I have a number of sites with Go daddy. I believe they are over selling on their servers and are putting profits over service. My sites load very slow and my web guy is frustrated making changes and has given up. It has taken over 12 secs to load with server not found codes. They have offered to move me to a new server and seem to be unable to fix the problem. They say 10 secs for loading is just fine. Google will mark you slow and you will lose rank. My business depends on my sites and right now my business is taking the toll of Go Daddys profits. if they are so big why dont they just add a server to accommodate all the new biz the are getting. I am not happy with a load time of over 12 secs and i am very worried i will lose my wonderful first page rank, They have suggested dedicated and I would. I am not cheap. But, i need support for that and I would need them to move the sites for me. Other companies do do that for you but not GD. I am not a web genius. They may be profitable but they will not maintain it if they do not re think their biz model. They may be great for domains but hosting is not their forte. I am hopeful for a change. I am hoping this review will help me get some service.

I have been using GoDaddy for about 3 years now and I can say it it one of the best hosting companies out there.
I will say this though, for a beginner coming to the website it can be a bit confusing at first but after a few visits you start to get used to the way the layout is. I have used many hosting companies and I think GoDaddy is the cheapest there is and the great thing is is that anyone can use it no matter how skilled you are with websites there is something for you I did have one big problem about a year ago when some of my hosting was acting up but the service team was quick to help me out with that. |

I have been using Godaddy for over a year now to host multiple websites on the Deluxe hosting account. During this time I have not had ANY issues with speed or uptime. I find their Cpanel very easy to use. I also emailed their support staff a few time with questions that I had and just like they said, all my questions were answered within 24 hours. I would recommend Godaddy to anyone, and with their coupons that you can find just about anywhere on the internet, they are usually half the price of their competitors. | |||||||

STAY AWAY FROM GODADDY!
For the past two years I've been a GoDaddy client (holding 2 grids, 2 virtual and 1 fully dedicated) their customer service is by far the worst customer service (in general, not even in the world of hosting). and the quality of their servers are poor. We have lost over 80 hours of downtime on the dedicated servers that are not working and when they figure out the problem was with their hardware they refuse to refund. Although their prices are low the quality of their dedicated server is just as good as a cloud space on Rackspace. Do yourself a favor and don't start with GoDaddy, review other options. |

In my opinion I would say that GoDaddy is the best Website hoster out there. I have been using it for many years not and have had no problems with it. It has every feature a website owner could want. It does take a bit of time to get used to, but after you do you will never go to another web host again.
Any time I have had a problem (which isn't that often) customer service has been so good in getting back to me ASAP and always helping me out. I would recamend GoDaddy to anybody. |

Godaddy's servers are slow! My blog doesn't even get over 100 visitors per day and my site will timeout once in a while. Support is not bad but there is no toll free number. | |||||||

I'm not a web expert and have only hosted a simple web site for the past several years, so I have a different take on Godaddy.com. The site is confusing. The FAQs and Tutorials are circular and use too much jargon. Every time you select and option it opens a new window or tab--usually to the same page you were just on. My password and user name or number are often flagged as invalid--even though the phone support can't tell me why. In fact, the phone support staff, as quick and helpful as they are, seem unaware and unconcerned with the poor architecture of the site in general. It seems that people who know their way around the jargon have a good experience with Godaddy. But I'd advise the casual, I-want-to-start-a-blog types like me to go somewhere else. Unless you want to spend time and money chatting with one of their phone reps everytime you want to log in. | |||||||

I've hosted a few (8+) websites with GoDaddy, and so far I've been impressed with the quality overall.
Their support has a few options when you need to get in touch with them. Their FAQs are fairly wide-spread ranging from basic questions to a moderate-level of expertise. I've received a few phone calls from their customer-care, or whatever they call it, department regarding my user satisfaction. And I've been quite impressed in that regards. They answered any questions I had and made me feel assured that they care. Price-wise they are very good. $10 domain names and a cheap $3/mo hosting is pretty good. Unless you're hosting large media files on your server, bandwidth and storage wont be an issue. I haven't had too many problems with reliability. Servers are fast and I've never had any problems, or heard of any from customers, about the website being down or load times. Overall, an excellent hosting provider. |

Hosting with GoDaddy is one of the worst experiences I have ever had with web hosting.
I have had problem after problem the entire time I have been with them. At first, it seemed like a good deal, since they offer really cheap hosting packages. But when you figure out the amount of money lost when your site is down, it actually costs more to host with GoDaddy. |

I have been hosting with GoDaddy for a while and for the price it's not bad. The control is a bit confusing and slow but overall it works good. I have never had to deal with support so I can't tell. | |||||||

I've hosted a lot of sites w/ godaddy, its cheap, reliable and servers are very fast. I haven't ever had a technical problem. I've only had a few minutes of downtime in last 2 years. The technical support is limited to extremley basic and simplistic questions. If you need to ask any questions out of ordinary you're on your own. | |||||||
