would have checked the price list are available, whether they fit with my needs or not, and GoDaddy provides the best choice in my opinion, I got domain hosting and the price is very cheap, fantastic.
- they possessed a highly professional service, my domain is active only a few minutes after I signed up, really fast. when I have a problem, its customer service provides a service that was so satisfying.
- GoDaddy uses a different control panel with other hosting providers, for a new might be a little be a problem, but if we try to find, GoDaddy provides a very comprehensive help file.
- GoDaddy handle the problem very quickly, the support ticket will immediately respond when we ask and have a problem. Their services are great.
- I think hosting at GoDaddy fits all types of customers, for the need cheap domain, or who desire a satisfactory service, or who need a powerful domain hosting, GoDaddy is the right place.
- Yes I highly recommend it, try it, as GoDaddy is the world's largest hosting provider, and very reliable...
As a web application support engineer, I constantly have to deal with GoDaddy hosting service. I always find it slow, no matter what the plan is. It runs PHP scripts slowly and it does not give enough memory to them. It may be OK for very simple CMS that only pull text from a database and display it, but it is just unacceptably slow for any serious web application such as an online store, that performs multiple disk and database reads and writes to render every page. MySQL server connection periodically goes away and a batch of SQL queries fails which is a serious problem when an application tries to update its data.
Also, GoDaddy has a very strange procedure of adding FTP users to hosting accounts: when you enter an FTP username, it should be unique among all GoDaddy FTP usernames. I had to generate a random string of characters in KeePass for GoDaddy to accept it. And the newly created FTP account cannot be used immediately, you have to wait for it to be activated. This dramatically slows down any troubleshooting.
I would recommend GoDaddy for hosting of simple, static web sites only. For a serious web application, choose other host.
Godaddy has been an excellent host for me. It offers good features for my website. Some of the features are optional, which in my opinion should be made available free of cost. Features like Web statistics, and some level of SEO would be great.
Changes in the settings may take some time to reflect, but I've never faced a problem with downtime or reliability.
The FAQ's are very much explanatory and most of the times are enough to answer more than my questions.
I definitely recommend Godaddy for peace of mind. It is suitable for all types of users, just choose your plan carefully.
Godaddy Rocks :)
Go daddy is a great service yet they have got some bad critisism from stuff i have yet to see with my own eyes, so far i think it is a great host they provide great hosting plans and thier support is 10/10 the best i have ever seen on a website, ild recommend every one looking for thier first website should host with them.
At first the go daddy website is very easy to use, all the options are very well explained, and no hidden charges "appear" during the checkout, when you buy domain name an web hosting, since the moment you brought it to the moment you are online, only 48hrs approx. and the speed of my web site is very well i don't complain of anything. i am very happy using go daddy and in the future im sure i will use it again. i hope this review help you to make the right choice choosing the best internet hosting provider. thanks
In some aspects, Go daddy can really dominate the Domain Hosting area.. But it's not really the domain hosting I am complaining about.. My website was recently hacked, MisterHost.info that really made me mad. I contacted support and they told me to re-upload the files.. I did not have the latest version of my website template which made me even more mad, I'm still working on fixing the template, which will take a LONG TIME.
I am attempting to convince my web host to give me another month free.. Just for this hassle.
If they dont comply, I will be very mad, and will of course make a new Review.
Go Daddy's Name Servers lack, as it is very challenging to change and update them.
I used godaddy for 2years, with 99.9% Up-time. The Customer Service was Great, Especially via Phone Calls, They answered my questions and gave support under 5 minutes.
They Have a great user panel for hosting and website statistics, very user friendly, even a novice can use it without any issue.
I only left godaddy, because my website was not doing well ,so i had to shut it down. If i do create a website i will surely use godaddy Again.
I also register all domains with Godaddy, which is a life saver, due to there easy to use domain services, forwarding and more!
Godaddy is an A++ Company.
Since last Two years I am using Go daddy domains and hosting the support staffs are very good and they solve my issues with in the first reply.The domain name cost is also good but it is not so cheap like cheap register and other domain providers.
Go dally also provides automated word press installation with its deluxe hosting package which was excellent and help helps me to set up my blogs quickly.
But only one thing I don't like about Godaddy when I am going to buy a new domain or hosting the payment page comes with a lots of offers and auto selection options which is vary very confusing.
Other wise I think Godaddy is the best service provider in domain selling market.
Hmmm... GoDaddy. I love it. GoDaddy is a great hosting service that I use all the time. I have read so many reviews on this service that say this hosting service is horrible, liars. I personally love this site. It has so many great features, such as email, domain forwarding, and more. I love domain forwarding because you can host your website anywhere possible (such as wordpress, webs.com, etc...) which helps anyone who has a website. This way you don't have to redo your whole website that you currently have hosted. Also, the email has many great features, including support for outlook, so you can set email up on your iPhone or iPod Touch/Blackberry. Their customer support is awesome, and I would FOR SURE recommend this service to all my friends. Overall, great host.
've been a customer with goDaddy for a very long time. I went with them for the value they offered and I still think they are good value. However, my latest experience with them has left me looking for an alternative host.
The problem started with their constant rehashing of the user interface which led to me ordering a Linux site instead of a Windows site. According to the knowledge base it should be possible to change the hosting plan but, as with much of the goDaddy site, it is very out of date. Following a phone call from them they eventually assigned me a Windows site but only partially refunded the amount I had paid. I then discovered they have removed the Frontpage extensions from the Windows plan and no amount of plodding through user interfaces tells me how to get them installed. I asked for a refund but they have now said the refund was made earlier and the problem is with PayPal (another faceless mega-company with zero customer relations).
The (THE) main problem with goDaddy is the customer ticket system. Every time you answer you get a new person to deal with whose name is someone P (e.g. Daniel P, Bill P, Sara P). They appear to be totally brainless when it comes to dealing with the problem.
In all of this there does not seem to be any onbudsman to whom you can turn. I actually despise the company now and can't wait for my account to expire. Bob Parson's is a just another faceless *******.
