GoDaddy Web Hosting provides users with storage, email addresses, and unlimited bandwith.GoDaddy Inc.Go to GoDaddy for basic service2019-02-22T20:48:47.309ZGoDaddy is used by some of my clients to either purchase domain names or web hosting. Some have also chosen to utilize GoDaddy's email services as well when they want something a little bit more professional than Gmail. Overall, GoDaddy gets the job done—for those using the company for all of their services, everything is in one place, which is nice.,Customer service is pretty quick and can usually resolve any issues that crop up.
Web domain registration is quick and easy, so is searching for a domain to purchase.
Relatively low cost for most of its services.,The dashboard for domains is clunky and dated looking. Some of it is hard to navigate through and find what you're looking for. Definitely takes a learning curve and might be complicated for those that are not familiar or particularly tech-savvy.
Free private registration is not offered with domain purchases like it is with other companies I have purchased domains from. Privacy is important, especially as a WHOIS search will give you the registrar's home address, phone number, and email. I'd rather not have that info out there, for myself or clients.
Hosting services can be hit or miss. I've had clients get hacked on their servers whereas I haven't had that happen with other companies I've used. So perhaps they are less secure than others.,5,Takes more time for me to do things in the dashboard because of the clunky design and it's sometimes hard to find things.,Web Hosting Hub, InMotion Hosting, 1&1, HostGator and iPage,Web Hosting Hub, DaVinci Resolve, RingCentral, Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 4Ruby JavaidYou go GoDaddy!2019-02-21T18:20:18.243ZI (the marketing department) use GoDaddy to host two websites for our company and our sister company. We use it for hosting, website building and SSL Certs. It is great for small companies who don't have time to deal with all the moving parts of a website and just want a professional site.,Keeping your information organized and at your fingertips
The website builder and templates are clean and professional
Upkeep made easy! I can sign in, change something, hit publish, then it's live!,I wish they had a few more options for plug-ins (timelines, carousels, etc.).
More connecting with CRM systems would be nice as well.,10,GoDaddy has been extremely helpful as our customers and distributors can do to get all the information they need from our website without calling the office.
Knowing how much traffic we are getting and where it is coming from is extremely helpful in how we continue to update our site.,Network Solutions, Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention and Velocity Standard,Microsoft Office 365, BlueJeans, Constant ContactHeather McNultyA great all in one solution to all your web presence needs.2019-02-14T19:27:48.896ZGoDaddy is probably one of the best places to go to if you want to get started on building a web presence. I like how it's basically an all in one solution that let me get all the pieces in place to set up a website. I could get a domain, set up hosting, set up emails and everything else all from one single place. So a big upside of using Godaddy is that is you can get everything you need at once and get up and running really fast. The downside is some of the components of setting up your web presence can probably be acquired for cheaper (or for free in some cases) if you are willing to look around. I still like and would definitely recommend GoDaddy though, their customer service was exceptional. I have used their service to set up two different websites (along with hosting, mail etc) and it has always been really simple and painless.,It can take care of almost all of your web hosting needs in one single place. Which means you don't have to bounce around to get support from different places for different things.
Their customer service is really good. Their response time was excellent and the people I get through to on the other hand are very helpful and knowledgeable.
Their user interface is really simple to use.,I feel like their pricing could be more competitive. A lot of add-ons they offer can be had for cheaper (or free) in other places.,9,It was really fast and saved me a ton of time to set things up.
It was simple enough to use so I didn't have to hire outside contractors to do basic things for me (like setting up domain email addresses, etc.).,Squarespace and Google Domains,Zoho Chat, SurveyMonkey, Dropbox, Zoom, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Zapier, WordPressVerified UserGreat, but could be better2018-12-20T16:57:58.927ZWe use GoDaddy as our website management as well as our email platform. Everyone in the company uses the email function, as we all have our own individual or department emails with the company name at the end. This is what I have the most experience with. The company website is also managed and run through GoDaddy's platform which helps us provide information to our customers.,Customer service has great hours of availability. When things go wrong, and they will, it is nice to have the ability to get in touch with someone.
Wide variety of services. GoDaddy can be a one stop shop if you are looking for marketing and email services. They offer more than just domains and email platforms.
Once set up, very easy to use.,Customer service is lacking. One agent will tell you one thing and you will call back and get a completely different answer.
Beware of upgrades. They did a huge system update a couple years ago and everything didn't switch exactly as it was supposed to.
The packages can be a bit confusing.,7,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.,Wix,Wix, Clover, SurveyMonkeyKirsten RodriguezGive GoDaddy a Go!2018-11-29T02:23:39.425ZI am currently using GoDaddy for a non-profit's website. I was able to completely re-do the non-profit's website using GoDaddy, taking the site from something boring and outdated to an amazing easy to use site. The new site has received lots of positive feedback from the foundation's donors. The site keeps the public and donors informed about what the foundation is doing in the community. Users can also make donations to the foundation through the site, and buy tickets to the foundation's events. The site was very easy to create, and making edits is a breeze.,Their customer service is outstanding.
The website builder is very simple to use.
The stock images included with the website builder are professional and beautiful.
Social media integration is easy.,The pricing is higher than many other web design platforms.
The emails are very expensive, in my opinion.
I would like the ability to customize colors and fonts on the website.,9,The new GoDaddy site has lead to increased donations now that they can be made online

