Brand Manager Chose GoDaddy Their backend is terrible as compared to Godaddy , also HostGator is slow as compared to Godaddy .I would like to also tell HostGator services are not good as compared to Godaddy , which included hosting , domain name , website builder , also many many more. Helpful? AL Anatoly Lubarsky Founder and lead developer Chose GoDaddy SoftLayer and HighVelocity are better in terms of advanced web hosting and dedicated hosting than GoDaddy in my opinion. GoDaddy's main business is domain hosting and basic web hosting and GoDaddy is better at it in my opinion. Amazon Route 53 provides simple domain and web … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose GoDaddy 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose GoDaddy Best customer service and fees when first becoming a client. Very helpful, supportive, and full of kindness when making website hosting changes. Follow up and good product offering.

Joshua Day Internet Marketing Manager Chose GoDaddy GoDaddy's website builder is more robust than these other website hosting sites. I have used many different platforms, and GoDaddy is easier, faster, and more efficient in getting a website up and running, as well as maintaining it for a business that wants to grow. I am … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Greenwood Principal and Owner Chose GoDaddy I found Squarespace to be pretty user-unfriendly compared to GoDaddy. Their sites were hard to update and looked cheap. Incentivized Helpful? Jim Nelson Lead Developer Chose GoDaddy Whenever new clients come to me for website development, I begin our relationship by asking about domain registration and website hosting. I cringe when they say they use GoDaddy and often warn them that additional time and effort may be required to accomplish their goals. … Incentivized Helpful? David Fox President \| Sales & Marketing Advisor Chose GoDaddy Flywheel and WP Engine are both more expensive but they offer more bells and whistles if you need them. I think WP Engine recently bought Flywheel so their services are very similar. GoDaddy offers more standard options that are more affordable. Network Solutions is slightly … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose GoDaddy For my own business website I did switch to BigCommerce because they offered features that weren't available at the time with Go Daddy, such as sales tax rates for every city/state, and products were limited to I think 10 or 20 options at the time and I needed 100+ options for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose GoDaddy GoDaddy has gotten too big for themselves. They have gone very corporate, you can't really get support as easily as you used to, and their pricing is ridiculous. Not to mention they sneak things into your cart during the checkout process and reel you in with introductory … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose GoDaddy We use GoDaddy because of institutional inertia. To be honest, most of the big-name registrars and web hosts out there are pretty terrible and suffer from the same issues with transfers, uptime, and support. I want to try evaluating more alternatives soon, but honestly, the … Incentivized Helpful? KT Karina Tama -Rutigliano CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose GoDaddy I thought they are a good company but [in my opinion] they are not. Helpful? Emily Hammell Marketing and Communications Manager Chose GoDaddy We had used a few different platforms in the past, including Wix and Squarespace. These alternative platforms offered much more robust design elements that were more customizable and attractive, by far. These platforms weren't as cost-effective for our organization and didn't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose GoDaddy We had considered Wix before selecting GoDaddy, however, it did not seem as easy to use, especially the website templates. The features we needed for the company website were not all readily available in Wix, so we finally chose Godaddy & WordPress hosting for the website. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Account Manager Chose GoDaddy Pricing was just better and domains are simple to keep organized. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose GoDaddy We are only now shopping around for an alternative, and have considered a local provider most seriously, but so far, no move is planned. GoDaddy is good enough as-is - we will see if we choose to step away from it, in favor of better support, less errors and more up time. So … Incentivized Helpful? Anne Theriault Internet & Small Business Mentor Chose GoDaddy GoDaddy works well with Wordpress and many Wordpress plugins. GoDaddy has fast page loading speeds and experienced customer service. The price is fair for anyone looking to begin a blog or website and doesn't want to invest too much in hosting. Incentivized Helpful? 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. WordPress may have more options as far as templates are concerned, and we sometimes run into those constraints with GoDaddy as far as … Incentivized Helpful? page V CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose GoDaddy With GoDaddy: I can always expect that their support will be helpful and positive. That I can reach operators by phone or chat That I can find my domains and host in one place. That I can also purchase and access email for myself and my team. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose GoDaddy I mostly went with GoDaddy because they had a regional presence and it offered regional pricing. Also, I had used their support and they really impressed me. I was just beginning website set up and it was important to me to make sure that if things weren't working properly that … Incentivized Helpful? Meredith Brough Business Owner Chose GoDaddy I looked at several website builder options. Some looked good complicated, most were too expensive, then I found GoDaddy Web Builder and I loved the pricing, the functionality, and the variety of styles and options. It’s as easy as building a scrapbook page. I have shared it … Incentivized Helpful? KE Kiara Elder Senior Office Manager Chose GoDaddy I would recommend the other platforms for ease of use and overall functionally. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Partner Chose GoDaddy We evaluated Bigrock but their support was very lethargic. Incentivized Helpful? Ray Flores WordPress Developer Chose GoDaddy If you are looking for a bargain, and are okay with shared hosting, then GoDaddy is perfect, there are 'cheaper' hosting companies out there, however, GoDaddy is by far the most for your money in terms of inexperienced users being able to navigate their way around hosting and … Incentivized Helpful? Ruby Javaid Chief Designer Chose GoDaddy My clients typically select GoDaddy because it's the most well-known brand/company to them. They've seen it advertised everywhere so that's what they tend to go for. I don't typically choose them for my own purchases or recommend them to clients.

User Testimonials
	GoDaddy
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	GoDaddy Registering a domain - I've found their site to be the easiest to navigate Website builder - their website builder is user friendly 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	GoDaddy 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
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized page V CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Kirsten Rodriguez Realtor Read full review
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. Incentivized Robert Allen WordPress Developer Read full review