I have used Godaddy since 2004. In that time I have spent around $3000 with them.
My pet hate with them is the spammy overloaded servers - not a clean interface by far - not simple to navigate - slow - but admin interface speed has improved in the last few years.
Unlike other providers Godaddy charge for ALL extras above and beyond Domain Registration. This means anonymous whois, e-mail, so called business registration. Unless you wish just for a straighforward domain it actually is cheaper to go elsewhere.
I host many sites with Godaddy and will critically do recommend them. Support is minimal - but if you don't need it - you know what you are doing - then they are probably the best basic domain deal out there.
Although they use a US call centre (no farming off to India) the staff really have not much expertise and seem to use scripted responses.
You can also use one-time credit card payments if you are worried about security. A good feature.
In summary - cheap and cheerful - reliable - but dont expect serious support.
Hi my name is billy sullivan i have been a customer at godaddy for 5 years now i have really really enjoyed it. it is so easy to use the interface is just fantastic all neatly laid out i like their new hosting offers it is so cheap i have been with other companies aswell before hand like yahoo but not as better as this i first started off at the site when i saw the 1.99 offer i signed up for it i got so many benefits i even got free hosting with it also came with a blog too at 1 time only once my server collapsed and within a few hours it was back up and running with no loss of data.i do reccomend this to any young starting out website maker because it is so easy to use you could have your own website on within 1 hour and if you get one of their fantastic domains you are gaurenteed a free hosting plan i started using this service when i was 15 years old since then i have never looked back the one thing i dont like is paying for the applications that could be changed but i suppoise they have to make money from somewhere i have really enjoyed my time at godaddy i hope it does very wel in the long run i have really loved it i am addicted to it well done godaddy
Hello
When i wanted to make my personal website i was confused about chosing my web host. too many people advised me to chose Goaddy, and i took my final decision after i posted in some forums and about 70 % of members recommended Godaddy to me.
About the uptime, then i dont worry about it at all, cuz its almost 100% uptimed daily, i didnt see my website down for one second since ever i hosted it with godaddy.
Also they offer the best prices on market, and im pretty sure of what im saying, cuz i havent seen in my life company that sells domain for just 0.89 $ :O lol thats awsome for them. not that only, but they gave me some gift points cuz i brought many domains and web hosting from them, and with those points i can buy free webhosting will all features and also email accounts, blogcast and many other useful stuff, thats beside the Google Adword gift card which gave me 75$ worth ads in Google adsense network. and thats not all i adore Godaddy also cuz of thier discount coupons systems :D its awesome thing for them too.
Thier support is pretty good actually comparing to the large number of members and users, but anyway thier support is stills very good and helpful.
They also started affiliate program which i really love so much, i wished always that i can work with them away from the stupid rules or affiliate junction. im looking forword to start promoting them to make some money with them.
I would like to thank all Godaddy staff for this great service
Hmmm.... GoDaddy. The first thing that pops into my head is AMAZING! (well, and the GoDaddy girl!)
So, GoDaddy is a great hosting site. I love all the nice features and helpful support. By far, the best thing about the site is that they offer both a website builder AND a forwarding service, so if you already have a website, you don't have to lose all of your progress and viewers to a new site. Before becoming a customer, I would have known that you can use the website forwarding feature. I spent a lot of time panicking just to find that I don't have to lose all of my reviewed product blogs and more. For sure I would recommend GoDaddy to friends. I already have persuaded some family and most friends to use this because I love it so much! Their support is also great, but it will take a couple of days for a response. GoDaddy is suitable from a High-Tech web designer like me to a beginner web designer with no experience. Overall, GoDaddy is awesome and I am planning to continue to use it in the future. Thanks for reading!
Go-daddy is a Great! site to host with, they always have sales on to provide you with the best price. My domain cost me only $1.89NZD.There hosting plans are great, they have many features you can add to your site site such as security and auctioning off yours site, but these features do come at a price, but are definitely worth it.
There domain management interface is great, you get your own dashboard for each site where you can edit information about your site in the business listing and auto renew your site.
I have been with Godaddy since Oct 22nd 2009 when I decided to self host my wordpress blog (per a friend recommending I do).
I was looking around for web hosting, and I thought I would try Godaddy as they where advertising on TV, Web, and on Revision 3.
I purchased wordpress hosting (which runs on linux) for 4 months to see how things would be.
In those 4 months I have been able to setup a wiki, forum, and a blog with no problems. I have not even added OpenX advertising.
I am glad godaddy has a software center where they will do 1 click installs of all the major software.
They also keep on track of software updates.
There is FTP access but I have had no need for it with Godaddy's installers.
Godaddy offers 10GB of disk space, 300GB of monthly bandwidth, and 10 MySQL databases for $5/month. That is pretty cheap.
In my 4 months Godaddy has gone down only once and it was for a few hours. Godaddy gave me a free month of hosting as a sorry after I contacted them.
There email support is quick to respond but I usually find them using the normal generated message every company uses.
Overall Godaddy is a nice host, easy to use, is always up, and rarely slows down.
Firstly, let me start by saying that I have noticed a lot of bad reviews on GoDaddy. True, their interface may seem a little overwhelming at first sight, but you get used to it. True, once you start using them it is hard to "get rid" of them.
But, I have been using GoDaddy for months and for multiple websites and never had a problem with them. I had a few support questions, which were answered in a couple of hours (not too bad for a host that is hosting literally millions of websites). I have only had that one experience with their support, but the answer was timely and professional.
My websites were unavailable only once for a couple of minutes. Other than that, I have never seen any other downtime (and I use shared hosting). Speed is very good. Few times the loading was a little slow, but nothing major that I have noticed. You get a free e-mail address and free hosting with a domain name purchase, which is awesome.
People swear other hosts are much better and that they had nothing but bad experiences with GoDaddy, but in my case, that is far from true. So, in conclusion, I am very satisfied with GoDaddy and would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent host.