It is used across the whole organization. We need a host and domain search we can trust, and GoDaddy does just that. They are a trusted company to buy domains and add hosting.,Hosting - trusted and great customer service.

Long customer service wait times on occasion.,10,Positive ROI by having my website up without issues. Even when it goes down momentarily, GoDaddy gets right on it.,HostGator, Bluehost, Namecheap and DreamHost,HostGatorErin RuoffGoDaddy Hosting gives you nearly 100% uptime and Peace of Mind2017-09-07T15:57:26.572ZGoDaddy is our "go to" hosting provider for our clients, as well as our own business sites. The up time is terrific, (I'd argue close to 99%), and the support is terrific as well. Website setup is easy (quite a bit easier over the last year, versus 8 years ago) when it comes to Wordpress website initiation. When our clients have email account needs, or SSL certificate needs, we can always call GoDaddy support to help us quickly set up those accounts. Once or twice over the last eight years, we have had a malware situation on our hands, and GoDaddy again was able to work with us to quickly assess the issue and offer a quick solution. I even have my specific GoDaddy specialist I can call when I need specific help.,Near 100% up time.
24 hour customer support.
Great deals on hosting and domains (especially for new clients).
Full range of services, including hosting, domains, email, SSL, Outlook, Microsoft.,The dashboard, revised for simplicity, is hard to navigate for folks like us that need to easily find DNS settings and be able to change specific aspects of hosting and domains.
GoDaddy sends out emails to my clients telling them they are using up all the allotted memory for the site and suggests they up the hosting package. I am not sure this is true, as my client sites generally do not have considerable amounts of web traffic.
I'd like to see a tier of GoDaddy representatives that are for professional questions and problems.,9,GoDaddy allows us to focus on the client's site, instead of hosting and domains. This has been a plus for our business.
The negative impact, if any, is that clients sometimes feel like they can just handle things themselves because we make it look so easy to work with GoDaddy.
Nearly 100% of our website clients are hosted on GoDaddy.,Namecheap,WordPress, Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins, WooCommerceTim VahsholtzAlways In The Winner's Circle With GoDaddy2018-04-17T19:30:02.578ZWe use GoDaddy as registrar for many companies which I have consulted. They are my choice as far as registering a domain.
It is super easy for the novice. I like to use GoDaddy because they are fast, easy to implement, and when passed along to my client,
easy to work with support. Their support is unparalleled.,Support. Their customer support staff members are easy to understand and to communicate with. They are helpful and very knowledgeable with their platform. If they cannot handle your call directly, they do not waste your time. They will pass the call to someone who can handle it.
Efficient. Everything is right there and easy to understand. Once again, you don't have to waste time to navigate through their platform.
Helpfulness. They know what the customer needs and they deliver on their needs.,Up-selling. I would like to see a more clean interface when purchasing. Even with someone who has used GoDaddy for 15 years, at times, I have to watch closely so I make sure I am only getting what is needed at the time.
Marketing. I would like to see more marketing done in my email not when I am purchasing.
Make decision making easier. For the novice, I can see where they would easily buy a bunch of things they don't even know how to use.,10,The ROI has been positive considering how fast and efficient they are are domain registration.
They offer the ability to back order a site if a domain you would like is already taken. GoDaddy will notify you the moment it becomes available if the current owner does not renew the domain.
Hosting your own domain can be expensive and time consuming. You have much better things to do than learn all about hosting.

