Overall Satisfaction with GoDaddy

The whole organization is dependent on GoDaddy hosting - not everyone accesses the admin panel, but we need it to be functional, so we can work on the WordPress sites, the backbone of our organization.
The cost-value ratio of GoDaddy seemed to be the best at the time we chose it and it still is a strong competitor. We need hosting, so it's a must.

Pros

  • Cost is very favorable.
  • Easy to use.

Cons

  • A lot of undefined (HTML 500) errors occur.
  • Some intermediate level WordPress plugins can wreck an entire site.
  • Lately, entire sites crash and are partially responsive - making work impossible.
  • Hosting.
  • Down times can hurt business - we must be available when traffic hits.
  • Errors hinder work, and we end up paying for more hours of wages than actual work.
  • Currently we are experiencing days of delay. Hundreds of dollars lost.
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 far, no success.

Do you think GoDaddy delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with GoDaddy's feature set?

No

Did GoDaddy live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of GoDaddy go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy GoDaddy again?

No

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.

Using GoDaddy

1 - Only the CEO uses it directly, when he sets up a site for us, but we all suffer the ill effects of the capacity problems their servers endure most of the time. It was horrrrrrible last year, and we thought it's because everyone went home office, but now it seems it's just springtime for them.
None, we don't really do that, but do hire freelancers to twist some wires together, make things work, when nothing helps, we accept that for this cost this is what we get, and probably nothing would be as good in the long term, for the same ratio of cost-value, but one can dream, right?
  • Host a lot of sites for us
  • We use a blog engine as a visual interface
  • None sadly, we're just using it as intended, but we do have a lot of traffic.
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.