I have been using GoDaddy for my company's website, and our clients, for over five years. I was attracted to them for two reasons... they were cheap, and I had heard of their founder, Bob Parsons. I remember his Parsons Technology company from the 1980s. Seeing a familiar name among the plethora of web hosting companies let me to choose GoDaddy.
It turned out to be the right choice. GoDaddy's prices have stayed low. Once we set up a domain and host it, we rarely have to worry about it. (I think we had downtime on only one domain, for less than 24 hours, in the last five years.) And their customer support is very good. Back in the old days, a phone call always had a 10 minute+ wait time, but they have steadily improved that. And they follow through, nothing falls through the cracks.
I've been impressed with the amount of services they have rolled out over the years. Putting my friend's business on GoDaddy with a shopping cart was fun and easy! They continually add new "add ons," including Google Webmaster Tools, and WordPress blogging. Although I do this for a living, I think anyone could work with GoDaddy's tools to get exactly what they want. And if you run into a stumbling block, call their tech support... Yes, even I have had my hand held by them once or twice; their directions were clear and accurate.
I have and will recommend GoDaddy to others. I'm not crazy about some of their advertising... but heck, as long as they keep sponsoring Dale Earnhardt Jr, they're okay.
One tip though: always choose a Linux plan for your hosting... way more features and add-ons!
Here is what you should know if you are planning to go sign up for godaddy hosting:
-Hosting is provided in two regions, determined by the IP you sign up with. If you sign up from Europe they will host your account in their European datacenter, US IPs will get US hosting.
-You can buy a .com and 1 month of Delux hosting for 7.78$, cheaper then other companies sell just the domain names.
-Hosting starts from 4 USD / month with coupon( always available ) or 3USD/mo if you sign up for 3 years.
-Servers are fast, uptime is good, probably the best among < 10 USD / mo hosting.
-If you have a CPU intensive website, probably not the best host for you.
-They use a custom control panel which can be slow.
-If you sign up you should forget that support exists. They have a good knowledgebase. They provide accurate waiting times for e-mail response and phone support. If you are a beginner you should probably use another host.
-They provide SFTP and SSH access although they don't list this in their feature list - SSH must be activated free over the phone.
-If you exceed you bandwith limit they will bill you at very very high rates - you can upgrade at any time if you think that the bandwidth will be exceeded.
-FTP upload is capped at 60kb/s, http downloads are very fast, 500kb/s+.
Overall they provide great value for money if you know what you are doing and don't need support.
I have been with Godaddy since 6 months, i usually buy domains and i got hosting account with them. I really like their domains offers, its really great for someone who is starting his new website. Their hosting plans is really good too. and i brought from them SSL with very cheap price that you cant find anywhere, The discount coupon system is really awesome..
The best thing with Godaddy is that you will setup your website and you will not have to worry about server downtime or anything, and thats what makes me trust godaddy so much.
The support is not bad, but they reply little bit late, and also they dont clear up matters for you, like when i asked them about the free host account which comes buy the points that you make when you buy stuff, i was trying to ask if its comes with ads or not, and they just said that i can enjoy it as its free!!!! i think that they need better customer service.
I use Godaddy also to make some money, by selling domains to my friends and family, also i signed up for their affiliate program through CJ.com
I always recommend Godaddy to my friends and family as i mentioned above, and i also recommend them in forums.
I actually switched to them from another provider. I brought over my old domain name, and it was very easy to do. Easy sign-up, lots of help with all my problems. A+ for their tech team. Easy even for someone with little know-how like me. I needed a little extra money on the side, looked around for domain name hosts, and decided definitely that Go Daddy was the way to go, no ifs, ands, or buts. I will continue to use them as my domain name service, as soon as I need more domains. Not too expensive, but with the price comes great value. I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs hosting. When my domain names are about to expire, they send me regular emails to make sure that I remember to renew it. Without those, it could be disastrous. I would like to say thank you Go Daddy, and you guys will definitely be seeing me as a customer in the future.
I wished I would have know how great of a service go daddy would have been. My site is always up 24/7 and they have great customer support if you ever run into a problem. I highly reccomend Go Daddy because of their cheap pricing and many features. It is a good site for companies trying to start a business online or for individuals who need a good host provider. Customers don't need much technical expertise because Go Daddy has a program that makes designing your website very easy. You can choose from thousands of free templates and images that you can use to make a very appealing website. You can get a domain for as little as $2 which is a great deal and they have many great domains to choose from. It is easy to renew your website when it runs out and they don't include any hidden fees so they are a great company.
So far my experience Go Daddy has been extremely satisfactory. Upon my purchase I was contacted by a representative and he went over my order with me, notifying me of a discrepancy regarding my accidental purchase of 2 hosts. He then used that credit to save me money which I was very surprised and pleased with. But overall, the best thing about Go Daddy is how user friendly everything is. (Especially Website Tonight!) I was very pleased with the prices as well. I thought my budget was very low, but I ended up having a little extra left over and still getting everything I wanted. But on top of the low prices, they also offer a bunch of great deals and promotions, which is another thing that helped me save so much.
This was my first domain purchase so I was new to all this. I would recommend Go Daddy to anyone trying to start their own site.
I have been using godaddy for about 3 years, Prices so is normal, not high. and the uptime is very good, which gives 99.9% and with all this cheap prices GoDaddy have the best web servers in the world uptiming.
I used all shared hosting type on GoDaddy, and I must say Its ideal, for new webmasters who wants to start with economic type hosting. the price is very good for start.
Godaddy now provides grid server tecnology, it provides high uptime value and make your sites faster. i recommend that you have to try this product with beta prices. This beta prices is very good price on the web. this technology on other companies have a high prices.
Godaddy have a good support system, quick respond and informative replies. The support team is very good and sloveing probelems quickly.
Surely i would like to recommend GoDaddy.
