GoDaddy Reviews by Experts and Users

MAYBE THREE AGENTS OUT OF HUNDREDS OVER A 6 YEAR SPAN HAD
ANY ANSWERS! LIKE BEING PUT INSIDE AN OLD SHOE BOX AND
COVERED WITH OLD CLOTHING INSIDE A CLOSET WHEN IT COMES TO
HAVING WEBSITE FOUND BY INTERNET TRAVELERS. I'D HATE TO
THINK THAT THERES WEB HOSTING THATS WORSE THAN GODADDY.
TO BE WORSE WOULD HAVE TO BE THE COCONUT SHELL COMPUTER WEB
HOSTING BUILT BY THE PROFESSOR, AFTER GILLIGAN BROKE IT!
POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. INADEQUATE PROGRAMS, WHY DANCE TO THE
GOOGLE DRUMS? PITIFUL. GODADDY SHOULD BE RAN OUT OF DODGE
FOR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES. 

I guess everybody already knows, but godaddy has got to be the worst in the business

Have had Godaddy for a while and has been ok get an email about copywrite infringement from them and they take down my site! When you read there email it is a complaint from true religion jeans about a site called online brand jeans which I don't even own they did not even take the right website down and I have been out 3 days unreal terrible business practice they will be hearing from my lawyer way to go dumb daddy moving all my stuff off them ASAP!!!! 

I was a little leery based on some of the reviews on the web but personally I've had a great experience with Go Daddy. The bandwidth both up and down stream are excellent, up time is great 9never noticed site down in 6 months) and support (when needed) is fantastic. Highly recommended. 

GoDaddy seemed to be the obvious choice for my business's needs, as that was the first name anyone said when you ask who should you set up a small-business website/email with. The site upload was easy enough, but the real problem came with the email. HUGE DELAYS!!!! I'm talking about 3-6 hours on average. Sure, that's not a big deal when you're just sending Grandma a Happy Birthday, but when I'm trying to book freight for a truck that's empty and sitting on the side of the road, that's ridiculous. I called support over and over again, mostly getting the standard "we're not having issues... Read more

Godaddy has peaks and valleys on there shared hosting. Of cause it is always much traffic in weekends,, that's when your server uploads takes server time Out. Their dashbord is a joke, to slow to ugly to bad.. 

i tried godaddy hosting service for 5 months, is really worst hosting i ever had, every day is always have slowest up time or download time than the other hosting, i really not recommended to anyone, right now i think about change hosting service. i think godaddy have a great name the have a great service n hosting, but i'm totally wrong, when i decided to use their service it's the worst decision i ever make!!! 

REALLY, really really bad service. My service is unavailable nearly all the time. I cant seem to load anything, and it all keeps timing out. Really slow servers also and you are limited so much. They also have a very bad UI which can be very confusing for beginners. I would not recommend them to ANYONE. 

Lousy, lousy, lousy! Absolutely the worst of the bunch (and I've tried more than a few). GoDaddy used to be so excellent, but now, every time you call them for support their first claim is, "Well, I've never heard anyone complain about that before!" or "We have no other complaints like that", etc. Then, they go about arguing with you trying to convince you that YOU are the problem or mistaken, etc. I have literally wasted hundreds of hours and have even gone so far as to write special test software to prove that the problems I had were on THEIR servers! In more than one case, I finally had... Read more

very unfriendly interface for users. very low value for money. extremely limited services. the only good thing is that you get less chances to have your website hacked because it is so hard to edit and host your won website that the hackers do not even bother to try to do it as well.... 

not bad, no complaints, got the 1.99 a month economy plan so at that rate i cant really be too upset 

I have tried Godaddy three times over the past several years just to see if anything has changed - It hasn't. Installing applications such as SMF, or Coppermine take forever.

They have long drawn out names and numbers for every database you make (confusing), and their interface is the worst in the business. If all that wasn't enough, the worst part is that every frigging page you go to in your account, they are shoving something in your face trying to get you to buy more services.

The place is not worth the trouble. I have been with Ace-Host since around 2004. They are not as cheap, but you... Read more

If you have the time to talk to technical support, they are very helpful, but if you need to email GoDaddy, forget it. it will take them 3-4 hours or much more to respond to you. I have the deluxe service, and if I only had one domain in it, it would be acceptable, but when you try to add multiple domains (which is the reason you buy the "Deluxe" service) it's simply a mess. You have to have technical support help you almost every time to get things working. I don\'t think their self-administration tools work very well at all.Need help? Trying to get around... Read more

Godaddy isn\'t as good as it seems. I like the pricing and the easy navigation. However, SQL database has a limited size- so if your hosting a forum- look forward to deleting lots of threads frequently. SQL database timed out frequently and produced errors daily. They shut-down your site early!!! Which is the main reason I chose new hosting at Hostgator. For example, let\'s say you purchase a month at Godaddy today, your hosting will expire on July 5th, but they\'ll suspend your account July 4th at 12am. Soooo, always pay early... if hosting f=gets suspended and you don\'t pay- you lose everything, users/posts/db. 

Great hosting. No downtime. Customer is world class!! 

I tried a couple of web site hosts before godaddy. I wanted to build my own site, not to be cheap but because I wanted to have control of updating content without having to rely on someone else.
The first two hosts claimed to have easy site builders but neither had support that was really of any use. I ended up frustrated with each of them. I tried godaddy and originally was just as frustrated because I just couldn't figure out a lot of things. I didn't even try to call support because I had gotten such poor response from the other providers.

why don't visit nodadyy.com to know better of godaddy, their email client is no function for some counties at all, but they claim it is OK, and take me one month to set up and modify configuration, none of them is workable. at the end I even could not get a full refund, 

The server has been unreliable. When it isn't down, it tends to be incredibly slow. Even simple SQL queries frequently time out. 

