Incentivized Helpful?

Not to mention they sneak things into your cart during the checkout process and reel you in with introductory … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GoDaddy We use GoDaddy because of institutional inertia.

Carter Durham Chief Creative Officer and Head of Product Chose GoDaddy GoDaddy compares well to other options and the tool used for building or updating the site content is relatively easy to use and problem-free.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	I have purchased domains through a few different sites over the years and the ones I purchased from other companies, I always had issues with. The ones I have purchased through GoDaddy were no problem at all. They have easy help pages that helps you set up step-by-step no matter where you will use your domain. I now only purchase them from GoDaddy. They also have coupon codes where you can sometimes get them for 99 cents, especially if you are a new user.

Pros	Customer service is definitely number one here. The fact that they are open for calls 24/7 and have a great support team is a really nice thing to have when you aren't fully versed in all things domains/cpanel/email etc. They also usually answer quickly. Ease of use throughout the website. It's made for the non web savvy individual, clear and instructive for proper usage. I think they know their target market well and it's nice to see that their website shows just that. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Some integration could be much cleaner and smoother. Seems it used to be easier. Plus, they took away the catch all email feature. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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.

Alternatives Considered	GoDaddy is able to be integrated from these various platforms. I haven't used much of other services such as Host Gator, but GoDaddy's relative ease of use makes it a relatively simple platform for your small business needs. It does not quite plug and play, but it's not too far off, either. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Definitely a positive ROI because we are able to have a website to get information out there in addition to our social media pages. It brings everything together in one place. Companies with websites are way more credible than those without. We are planning on hosting our online store through GoDaddy, as well, which will also increase our ROI.