Godaddy has great uptime and fine price. The support is okay. Their servers are load balanced and well managed. I barely had any problems in the uptime or anything. Support is not the best or super fast, but is okay. Support tickets usually takes more than 1 day to be answered. Clients neen't have very much expertise, but the interface is not too easy like cPanlel. cPanel is the best. I would recommend goDaddy for domain abd hosting both, for two reasons - 1. price and 2. quality of service. balanced and well managed. I barely had any problems in the uptime or anything. Support is not the best or super fast, but is okay. Support tickets usually takes more than 1 day to be answered. Clients neen't have very much expertise, but the interface is not too easy like cPanlel. cPanel is the best. I would recommend goDaddy for domain abd hosting both, for two reasons - 1. price and 2. quality of service.
I couldn't find a better offer than GoDaddy Economy Hosting including support for Wordpress.
GoDaddy also has a huge number of features and good support. I must admit that I did upload Wordpress myself rather than install the GoDaddy version because that created a silly Database name which was impossible to remember and hopeless to type in.
They also create a silly numerical user login which you cannot change into something a normal mortal can remember.
Support is pretty good: they declined to help with a question on a Wordpress psecific issue but when when I first subscribed to Windows Hosting and this caused problems with my file permission management Support switched me to a Linux host within 24 hours.
The control panels are pretty confusing sometimes but offer a lot of control.
FileZilla works without any problems and so does Wordpress.
So all good except: it is soooooo slow!!!!
When doing anything in the control panels you can lose the will to live waiting for screen refresh.
Also my website is pretty slow and one day it may well become a problem. It is a nuisance when editing my website but it is also noticable on the website itself and when traffic takes up (which I hope one day it will), I hope GoDaddy will have done something about their speeds.
But for now I have unlimited space and bandwidth and all the features I want for only $4.99 per month including support. That's pretty good. In fact I haven't found anything better.
I am currently hosted with GoDaddy for over 3 years now.
Before hosting with Godaddy, you should be aware that you can not send more than 1000 emails in their shared hosting plan in a single day.
The email support ticket normal response time is 6-12 hours.
Most of the support ticket replies are template replies, however, if the support ticket discussion continues for long time, you sometimes get a call from them to clarify the situation.
Control panel is easy to use, however, its slow loading even on 3 mbps internet connection.
Your website can be suspended if it consumes lots of CPU cycles. You can be forced to move to dedicated server in that case, or they will tell you to remove CPU intensive pages.
GoDaddy hosting is extremely reliable in terms of uptime. However, my Stats were disabled, because the site is high trafficked and it used to choke their stats program. But overall , their servers are reliable and I WOULD RECOMMEND GODADDY.
huh! godaddy is great great value and the best phone and email support in the industry. I have never experienced downtime. Godaddy is great. Very easy to manage host with many plans to shooce from. We also get free easy one click install applications like forum , chat , guestbook , content management system and many other applications. Godaddy is a perfect place to host for everyone either he is a begineer or a proffessional in webdesigning. Godaddy supports most of the programming language lik php , .net , asp my sql database , perl and others. Godaddy rocks.
I wanted good uptime , great value , best support , easy to manage and many fatures host . ANd godaddy have all these, I am satisfied with godaddy. They reply to our problems from phone within 5 minutes. No need of any technical knowledge to host a site. Godaddy is best for everyone. So i will like recommend godaddy to everyone. But if you are going to host a small website with less than 1 gb of space required then godaddy will be expensive for you. Else godaddy is the best host i have ever seen
They are really great. No words to describe. I had also tried other hosting servers, but nobody can beat GODADDY.COM. They always send promotional codes to the email and when purchasing new domains and services for my client, i will be able to use that codes and get special discount.
Their customer service is outstanding.
The navigation in their website is great. and also i can use the mobile version of the website to find the availability of the new domains, very fast from my iPhone. I love GoDaddy.
Their prices are very competitive and no hidden charges with any of their services. I encourage all of my co-workers and friends to have a personal account with godaddy for all their domains and other services.
Especially, i love the new email workspace. the securesever is very good. we can also encrypt the emails. add calendar and much more. i can keep on writing many more things.
God bless godaddy team and the CEO.
Go Daddy is ok as long as you have no problem with your hosting account or your domain. But as soon as you have a problem and you need the help of the support, it may take time.
First of all it has to be said, that all support stuff is friendly and want to help. But most of them are not really professionals, they have learned it in a quick lesson. I would call them amateurs! But they call themselves professionals and experts.
Example: I baught a hosting account and decided to install one of those hosting applications Go Daddy supports with automatic install-scripts. But the script failed, because the script hadn't got writing rights on the supposed directory it should install itself. It took 2 calls until the support got the problem right. On the second call i was promised that a technician would finish the installation. But he did not. He just copied the files into the directory, not connecting them to the database. He stated that they wouldn't support those applications. But I didn't want help on the application itself, I just wanted the intall-script they offered me to run through.
End of the song. I got the application installed. But it took half a day instead of 30 minutes, when I had done it manually.
second example: Another story is their assissted service plan on dedicated virtual servers. Once I had a Windows Virtual Dedicated Server with Assissted Service plan. One month after I had purchased it, I got an email that a root kit was found on my server and that they had to reset the whole server and I was aksed to install anti-virus software on it. I asked back if they hadn't done it themselves, because they had root acces, not I. They excused themselves and did the reiissue of the server. One month later they found again a root kit on the server with the same consequeces. this time I got really angry, but then I found out that tey werent able to secure the ftp- access of the server and they couldn't have installed any anti-virus software. Because as soon as I stopped using ftp no root kits were found anymore.
Third Example: This story is their backup service for dedicated servers. I once had purchased it with a linux virtual dedicated server. And I wanted to have a backup played onto the server. I even told them the exact date. The first try took them 3 days and as I checked back they hadn't played back all files. the secind try took only 24 hours but also wasn't complete. Only as I got rough and suggested that they may have lost files while backing up. The whole thing got a go. I was asked what was missing and after another 3 days I got the right and complete backup.
