GoDaddy Rocks

Nov 14 2011

Recommended to me by my college professor; As a first time web builder their support and start up was straightforward. Signing up with go daddy was the best thing that I could have done; with their help, I have become a professional web designer.

Generally Good

Oct 28 2011

My experience with godaddy has generally been good. Apart from the slighty lazy customer service, who at times don't bother to reply, the hosting has been very good, since most of my needs are simple like running a wordpress blog and phpBB forum.

One of the Best Hosting Companies Out There

Aug 17 2011

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 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.

Great Support

Aug 17 2011

Really easy to set yp and use. I am fairly new to this but I was still able to do most of it myself. I had a problem pushing my pages from dreamweaver so I called in and they helped me configure my dreamwever FTP access. They have been nothing but helpful, inexpensive and easy to use! Im happy I host with GoDaddy.

Recent Transfer to Go Daddy

Aug 17 2011

Just a quick note to let you know how thrilled I am with Go Daddy. I had heard and seen their ads for a while, so when I grew fed up with my previous provider, I transferred my 10 existing domains to Go Daddy and I opened a web host account and transferred my commercial photography business website to Go Daddy. When I transferred the web site --- it was amazing how quick and painless it was. The whole process of opening and setting up my new web hosting account and FTPing the site to Go Daddy took less than 15 minutes, and it took only about an hour for the DNS change to propagate! Go Daddy's email-based instructions were very thorough, and their web-based site controls are very easy and intuitive to use. Finally, moving my domains and my website to Go Daddy has saved me about 60% per year!!! I am extremely pleased with Go Daddy!

use for client project

Aug 17 2011

I recently chose to use GoDaddy.com webhosting and domain services for a client project that I was working on. GoDaddy offers a plethora of add on services for webhosting accounts that just can’t be found for cheap anywhere else.
I found the website a little bit difficult to use, in comparison to some other webhost services that I have used in the past, but so far I have experienced almost no down time. I only encountered an error one time with their services, which upon contacting customer support, they corrected and refunded to me in a matter of minutes. It may not be the easiest site to use for the beginning web designer, but if you have experience it is the way to go. If its speed and ease of use that you’re looking for, at a great price, then GoDaddy is definatley for you. If you’re willing to take some time to learn the site and how to use its features, it’s a treasure trove waiting to be discovered.

Overall, an excellent hosting provider

Aug 17 2011

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. Cheap domain names and low monthly hosting fees that are 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.

Great Host For My Small Buisness

Aug 17 2011

My small business site moved to GoDaddy a few years ago and I could not have been happier with them. They made it easy for me with their merchant services and shopping cart and QuickBooks with no hassle. They customer support is professional and very supportive in any issues through any medium of support.

Great for Domain Names and Hosting

Aug 17 2011

I have hosted several websites an both go-daddy and another host. Actually I liked both of them. They each gave their good and bad points. I do however tend to lean towards go-daddy because of all the features they offer as opposed to others. Their customer support is probably the main reason I stick with go-daddy, it’s the best I’ve ever seen. You may have a little wait time to speak with a representative over the phone, but it is well worth the wait. They really do care about their customers.
I also like the coupons that are available to buy domain names. There is also a site you can visit to shop for available domain names really fast that is linked to go-daddy. So when you find one you like that is available, you simply click on it and it will take you right to the go-daddy page to purchase and register it.
When your fighting for a domain name in a popular niche, this can be really helpful.

outstanding customer service

Aug 17 2011

I had some trouble signing up to use Go Daddy at first so I called into their customer service center and was connected to one of their customer service representatives. I had a couple quick simple questions. In about the same amount of time I had planned on spending on hold, their representative was able to set up a large portion of the account registration for me and fully explained in detail what my different options were. He even helped alter my order to better suit my needs. His quick yet thorough explanations removed a lot of the nervousness that had been growing the closer I got to committing to a server. All in all I was very leery of starting a website on my own and was just as leery about going with Go Daddy. I am now a secure, happy customer of Go Daddy and bragged to several of my friends last night about how much money I saved doing it myself with Go Daddy instead of paying a web master to create my site

two months in, my experience with godaddy has generally been good. Apart from the slighty lazy customer service, who at times don't bother to reply, the hosting has been very good, since most of my needs are simple like running a wordpress blog and phpBB forum. For it's prices, godaddy is doing an excellent job. Keep it up !

Deluxe Account User

Aug 17 2011

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.

GoDaddy Is Good

Aug 19 2011

So far, my experience with Go Daddy has been good. Yes, their servers should be faster, but I do not know of any other providers that can offer the MS SQL and ASP.NET for the same price

Nothing But Good

Aug 19 2011

I have had nothing but good expireinces with go daddy, I use the virtual dedicated server and will probably upgrade to full dedicated, but I have had no problems and also think that they have fairly good tech support, I also run a website, a teamspeak server, a Mirc server, and soon a few game servers, but overall, I highly reccommend this host.

Go Daddy Good Reputation and Great Price

Aug 17 2011

Always choose an established hosting site over a start-up. GoDaddy has a good reputation and it definitely lives up to the rep. With great prices, and those famous commercials, Go Daddy definitley provides everything I need. I use Joomla, Wordpress blogs and PHP apps with no issue! Unlimited domain hosting for a couple hundred bucks a year, you just cant beat that, especially with a start-up.