Splitting off subdomains allows me to use that account as a sort of sandbox for testing designs and prototypes, and for creating mini sites for communicating product changes.,Proactive customer service. GoDaddy will reach out to you if they think you might be having an issue based on your usage patterns.

Currently we use GoDaddy almost exclusively for foreign held domain names (for example .de), it gets a little complicated, but basically you need to have contacts in a given country in order to register a domain there and GoDaddy provides that service for you.,Low cost domains and hosting
Relatively easy to use hosting service
Allows easy purchase of foreign domains,While the user interface has improved dramatically, the services are still all disjointed and rather confusing how they fit together.
The domain transfer process has some totally self-imposed restrictions, like not allowing you to transfer for 90 days after certain actions are taken on the domain. Never seen anything like it, and it can be a huge pain.
Hosting services are quite poor quality for the price you pay. Low speed, terrible interface.,3,Overall, GoDaddy has provided us with a service that is valuable (domain registration and hosting), but is offered by everyone. Overall the ROI has been zero, but that doesn't mean its a bad product in and of itself.
Registering foreign domains through GoDaddy was, surprisingly, easier than doing it through some other registrars (looking at you ENOM and AWS). This helped build some small tools to leverage that fact (like URL shortening tools).,Amazon Route 53, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), Rackspace and Bluehost,Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Rackspace, Amazon Relational Database ServiceJustin SchroederGoDaddy works for small businesses2017-09-08T20:23:23.351ZI use GoDaddy to host my small business website and e-mail, and it enables me to have an online presence for my grant consulting work and accept online payments for workshops I teach. It also allows me to keep an e-mail list of previous customers and send them information about upcoming events that I'm holding. It has served me well.,GoDaddy has great customer service. Over the years, I've had to call the tech support line because of website problems, billing questions, or other technical issues. I'm not an IT professional, and the people who have taken my calls have gone above and beyond to provide truly great support and service. This is so critical because a website and e-mail are vital to operating a business, and I can't afford for them to be non-functional. I am grateful for quick, reliable, and friendly service.
Building a website using GoDaddy was super simple. I had never had any training in designing a website, and I didn't need it because they provide templates and guidance that make the process very user-friendly and intuitive. I was able to put mine together quickly, and I've never had any problems updating it when I need to.
As the owner of a small business, I'm grateful that the costs for simple services (website and e-mail) are reasonable and not prohibitively expensive. This made GoDaddy a natural choice when I was looking to create a website for my business, and it's the reason I've stuck with them over the years.,I use PayPal to accept payments on my GoDaddy website, and while I appreciate the ability to integrate that system into my website, there could be improvements in the functionality. For instance, being able to modify the appearance of the PayPal button on the website so it doesn't save "Buy Now" but, instead, could say "Register Here" or something else I choose since people are using it to pay for workshop registrations.,9,Prior to having GoDaddy, I relied on word of mouth for my consulting business and could only process check or cash payments. Once I built a website on GoDaddy and integrated it with PayPal, I was able to easily spread the word about my business and accept electronic payments. This has made my business much more profitable.,,DonorPerfect, Constant Contact, PreziLaura CarrGoDaddy is a one stop shop!2017-09-07T15:28:58.095ZI came across GoDaddy about 8 years ago, I bought my first domain and hosting through them.

We have several clients that use GoDaddy for domain registration and/or web hosting. The business problems it addresses for our/our clients use is domain registration and hosting.,Domain registration/management interface is very user-friendly. It is easy to change nameservers, DNS, redirects, etc.
In my opinion, the above is the only real plus to GoDaddy.,GoDaddy's pricing for domain and privacy registration is not competitive.
GoDaddy's hosting is not great. The interface and connection to the control panel is not consistent across plans, the speed for shared hosting is slow and the security does not seem to be very good.,3,Negative ROI for clients who have sites hosted with GoDaddy that have been hacked and/or experienced slow load times or downtime.
While GoDaddy offers some great specials for first year domain and privacy registration pricing, the 2nd year + is more expensive than competitors so there is the cost involved of either paying more or moving the domains to another registrar.,SiteGround Web Hosting,Accounting by Wave, Asana, Smartsheet, MailChimp, Dropbox, Evernote, Namecheap, BluehostShelle PourmanafzadehardabiliBest Domain Registrar Out There2017-09-06T22:37:35.590ZWe have several domain names that we manage for our company.