I still use Go Daddy, because of their price, but I know that if I need help from the support I need to take out the hammer to get what I want. You also need to know your stuff otherwise you wont get any help.
I don't know what everyone else is talking about, I have had nothing but good expireinces with go daddy.
There is only one problem, Godaddy is only good for one thing. That one thing is domains. I tried getting a dedicated server with them and the support was horrible the server was totally unreliable. Look elsewhere for Dedicated Hosting.
Having said that, Go Daddy is a super domain website because it is always running and has never let me down. I would recommend GoDaddy domains to all of my friends because I have been with them for 2 years and I trust them.
One more thing, Prices are VERY low; I ordered my domain for 5 years at 20.29(or around there) a month, a very good deal. However, I can see how some people may be frustrated with GoDaddy, their support is not exactly top notch and although replys are pretty fast they are usually not very helpful.
Bottom line, I'm staying with Godaddy as I get everything I need at the lowest price imaginable.
Godaddy is great hosting company for everyone, i really like their prices which is the best on web, and with all this cheap prices.
It have the best web servers in the world which gives 99.9% uptiming.
It also gives very good discounts and offers, i really cant believe that someone can give such offers now days, that's really impressive.
Also their support, its good too, quick respond and informative replies.
I had tried many other hosting service providers in terms of register domains, hosting websites but I have never seen a kind of service I have got from godaddy, I am using the its services since last two years.
In every plan those services are provided which normally hosting provider don't provide.
It is providing services more than a provider
It is simply the great.
One of the best things in Go Daddy is their worlds cheapest domain hosting. I am very surprised to know that domain names are available in Go Daddy for less than 10 US$ a year. It was my 1st time searching for a domain hosting, and felt very lucky to be at the right place, and purchased 4 domains together in Go Daddy. The free extras with the purchase of domain are also plenty. I love some of the free extras such as personalized email accounts/forwarding, photo album, website builder, domain forwarding and masking, etc. I could say the total DNS control and other user controls in their website are highly user friendly and quite easy to setup even for layman.
As far as the customer support is concerned, Go Daddy is excellent in both technically and timely response. To my surprise while I am searching “who is†database I found that, not only individuals like me, the huge companies like Skype too registered their domains in Go Daddy. As far as I know there are no negative points, except the access speed of the hosting/domain controls from the Far East countries, which is little slower sometime! Ah who cares the speed if I could get all these goodies for just 10 US$ per year! The last but not the least, promotions dropping to my email every time from Go Daddy.com are really attractive with great discounts!

While most people think “domains†when they hear the name, GoDaddy is also one of the largest and most well known hosting companies in the industry. They offer good prices, competitive features, and some of the best U.S.-based customer support in the business. The domain services and pricing are also vastly superior to other hosting companies.
But what about hosting features? Well, the allowances for items like e-mail accounts, disk space and bandwidth are lower than some other top hosting companies, but still substantial. For instance, the Deluxe plan provides 1,000 e-mail accounts, 150 gigabytes (GB) of disk space, and 1,500 GB of monthly bandwidth. This is far more than the average website owner will use, but less than HostMonster (for example). GoDaddy does distinguish itself by offering very affordable plans for both Linux and Windows servers along with language support for Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails and ASP.NET – you won’t find that at most discount hosts.
GoDaddy also has some of the best customer service. In fact, it’s one of the only hosts that actually posts expected wait times for phone service so you know what to expect; and wait times are usually less than five minutes. We’ve dealt with GoDaddy on numerous occasions via phone and e-mail, and the responses have been friendly, timely, and effective.
If, like us, you have an avid interest in domains, the sheer magnitude of domain services offered by GoDaddy makes it affordable and convenient to purchase hosting as well. Domains only cost $1.99 with a hosting plan, making it a one-stop shopping solution that’s difficult to beat. While the monthly contract is very convenient, you can save up to 15% more when choosing a longer-term plan.
Different from most hosts, the monthly plan can be purchased with no set-up fees, giving you maximum flexibility. However, you can save 5% with a 1 year plan, 10% with a 2 year plan, and 15% with a 3 year plan – the best deal from a cost perspective.
See table (left) for a list of key features and benefits for the Deluxe plan. For a complete list of features for all plans, visit GoDaddy's comparison chart.
Phone and e-mail support are available 24/7 and expected wait times are provided for each, so you can plan accordingly and save time. There is also an exclusive “Hosting Connection†community that features reviews and feedback from other customers about adding free applications (like a blog) to increase the functionality of your site. It’s a great place to learn more about the art of managing and developing a website.
10 gigabytes on the Economy plan and 150 on the Deluxe; most sites are 20 megabytes or less (1 gigabyte = 1,024 megabytes) so there is more than enough space to host a robust website.
300 GB/month on the Economy plan and 1,500 gigabytes for the Deluxe; most sites need 10 gigabytes or less. If your site has very high traffic (several million page views per month or higher) or is very image intensive, consider the Premium plan or a virtual dedicated server from GoDaddy.
“GoDaddy provides the best combination of web hosting and domain services.â€
GoDaddy operates its own 30,000 square-foot data center with the latest security technology and on-site security staff. At the server and network level, safeguards such as firewalls and SPAM and virus protection for e-mail are in place to keep the bad guys out. Also, for the very reasonable price of $19.99/year, you can add an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate that provides extra security for an online store.
GoDaddy has invested in the latest equipment such as fully redundant power systems, high-speed routers and firewalls, daily and weekly backups, and even off-site data storage. All these steps are taken to ensure that your website is online 99.9% of the time.
After mixed reviews from customers, GoDaddy recently upgraded its control panel to put it on par with more well known brands such as cPanel and Plesk. In addition, the Hosting Connection community software makes it very easy to click and install applications such as WordPress (blog software) and Joomla (helps manage content).
Buy a 1-3 year hosting plan and save up to 15%. More good deals for hosting customers include $1.99 domains and cheap SSL certificates.
