GoDaddy

GoDaddy is well suited for domain names and DNS configuration hosting. It is good for domain email services hosting and provide good quality basic website hosting services. If you're looking into more advanced website hosting services - you may look into its competitors with dedicated or VPS or cloud hosting expertise.

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.

Very helpful, supportive, and full of kindness when making website hosting changes. Everyone I spoke with was kind and knew the materials well. Fast follow-up and good product offering. When I called to begin using the service they were helpful and switched it over for me at no fee which was great. I was so happy with what they did and grateful for them.

Blogs, online stores, and business pages are great. If logging in for access, a more robust system may need to be purchased. I have created a website for a tattoo shop, metal storage container provider, and custom concrete contractor. I plan to create a non-profit website and a property management website as well.

If you are looking for a plug-and-play site that is generally easy to use, with some great looks and more, this is the place! I am proud of my podcast websites on GoDaddy.

The domain name registration is pretty user-friendly. I wouldn't use GoDaddy for basic SSL certificates as these certificates can be obtained for free from LetsEncrypt. GoDaddy sells these certificates at an incredible markup. I have never had an issue with domain resolution from GoDaddy and they do provide domain parking for you while you are setting up your site.

Managing SSL for domains hosted on GoDaddy can be a nightmare for those inexperienced with configuring HTTPS for their website. The only way this platform simplifies the process of installing and configuring SSL is if certificates are purchased directly from GoDaddy - at some of the most expensive rates compared to other sources. When I last used their Website Builder tool years ago, I experienced numerous design and compatibility issues.

If you are managing multiple domains and websites and do not want to host and manage these onsite, GoDaddy offers a great option. If you are a larger company with the resources to host and manage these onsite, or if you have more complex websites requiring higher resource levels, GoDaddy may not be able to support your needs as well.

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.

They are just one of the best. I love that they are available 24/7/365. There have been times I needed support in the middle of the night and they are just always available.

The only thing they're good for anymore is domains. And that's questionable now. There are so many other companies that sell domains cheaper and do not have shady practices like GoDaddy does. Their hosting is overly complicated and overpriced.

Honestly, most web hosts are pretty awful these days. I have experience with a lot of them, and most of them aren't very good about keeping websites up when making any changes. GoDaddy is better than some in that you can host services with an offsite domain without issue, but if you aren't very careful, and sometimes if you are, making changes to nameservers can cause downtime, even when there's no technical reason for them to, and other registrars have figured out how to avoid it. And when you run into these problems, their support is universally horrible in my experience. Be prepared for 45 minutes to an hour waiting for a support agent to even address your question, taking 5 minutes between each response asking for a new piece of info like your name or security PIN. After that, they are so woefully undertrained, I often have to teach them about the usage or existence of some of their own products. And just to top it off, at some point during the conversation, even if you're there on an urgent issue causing downtime only they can fix, they will upsell you on some product, whether that's a premium account or early renewal.

[I believe] Godaddy has jeopardized my business and never take responsibility.

GoDaddy is great for managing a large number of domains in one place and makes it very easy to manage subscriptions and renewals from one interface. I think this is especially good for property management companies, how we were using it, or possibly an umbrella company that manages a variety of different brands. It is also very helpful in suggesting alternative domains to purchase to avoid someone unaffiliated from purchasing.

Godaddy is a good choice for Small and Medium Scale enterprises. Godaddy can be found easily on the internet as it is a popular choice. It has affordable pricing plans and bundles. Godaddy is not a complicated tool. Anyone with basic knowledge can set up websites in Godaddy. Godaddy is one of the fastest web hosting services in the market. Godaddy has an intuitive dashboard. It has a template collection, a domain search tool, and a domain name generator tool, etc, for the untrained eye to kick start an online business. Godaddy's website design tool or its template collection etc are not suited for a professional website developer.

It’s a well known platform for domain registration and is easy to use. However in the non-profit organization, when the executive committee had changed, we had a problem changing contact person details at GoDaddy. The registered phone number was a landline, and they were sending the otp to that number, and we couldn’t change the contact number easily.

GoDaddy is well suited for domain purchasing. Keeps everything in one place and organized. I wouldn't recommend using GoDaddy to host a website.

If asked by a colleague whether I would recommend GoDaddy, I would probably ask them if they had a better recommendation. It works and is very good when you want to start out - they are big, they are easy to access, and it is generally a good idea to start out with GoDaddy, but at the moment, we could probably use a more personalized approach, that fits individual needs of a company.
Also, SO UNRELIABLE.

GoDaddy is great for anyone looking to start a blog or build a website. You can have your site up and running quickly with GoDaddy's website builder. If you're looking to buy a domain name, create a site to sell products, or simply blog about things that interest you, GoDaddy is very well suited to fulfill these services.

GoDaddy is great for entrepreneurs specifically in my opinion. It's cost-effective, has good customer service, and is pretty easy to use. It also works with several platforms well. Many of my clients needed help building a website they could manage and GoDaddy [is] definitely good for that. There are restrictions on fonts, colors, and layouts. Sometimes you have to get creative to make something [work] but sometimes you just have to give up and work around a certain desired color or layout.

It's generally well known and so you can trust it to get the job done, but there are a few areas where I've been frustrated and feel compelled to contemplate alternatives.

GoDaddy is a good solution for:

• first-time, non-techy, local service business owner (not eCom) to manage their business all in one place (looking to build their website, send emails, manage their listings and web presence all in one place
• The user dashboard for their small business suite is pretty user-friendly. Someone could probably build their site in about three hours.
• A decent place to keep all business solutions in one easy place and have someone to help them troubleshoot with support.

• More technically savvy business owners - any field
• Buy and manage their domains all in one place
• Get technical support for issues (ex: troubleshooting with CNAME and ANAME records) when redirecting traffic to new pages
• Buy domains in bulk

I would not recommend GoDaddy's website builder:

• For eCommerce - the tracking and capabilities are better on Shopify. There are drag and drop themes just the same as with GoDaddy.
• For people who love to tweak - There are limitations on the WYSIWYG editor.
• For people who are running a lot of Facebook ad campaigns / socially driven campaigns - It's harder to track conversions and give Facebook the information it needs to prove purchases (any field). We've driven traffic and proved $45k in sales from some of the campaigns that we've done. We had to do it in a roundabout way.

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.

It is really great if you are looking to get a website up and running quickly. Also its great that you can get all the components in one place. What that means is if you are a bit of a novice at things you don't have to chase down different companies for support related queries. All your problems can be solved by one dedicated (and really good) support team.

GoDaddy is well suited to any small business! It’s amazing to be able to design and manage my own website since I do not know how to do anything technological. It’s convenient to update, change or add anything on my phone or the computer. I don’t think that someone who has or can afford a web site designer needs the GoDaddy web builder.

I have called to ask questions about services and features and have always had a good experience with very friendly, helpful service people.

This is great for the consumer. Easy to use, simple to check out, but difficult and time consuming from the back end. It takes a while to get signed in. Takes a while to collect the funds once you hit capture payment. A lot of clicking back and forth to get to what you need. There newest upgrades have a moderate learning curve.

They do call and attempt to help troubleshoot but it's not usually helpful.
