and here is a review for godaddy by a user. Its a bad review. They arent looking too good for me..
The Good
- affordable
- i did like their control panel and didn't add to storage like cPanel does
- accounts are setup instantly
- free
Dedicated IP with purchase of SSL certificate
- single control panel and billing login
The Bad
- email control panel is ***
- you can't have seperate e-mail for other addon (seperate) domains you have.
- FTP times out in seconds if you don't use it constantly
- Takes a long time for a subdomain, pointer or addon domain to become active, even if the control panel says it's active
- I dont think any of their support staff are educated in computers and networking. Ask them a question, they talk about a totally different thing.
- VPS takes too long to setup, making you frustates and antcy
- You can't use their hosting for a variety of things, it's very limited. Which you don't expect because their policies are broad and unclear and takes their legal department over a week to ask questions.
- slow website response and load speed
- MySQL take to long to create and you dont get to add users to specific ones
-- can't have additional name servers as backup increase their name servers fail. You are forced just to use theirs (Only).
- it states 5 mins response on their support site, but yet takes over a day for a response (don't believe what the wait time states!)
- you can not set the storage amount for emails
- auto install scripts are limited and some scripts produce errors because not properly installed.
The Company Bad
- there is nothing good about the company, expect the domains do come with many features compared to other registrars
- I'm tired of my money going to support hoochie mamas and offensive commericals (I dont mind half naked girls, dont get me wrong, but resorting to get business, crosses the line for me, especially when it's my money that pays for it)
- The CEO Bob Parsons, comparing GoDaddy's charitable donations to other companies, saying that larger companies should donate more, when he should congrat. companies on donating any amount period.