According to me the great service is the one which is really useful for all. So go daddy is providing a great service. Recently i bought two domains using go daddy auction. seventh day they delivered my domain. that was the first time i am buying a domain but go daddy made it easy for me, the best work done by me is selecting go daddy for buying a domain. In that two domains one is redirecting site and it did not get indexed. so i mailed go daddy and i received a reply within a couple of hours. they mailed me some steps to solve this problem. when i followed those steps i got my site indexed within 10 hours.when ever i have any doubt about domain i used to send a request mail to go daddy support team and will get their response immediately. so according to me go daddy is the best hosting site which is suitable for the freshers. I recommended all my friends throughout the world to use go daddy for buying and hosting domain.
1-Godaddy is great hosting company for everyone, i really like thier prices which is the best on web, and with all this cheap prices GoDaddy have the best web servers in the world which gives 99.9% uptiming.
Godaddy also gives very good discounts and offers, i really cant believe that someone can give such offers nowdays, thats really impressive
2-About thier support, its good too, quick respond and informative replies.
3-The only problem that i had when i brought a giftcard and i got 3 domains for 20$ n i left the giftcards without buying anything, and after while i found my account is 0$ and it should be 20$ :(. and support didnt help me at all about this.
4-The host is suitable for almost everything, expect as you know for proxies
5-Surely i would like to recommend GoDaddy, i even applied for thier affiliate program but it didnt work :( .
I spent 3 years with Register.com before I switched to BlueJetHosting.com for the next 5 years so I could enjoy shared hosting with 9 other domains. But that was their limit. So, after stumbling around and trying several others, I saw little chance for future expansion. That's when I discovered Godaddy and I have nevere looked back. I was paying 5 times as much for Blue Jet, and their support guys new less than me and I am an absolute entry level computer enthusiast. I have called their support team more than 200 times over the past 3.5 years for assistance in setting up content management programs (and I didn't even know what that was until the service tech explained it)email accounts and variojus website enhancements. I now enjoy more than 50 domains and clients and I owe everything to Godaddy, and am speding a fraction of what I once was. The tech even ghuided me though setting up: www.playtimemurals.com I am MORE than satisfied. Anyone who isn't, just hasn't sample the rest of what's out there.
I hosted with another company (at 3 times the cost) from 1998 until 2005, until my number of clientele and bandwidth requirements outgrew them. In 2005 I started using the 30 day free trials offered by a dozen different hosting companies. In the end I was covinced that Godaddy was my answer - thge only answer - to my total needs. In the insuing years I have had to contact them for technical assistance on too many times to enumerate and have always received prompt, courteous and professional support. My down time has amounted to less than 3 total hours in 3 years, and, now with 74 clients and growing, I am nowhere near to exhaustion the generous disk space and bandwidth they provide. I must admit that I was only moderately knowledgeable whan I contracted with Godaddy, but with their help, recommendations and mountains of free software they provide, I have grown to a level of competition where I turn down as many as ten new accounts each month, simply because I do not have the time or personnel for more business. Does Godaddy Rock? Like a ROCK STAR, it Rock!
Go daddy is the daddy of all hosts. i like there domain service very much. there hosting plate farm is also cool for new users. it contains lots of valuable information.
Some thing about cost. godaddy is not cheap but they provide best service in hosting field. customer support is also very good.
I like them so much.
also they offer so many discount on timely basis. lots of domain tlds to buy. there resellers pkg is also good.
GoDaddy offers much more than just domain names and simple website hosting, but can handle just about anything you throw at their service. GoDaddy has a variety of web hosting options, different packages and a host of additional features that make it a great option for hosting a personal webpage or small business site. With competitive rates and additional valuable add-ons, GoDaddy is a great web-hosting solution that is easy to setup and simple to use.
The price is right with this host. Everyone who uses a Budget Hosting company is looking to save money in some capacity. I am no different. I really like what I have gotten from them in my time with the company as far as price is concerned.
In closing, I would like to say that the Budget Hosting from godaddy Web Hosting started out as a pleasant surprise to me, but since then, has become a trusted part of my business plan. It has helped me grow my online business at a nice rate. Thanks so much for that!
I'm pretty pleased with their service... the online chat often helps.. and the few times we had serious problems with the mssql it took a bit more tickets but they agreed to move us to a newer server which solved our problem.
I would prefer NO downtime at all... instead of the short interruptions.
The main benefits of Godaddy hosting are:
- the greatest Live support that is able to solve any kind of problem in several minutes
- low prices that include wide amount of features and services
- high bandwidth that results in websites running very fast
I love Godaddy Hosting and recommend it to everyone!
This is fantastic service provider. 100% uptime and good service. Thanks bob for good service at reasonable rate. Support having some problem like I am not able to shift a site under unlimited sites under deluxe plan. Else all is great. server response time is great. and downtime is 0 % . All offer providing by this site is really good. I give references and discount coupons to my friends so that they may get the discounts( i get discounts from newsletters from godaddy ).
Even shared hosting contains the every feature which normal IT guy needs.
In every plan those services are provided which normally hosting provider don't provide. It is providing services more than a provoder .:) Mailer solutions are also very good. I am thinking to try this one soon. I am so impressed that i want to change one site from a hosting provider to Godaddy
regards,
Rohit
A very much reliable hosting service provider,
They provide what they claim.
Their 24hr customer helpdesk is really helpful and help you in critical needs, I have suffered a lot becasue of hosting provider that only work on office timings, but godaddy is simply reliable for your all hosting needs.
Godaddy is suitable for all those who have their hosting need starting from initial entry leverl amature web developer to a professional web designer.
The all time up website it self proves godaddy as a very good technical service provider interms of hosting related services.
Because of automated service lookup all gets answered.
I had tried many other hosting service provicers interms of register domains, hosting websites but I have never seen a kind of service I have got from godaddy, I am using the godaddy services since last three years.
It is simply the great.