Godaddy.com CS persons are uninformed & untrained in technical aptitude & advice. Godaddy.com Supervisors are equally bad with a FU customer attitude. Transfers planned months in advance with recorded directions from Godaddy.com CS reps not executed properly by Godaddy.com. Godaddy continuously blamed the previous registar Network Solutions. I spoke with the previous registar multiple times and persons including supervisors who kept checking into the release and confirmed they were not holding anything up. Spent hours and weeks on the phone with both companies, when a Supervisor from Godaddy.com, took it upon himself to credited back my paid fees, washed his hands of the transactions. One domain then expired and I... Read more

I use Godaddy for all my hosting and email needs. They have some of the best customer support and their uptime is 99.9999999%. In three years I have only had one time where the email was down and it was for 15 minutes and they gave me a free month in exchange for my troubles. 

Good company, been hostinf with them for almost 5 years now. 

I used quite a few hosting providers, and all of them have downtimes, and its issues, but overall GoDaddy has best tech support, and much more reliable than most of its competition within the same price range. 

My site was down 3 times in 2 1/2 months . Go Daddy never notified me, I found out I was down for a few days. I had to call Go Daddy to republish the site. They just said there was a problem with the Nameservers and were really nonchalant. 

Go Daddy has been nothing less then a nightmare for me and my access database. I get very vague answers from the support folks and they usually turn the problem back on me without any guidance. When I search their help pages, 100's of users are making the exact same complaint and many have just move to another hosting company. 

I've used them for years... time to move on. My site is down about half of the day lately on average, it takes hours-days to get a response to a ticket and calling just puts you on hold with annoying music for an hour... then transferred and put on hold again... rinse/repeat. You have to sort through 6 million sales pitches to do anything on their site... so on and so on. 

I think this company rocks. They have all the services. I send all my web clients to get hosting from them. They stand out how: Its called the go daddy hosting connection. Where they have alot of applications and you donwload and install with a click of a button.

Would recommend to anyone 

I do have godaddy web hosting ,and it is a pain to use there interface . and I wish i never got theam as a web host . I must now find a new host , one I can use. 

Super-fast and knowledgeable technical support team always answered and helped me in one call. Had to call 4 times now to resolve issues of features/upgrades that I either did not fully understand or to correct something I messed up. 

As a domain name provider - fine. But they do not seem to be hosting competent. The uptime is fine. I really hate the pig of a tour you need to control anything. I have two websites, and they are mixed into a single account. The web stats (sign up specially or you get nothing) are simply a graph of total traffic for the account. Not individual site data - more like an accountant tracking your usage. Nothing like Webalizer or AWstats where you find time of day visits and search words used. The data may be there in the welter of links and adverts splattered on the page.... Read more

Ok, I'm not a big fan of the GoDaddy commercials (although many of my male friends are) - they simply don't manage to convince that they have the best web hosting on the market. However, I pretty impressed by the quality of their hosting. I've been a customer of theirs for 6 months now and Istill haven't experienced any major issues with downtime. Trust me - I had with my prvious host. The customer support is ok I guess and I like the control panel. I can recommend GoDaddy hosting - not their commercials. 

BEWARE of GoDaddy they host over TWO HUNDRED malicious websites on one of their servers & refuse to respond to concerns about this. When I get a program submission that turns out to be bait-&-switch, not freeware or has illegal functions (like copying copy protected DVD's) it is almost always hosted by GoDaddy & hidden behind their anonymous domain registration service. 

I've been a customer of Godaddy's for about a year now and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for good web hosting. I've never had any problems with downtime and the features that are included in their hosting plan (economy plan in my case)… Well, it impresses me. I only had a few bugs in the beginning and then I got all the support I needed. I give Godaddy the thumbs up! 

I signed up with GoDaddy a couple of months ago and we've had our ups and downs. One thing that I really have to point out is that their customer support always has been excellent. I challenge you to find an equally good support team elsewhere. A thing that I don't like equally much is the control panel. It's just not that user-friendly. But once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. Maybe they should spend less money on their commercials and put it on making some small fixes instead. 

I had a domain with GoDaddy for almost four years, when suddenly, they sold my domain name out from under me with no warning. When I discovered my website was suddenly GONE one day, I contacted them, and they said there had been a problem with my account ALMOST A YEAR AGO (even though my site had JUST disappeared) and they canceled my service. Then immediately sold my domain to the first squatter they saw. And THEN offered to let me use their BROKER SERVICE TO BID ON MY OWN SITE. Of course, all of this time, they were still charging me the monthly amount to host the site that... Read more

Unlimited Hosting - Linux - Monthly

I have had GoDaddy for YEARS and YEARS. I have really given them the benefit of the doubt at times. However... here is an ACTUAL, right this second, $uptime: 14:27:50 up 4 days, 6:59, 1 user, load average: 10.09, 12.10, 15.55

These loads are low compared to the ones I have seen in the very recent past.

The connections are so very laggy that I can't upload or download any decent size files and my site is an MMO Game Development site- Uncool.

I am using Web Hosting Reviews to find my new provider and while I am at it, I will give GoDaddy a... Read more
