    GoDaddy
    Good for transferring over an existing site. Truth be told, I haven't used it for building a brand new site-- I know that this is a fairly common thing but I just never needed it. For what I've used it for, it has worked well. For a small business with anyone with a little bit of technical skill, it's surprisingly good.

    Cons
    GoDaddy
    • Support agents are woefully undertrained, even in knowledge of their own products.
    • Support agents will always try to upsell you, even when you're dealing with an urgent, high-impact issue.
    • There's no guarantee of uptime, and there will often be gaps in service as part of normal procedures.

    • We encounter bugs from time to time
    • Considering it's all-in-one, individual features are not as powerful as counterparts that specialize in those services
    • Loads slowly at times

    We can't really choose anyone else and the cost/effort of moving all of the hosted data would be extremely large, and we just have to stick to them, and hope they improve service

    Usability
    GoDaddy
    Some integration could be much cleaner and smoother. Seems it used to be easier. Plus, they took away the catch all email feature.

    HighLevel is a great tool, and is a real "all rounder" that helps agencies keep costs down and profits high. It really does serve the majority of marketing agency needs, but it does fall down slightly on some specialist areas, where a dedicated CRM would be best for example. It can be a little tricky to use and buggy, which does cause some frustration sometimes.

    Support Rating
    GoDaddy
    I think a lot of companies can learn from GoDaddy's support team. I have found:
    • Chat or phone support is almost always available.
    • Their agents are friendly and helpful.
    • Their agents seem to care and be knowledgeable about a wide range of issues.
    • I rarely have to escalate my problem to get the support that I need.
    • If they can't help me, then they can tell me why something is happening and direct me to resources that can fix my problem.

    GoDaddy
    We use Wix currently for our online store. It is nice and easy to use, but they don't offer the email domains as well (the last time we checked). They have pretty decent customization of the web page, but still limited. We're going to try it with GoDaddy, since we have other services from them already. It just doesn't make sense to pay two different companies for something we can do with one.

    HighLevel competes with other funnel builders, automations providers and CRMs. HighLevel has a clear advantage in terms of value for money. It gives you a lot of bang for buck. We can get cheaper but you will not get all the same features and development speed as HighLevel. You can get a bit nicer page builders, email marketing tools etc but they will come at a lot more $$. So it really depends. You can spend some more $$ in HighLevel and get custom built css styling and make it look and feel the same as more $$ tools. So really you can't lose with HighLevel in the long run.

    Return on Investment
    GoDaddy
    • GoDaddy reduces our ROI by costing me in non-billable hours. I don't charge clients for sitting on the phone with tech support to power cycle the server or fix the php.ini file, so my $/hr takes a hit.
    • Their nickel&dime strategy requires I have an additional conversation with clients about their max recurring fees. Small as they are, I need approval for upping their bill. GoDaddy is only the cheap option if you don't value security, stability, or performance.