The internet is flooded with the webhosting service business, it is very hard to find a reliable hosting service provider. Even you can not try different hosting service to ger a reliable hosting service provider for you as it takes a lot to configure a database driver website with different hosting service provider. It also cost you more that the chare of the hosting service. In this case you can rely on godaddy as I have tried that everything with them and they have got more than satisfactory results.
So, better hosting with godaddy.
Using the services of GO-Daddy many years and I've rarely had problems in the service.
Domains as sellers are great, I have dozens of names, in addition, recommend to all my clients who need their domain.
In addition to registering my domains with them always, I am using hosting service from a few years ago, and I have no complaints, the service is excellent, would be much better for me (and probably many) that accept adult content. :)
The control panel is easy to handle, it is ordered that the more they use CPanel most.
Support responded quickly, and I always have solved the problems I had with success. But it would be good also include technical support in Spanish, I know that many Latinos use the services of Go-Daddy.
Now I saw that the plans are multidomain hosting and this is excellent.
I recommend to everyone who wants a reliable hosting with plenty of space and services, Go-Daddy
In addition, bids that arrive in e-newsletters are a great help and saving money ... I love it.
The bad part of the service of Go-daddy is in the mail, sometimes there are problems with the mail out (smtpout) Other colleagues have told me that had the same problem with the email service, the number of shipments per day is very little, and the issue of output ports mail sometimes gets very complicated.
I wish I had known that GoDaddy barely works with MediaWiki (the wiki software used by Wikipedia) before I became a customer. There are numerous problems with using MediaWiki on GoDaddy hosting, and after hacking up MediaWiki the best you can achieve is a semi-working version of the software.
To buy or do anything on Godaddy's website you are faced with a tremendous amount of ads and things like "If you buy 10 more things you can save 10%". Be prepared to spend half an hour to buy or do anything on the site, with most of that time being spent saying you don't want to add twenty extra things to your order.
The software to manage things is also not without faults, it can be hard to navigate through it and figure out how to do what you want to do. I wouldn't recommend Go Daddy to friends personally, especially not for hosting, my experience with them was less than satisfactory.
I am using godaddy for an year now. They were extremely helpful in setting up my VPS. But I ordered unmanaged servers so the only problem was support. If you need support you have to order managed server unlike others godaddy unmanaged support is not useful at all they will answer like an automated machine.It is better to order managed hosting.I strongly recommend goddady and go managed

Best hosting i have seen as far as value for money and features are concerned. Being a Software engineer/web developer i needed a hosting with all kind of SQL and server side scripting language support with latest installations of frameworks and components, and i got that at Go Daddy. They handle email support queries very well but it takes normally 24 hrs; so one thing that i think missing is Online instant Chat Support. That would be great addition. One more addition that needs attention is payment options.
I will surely recommend and i have already recommended to my colleagues & friends.

* What do you wish you'd known before becoming a customer?
I would like to know about reputation of the site and quality service rating, certified, trusted and recommended by many.
* How have they handled your support queries?
Very well, just like true professionals. They are quick, specific and polite.
* What level of technical expertise do their customers need?
A normal customer need Technical rating 8/10. Technically 4/10, customer should know, and rest they can ask from support team.
* How have Go Daddy handled any problems?
In a quick and smart way. Very professioanlly.
* What kind of customer is this host suitable for?
I am using economic type hosting, and I must say Its ideal, for new webmasters who wants to start with economic type hosting, because of GoDaddy support team and features which are included in economic type hosting.
* Would you recommend Go Daddy to friends?
definitely yes. 100%
I must recommend to any onw who will ask for domian registration or hositng. Because GoDaddy give excellent services on very low price.
As of this review, GoDaddy.com is the fastest-growing registrar, according to WebHosting.Info, thanks mostly to its aggressive pricing. You'll find very inexpensive packages for domain registration and a hosting of a simple Web site.
Many inexperienced site builders may want to spend a substantial amount of time on the phone for handholding, so that's a caveat to consider. Otherwise, Go Daddy can give you a nice-looking Web site with ample storage, at very competitive pricing.
I feel, however, that GoDaddy.com should have more human enough face to accommodate a request to at least pro-rate the expense. That's would be great to giving more wonderful customer services as we as cunsomers, concerned so far.
And now so far, I think, that GoDaddy.com has make a lot of services-upgrading, especially on their toll-free service. So now they can proof that their services aren't just such as the salesman only, but they really have more support.
Godaddy is a great hosting company so far its been a year and i don't have any problems with them, My site is still very small so maybe when it gets larger i could have a different view but so far it runs smoothly just maybe a few minor problems but not everything is perfect.Support is ok as its takes them some time to respond to any questions i have asked, also i don't like it when you ask a question and your waiting for a day plus to get a answer and all Go Daddy Rep will say is "sorry we can't reproduce that error" This has happened to me a few times and i don't like the support sometimes.Some rcommendation i would like to make for Go daddy is that they should have a support forum, where basic questions can be answered quickly also the Go daddy website is a bit too heavy to load its takes me some time to load all the content, they should have a low quality version of the site. But over all they are a good hosting company no problems so far and i will recommend telling my friends to Go daddy, Hopefully i would not get any hiccups anytime in the future
I have been using godaddy for about 1,5 years, i have been using economy and deluxe plan. I currently host all of my domains through GoDaddy even if it isn't perfect, by the way nothing is perfect. As i rated above, the uptime is perfect, for me it is 100%, i have never got problems from this point of view. The support is ok as well, they answer to your questions in few hours, but godaddy would need some more experienced staff, i mean on the programming side, because i've encountered a problem with some php settings/script and they have not been able to answer me properly. Godaddy's control panel is slow and it requires a lot of authentifications and it doesn't offer too many options as other hosting providers do, that's why i said godaddy is not perfect.
I have been a customer of Godaddy from 3 years. I'm completely satisfied with their services.
My journey with Godaddy started with their free hosting account given with domain name. Since I was a newbie to web world I just wanted to try out things without loosing any money. I had googled around and had went with them. I just believed that a company having millions of clients will surely be of worth !
