yes, the first week the site was down twice

* How was your experience with tech/customer support?
Support sucks, terrible not willing to help out at all.

* Other remarks?
do not support fopen, and any curl that you run on your site has to be ran through their proxy and does not work well at all. Support is terrible and unwilling to help. Currently looking for another host to transfer my site too.

Not very easy, too many screens and different places
to go
* How easy was it to install your software / content?
OK
* How fast/responsive is the website compared to your expectations?

They give you thousands of email boxes, but if you
want a box with more than 10 megs, you have to pay
more

* Did you experience some downtime?
Yes, email often won't send

* How was your experience with tech/customer support?
They can't do anything.

First, they do NOT allow remote access to databases. I guess I didn't know enough to ask before purchasing a one year plan. I was trying to figure that out before uploading entire sites. Calling them to ask for help was hit and miss. True issue: I called to ask about how I could go about uploading contents of a second site I'd made a domain for. I was told to use the same FTP info as my original site and things should go fine. I had to point out, a few times, that this would mean I'd have 2 index.html with two different sites being uploaded into the same directory. I was put on hold and then Rep came back to say I was correct, and there were a few other steps to follow with instructions about uploading the second site. Account was closed not 24hrs after it having been opened.

* How easy was it to sign up?
Very easy.

* How easy was it to install your software / content?
If you use a regular FTP client, very easy.

* How fast/responsive is the website compared to your expectations?
Fast enough for small, basic sites.

* Did you experience some downtime?
Very little

* How was your experience with tech/customer support?
Very poor. They are not very knowledgable about their service or equipment, what their servers can handle, what extras are installed on their servers (such as Zend or Ioncube Loader, etc.), how to help you if you have script or transfer issues, etc. etc. etc.:no: -- now, on the other hand, if you want to know how much you owe them, or they want you to extend your contract, or if they think you should upgrade to a better service (read: more space/bandwidth), they're excellent at telling you about all that!!!:D

* Other remarks?
One of the few hosting services that still allow you to pay by the month (it seems most want you to pay for a full year or two - which is stupid because if you're not pleased with the host, you've got to go through the hassle of trying to get the money for the unused service back).

Godaddy is good enough for small or personal sites that don't require much in extras (like a cgi-bin or cron jobs) or use much bandwidth (I host weirdwallee.com with them). But if you need a heavy duty host, best to move on to someone else.

Very easy!

Also very easy

* How fast/responsive is the website compared to your expectations?
Seems to work just fine for my needs and I have a wallpaper/graphic site

* Did you experience some downtime?
Not yet

* How was your experience with tech/customer support?
So far I've been able to find what I needed

* Other remarks?
I love the fact that they offer a true monthly service with no setup fee. If not for that, at this point in time I could not have gotten started. Most companies want to sign you on for at least 6 months or more (and hit you with the bill all at once) and most of us starting out just can't do that! And what if you don't like the service?

The only thing I really "don't" like about GoDaddy is the mature stuff they advertise consistently. I'm sure many guys would not complain about that, LOL, but as a Christian and a woman, I find it pretty offensive and don't care for it. When I can, I will be moving to a different site and longer contract if needed. I am considering Host Gator, but need to do a bit more research into it as their reviews were not very good, no point in having a site if people will not be able to enjoy it.

If not for the whole mature "girls girls girls" theme, though, I would stay with Go Daddy for as long as I needed hosting.

My experience with GoDaddy customer support has always been first rate. If you call in the evenings it is super easy to get ahold of a real person, unlike some other hosting plans.

* How easy was it to sign up?
Screens are salesy and distracting and confusing. They could learn how to make their setup process easier if they'd make it more like using an ATM or Gas pump than the controls of a jumbo jet.

* Did you experience some downtime?
No
* How was your experience with tech/customer support?
Called once got right thru, person was helpful.

* Other remarks?
Biggest drawback for me: 88|Cannot use SQL Server Mgmt Studio, they make you use their own pages to access it, and its not clear how I'm going to upload data other than preping sql scripts and cutting and pasting it there. Bummer

I have purchased a number of domains from GoDaddy and considered moving a number of my Web sites to their servers for hosting, but after viewing Bob Parson's vlogs about the "GoDaddy Girls" and other vlogs by him, I decided to take my business elsewhere.

Why would you repeatedly promote yourself and your company with sophomoric, frat-style "humor" and make your corporate models act like Playboy bunnies? I can only imagine how they treat their female employees in the office.

* Other remarks?
On prenium hosting (£7 m/o) they say "unlimited domains" but so far i can put the domains on the account but they all root to the main domain, what makes no sence, and there customer service isnt persionlised to what your question is, they just send you a template they probly get from a drop down box, and half the time it doesnt have the information you asked for,

To be honest, im thinking of moving away from godaddy, there site is rubbish what makes everything complicated, they have like 10 screens to do a simple little task where a good provider has about 2.. Hmmm... Doesnt sound good does it? - Don't go with them becuase of the price, they are prety much rubbish..

If you are hosting any amount of files DONOT use Godaddy. I had a clan site with them for 4 years and hosted files the whole time. I even was talked into UPGRADING to more storage and bandwidth by their costomer service dept. Well today i got amn email my site is in violation of their TOS due to me hosting a "file repository" Now what was hosted was mods, mappacks, free games ect (Warrock, Combat Arms, Insurgency Mod for example) and I was well under the limit (39 gigs of 150 gigs storage and never even came close to the monthly 1.5 terabyte of transfer) BUT they said I was in violation none the less. Use my case as a warning for clan site or gaming file hosting.
