Go Daddy Review : godaddy.com

The downtime is unbearable, it happens so frequently. And, the tech response time to all of my concerns and questions has been taking way too long which has been delaying the release of my new website updated to the public.

With a whole load of websites needing a new host – I gave up with my last one as they never got back to me when I needed help – I found there was so much choice it was hard to know where to start. I’m not afraid to say I sort of came across GoDaddy by accident, but now I can safely recommend them to all. This is a great company that treats its customers like real people, provides a reliable and cost effective service with plenty of bandwidth and an easy to use package that will appal across the board. It’s GoDaddy, and it’s certainly worth a look.

From day 1 of using GoDaddy for both registration and hosting, have had regular issues - from email access and sending issues, to the ftp being flakey. Sometimes logging in to manage my account, the password doesn't work (been stored on computer in password keychain, so know it is correct). When this would creep up (ever few months), I would go through the password reset function. Then I would enter in the former password as the new one - and it again would work.... for a few months. Then have to do it again. No help at all from tech support. Trying to do a site upload this evening - and 2 hours later, still haven't been able to log in via ftp. Just went through the password reset dance again - and can log in to the godaddy site and my account.

I am looking for a new host. This is getting very old.

Oh - and did I mention prices going up without notice?

we used godaddy a year ago and after our year...canceled until Jan. 09. The changes they have made has made the site very complicated to use. The font can only be enlarged to a 6. That is really pretty small for a title. To enlarge it you have to go to word...make your title the size you want it...save it to documents...go to paint to change it to a Jpeg file....ughhhhhhhhhh... the first time i used godaddy...we had a great site...everyone asked how i did it....that was then....this is now....i canceled with godaddy after 3 days. now im looking for another host....anyone have any suggestions?

Over a year ago I tried go daddy for hosting. The issues I had then ranged from not being able to upload my website to the techs not even knowing how to get me directions on how to upload the website because there were none. They were even confused and couldn't help me. I went to a different host. Recently I thought I would give them another whirl and am seriously let down again. For all the sponsorship and advertisements they do, I thought they must be better this year...not so. I haven't been able to try out any of the extras they offer because I can't even upload my website. I have now been waiting a week and my website still won't upload, the password wont' work, the customer service keeps telling me it will take 24-48 hours to fix each time I call, and it is never fixed. I am sad to say that the Easiest things to do with them is find a domain name and cancel my hosting account. The customer service, however, has improved and are very helpful, as much as they can be with go daddy's issues.