In no time I upgraded to their premium plan. Want I like the most in Godaddy is their seamless integration with all their products. I do have all my domains with Godaddy and its easy to configure and manage them with my hosting. Their control panel is very simple and easy to use. The navigation is very easy throughout the site. They also provide a lot of free features with the account like Google adwords credits. Their Hosting Connection makes it easy to setup popular scripts. They have also integration with Google webmaster tools which enhances my sites Search Engine Visibility.
I have read many people blubbering about poor support from Godaddy. But till date I did not face any such problem. Whenever I raise a support ticket it has been answered with 12-24 hours. Even there are times when it was the problem from my side they have solved it !
I think Godaddy is suitable for all kinds of hosting needs. Even I have recently upgraded to their Virtual Dedicated Server(VDS) since I had 25+ sites on my Shared Hosting and I wanted to setup some Wordpress MU + Buddypress sites.
Even I have been recommending Godaddy to my friends and even they are satisfied with their services. Although I keep checking out about other hosting companies with shiny plans/prices I never dare to go with them ! I'm with Godaddy from starting and there is still a long way to go with them !
Go daddy.
that says it all! Go daddy website hosting and domains are incredible. Their customer service is incredible, always up, and have great features. If you just use domain hosting, the way that go daddy interfaces with other sites such as www.smugmug.com is incredible! not to mention how amazingly EASY it is!! I give Go daddy a 2 thumbs up!! 5-Stars!!
I never expected that the cheapest hosting would also have the most up time, best customer support, and most free features. I'm on a budget so these things are very nice to have without paying on godaddy, when on other sites you would have to pay a huge fee. Also I'm a big fan of their quick response times, Godaddy isn't a company that's going to pull a 'bait and switch'. For example, I put in a request to have my server switched from Windows to Linux, the entire process took less than two hours. I don't think I could do an entire server transfer that fast if they were sitting in front of me! Thanks Godaddy!
I have registered my domain names with godaddy.com. The registration was quick and snappy. Very good experience.
Support can improve though. The domain name configuraiton page should be made more "novice" user friendly. Its too detailed and technical for configuration. I am still not able to configure google apps on it. I gave up since I did not have the time to explore.
I keep getting good offers from godaddy. The recent 2$ domain name offer just did not work. All I wanted was 1 more domain name, 100 email accounts @mydomainname.com and want to host my simple html website. As of now I know I have to go thru a complex set of options to understand what they have to offer and purchase it. Just sooo many options during purchase. I wish the site was more user/purchasing friendly.
Now, where is my 10$ coupon :)...
I've been using Go Daddy hosting for several years now and after trying quite a few other hosting companies, they have been the most reliable with server up time that I have used.
They also have a lot of features and provide pretty much everything someone hosting a web site would need. The only "not so great" comment I have is that sometimes their customer service technical support is not experienced enough, so do not know how to help with problems that are more complicated then the normal general hosting type of problems. Overall I have been pleased with them as a hosting company.
I even love the site survey feature & the fact i own a few domains.
I started with Godaddy.com many years later and it always provide me the best deal comparing to other sites whether it's domain registering or hosting. Got lots of coupon codes around online which i used and save lots of money and this is really awesome.
Godaddy.com has an excellent customer supports which is always here to respond to your need. You can call them at anytime and they are here to help you. You got a 24/24 support system. You can even mail them and they always respond to your mail within 24 hours. It even have a help center with known question and answers.
Godaddy provides many hosting plans to their customers whether for personal or business use at a very low or affordable price.
I recommend using godaddy hosting which is great and save lots of money. 99.9 uptime guarantee and they simply rocks with their great services.
thanks

Very ordinary when it comes to support, the word pathetic comes to mind! I'm a newbie trying to set up a web site. I decided to create a blog using Wordpress. I chose GoDaddy because they offered installation support on a whole range of applications. Initially I had trouble installing Wordpress. When I asked for some support I was told they don't offer support on third part applications. So why advertise that you do if you don't? Eventually, I got things going with wordpress. But simple answers to my questions would have saved me hours of learning!
Now I have a server based problem that appears through Wordpress in the form of an error message. I'm told by GoDaddy that it's a scripting error and they don't support third party software. No GoDaddy it's not a scripting error! It's a windows server error, presumably because of my incorrect initial installation. It's pointing to a local host URL and I don't know how to change it. If someone at GoDaddy at least told me where to start looking, I would have appreciated that!
Anyway, I purchased a two month hosting option to see how my ideas would work.... I will now take my money elsewhere, obviously GoDaddy are recession proof and don't need my money.
Stay away from GoDaddy if your a newbie! Spend more for good old fashioned service elsewhere.
On a final note if anyone knows a way of contacting GoDaddy management I would appreciate it. Thanks...
Everything comes secondary. Priority is Support. A live hosted site should not remain down for 4 -5 days due to lack of support and excuses saying something like "Thank you for contacting Online Support, I have looked into the escalation and our advanced support team are still investigating this matter"
I have faced this problem. Godaddy are spending more on advertisement and very less on support. All what they want is an Automatic support system if that's fail then only god knows when the issue will resolve.

As a person how uses Godaddy as their web host and a person who resells godaddy products I believe Godaddy has the best value for your dollar. The products are world class along with their 24/7 service. From someone who has never had a hosting company or website before to the multi million dollar business owner you will find the most reliable and easy to set up web hosting that money can buy.
I've tried several different hosting providers for my site, however Go Daddy seems to be the best option (for me) for inexpensive hosting providers.
The one issue I have with the service however is the ridiculously large amount of "sales pitches" you have to go through to buy the service and/or domain name. Yeah, they provide you with links to skip them, but they're hard to find.
But, besides these overbearing sales techniques, if you're looking for a reliable and inexpensive hosting provider, give them a shot.
- Unlimited bandwidth/storage
- Great value budget hosting
- 24/7 phone support
- World's largest domain registrar
- Interface can be overwhelming for new users
