    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.

    I find HDP easy to use and solves most of the problems for people looking to manage their big data. Evaluating the Hortonworks Data Platform is easy as it is free to download and install in your cluster. Single node cluster available as Sandbox is also easy for POCs.

    • Email hosting - easy to set up and use, wether in an email app or online email.
    • Wordpress hosting - I have multiple wordpress sites I use under one account
    • Their customer service is always very helpful and easy to contact.

    • It does a good job of packaging a lot of big data components into bundles and lets you use the ones you are interested in or need. It supports an extensive list of components which lets us solve many problems.
    • It provides the ability to manage installations and maintenance using Apache Ambari. It helps us in using management packs to install/upgrade components easily. It also helps us add, remove components, add, remove hosts, perform upgrades in a convenient manner. It also provides alerts and notifications and monitors the environment.
    • What they excel in is packaging open source components that are relevant and are useful to solve and complement each other as well as contribute to enhancing those components. They do a great job in the community to keep on top of what would be useful to users, fixing bugs and working with other companies and individuals to make the platform better.

    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.

    • Since it doesn't come with propriety tools for big data management, additional integration is need (for query handling, search, etc).
    • It was very straightforward to store clinical data without relations, such as data from sensors of a medical device. But it has limitations when needed to combine the data with other clinical data in structured format (e.g. lab results, diagnosis).
    • Overall look and feel of front-end management tools (e.g. monitoring) are not good. It is not bad but it doesn't look professional.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    We chose [Hortonworks Data Platform] because it's free and because [it] was an IBM partner, suggested as big data platform after biginsights platform.
    You can install in more physical computer without high specs, then you can use it in order to learn how to deploy, configure a complete big data cluster.
    We installed also in a cloud infrastructure of 5 virtual machine

    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.

    • It is difficult to have a negative impact, because the required investment is not that high.
    • The big open community behind Hortonworks and related Apache Project makes it easy to put 'the wheel to meet the road' quite quickly.
    • We have seen management meetings where the attendants were impressed by the results achieved with the datalake built on HDP.