Beware of add-ons.2017-08-22T21:03:42.032ZI needed to build a website for a non-profit org I support. I picked GoDaddy because I had heard the most about them from colleagues, very widely supported (e.g. by Wix) and cheap. We use it to host our domain and connect it to the site we built on Wix. GoDaddy did try to upsell on many things like email support, site management, etc. We used Wix for managing the site which had way better capabilities, so didn't need that. We wanted to use the Google Suite for email (free for non-profits) so picked that option. The only option I wish I could have taken is hiding our address, which I thought was a very unfair and sneaky gimmick used by GoDaddy - you have to pay them to hide your information from the public?? I did get contacted by several agencies to help with SEO, etc. which I'm sure was caused by this unbought "feature" by GoDaddy.
I would renew and buy from GoDaddy again, but a little sore from the "hide information feature".,Site hosting

It helps to use a single website for all domains so that it's all in one place. And when we have issues, it's nice to just call up GoDaddy since their customer service is 24/7 and very helpful. They also have an easy to navigate interface for their website, which is really good for people who aren't web savvy.,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.,Better pricing for renewals. When I see the difference in pricing of purchasing a new domain versus renewing it, I get turned off with such a huge difference. I think it'd be better if they lowered their renewal pricing. Or just some more promotions, I feel like I never receive promotions from them. Another or could be a rewards program for being a loyal customer for x amount of years.
They can be a bit annoying/overwhelming with the product/service add-ons once you've gotten what you needed--I understand why they do it but it almost feels like they're trying to trick you into something which makes me feel less trusting of the company.
Though I said I liked the user interface for the non savvy person, I must say that their design/branding/ui could use some improvement. It has a lot going on and it doesn't look clean. A lot of things just look like they were thrown together.,6,Positive impact is the ease of use and pricing for clients
Negative is the fact that you get what you pay for, since GoDaddy isn't the best with regard to speed and reliability,inMotion,Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CCVerified UserA So So Hosting Company2017-12-14T20:56:11.900ZGoDaddy was being used by a couple of small businesses I was working with to manage their websites and social media accounts. We used GoDaddy to purchase their web hosting and domain packages and we used it to install Wordpress. It is simple to use GoDaddy and it's great to have reliable products all in one place.,The websites I have managed and used very rarely go down. GoDaddy is great at keeping their servers online.
Installing a platform like Wordpress is super simple.
I think that the pricing system is both fair and it's nice to have so much in one spot.,The platform can be a little cumbersome and I have had issues with not being able to get the site itself to load or being able to login to check my account.
The support can be good but it is a little hit and miss. Depends on the day and time and who you will get.
I am not a fan of their webmail platform, I would rather just either forward all the mail or use gmail.,7,The positive is that my sites were never down. I didn't have to worry about paying for a site that wasn't working.
I was also simple to get the sites ready to go and the domains registered.
The slow site and so so support didn't necessarily cost us anything but it was a pain at times.,1&1 and Google,Adobe PhotoshopVerified UserDomain Registrar Number One for a Reason2017-10-10T21:34:45.082ZWe have used Godaddy mainly for domain names. We mostly use Godaddy across the whole business to register and manage domain names with different TLDs, Manage customer's delegated accounts and brainstorm for domain ideas,GoDaddy offers domain names at a great price, $.99 .com domains are a steal.
GoDaddy's website is user friendly, searching, ordering and managing domains is very simple even for beginners.
One stop shop, you can get a domain name, email service, hosting and even SSL certificates installed in few simple clicks.,Hosting service could be improved, comparing to the industry standard. GoDaddy's hosting is OUTDATED in terms of: plans/pricing, user interface and features.
Pricing is little bit tricky, you have to spend sometime looking for coupons, renewal coupons, otherwise you will pay much higher.
Customer service can be slow sometimes, and often not very helpful. Particularly for hosting related issues.,8,Decreased domains cost (not significantly but still a good thing)

It also is the fastest way to see if a domain is taken or not when researching for new websites.,GoDaddy is great for purchasing domains and keeping them registered in a place separate from your website host.
