Overall Satisfaction with GoDaddy
I've been a GoDaddy user for over 10 years. I use them for my own website and I also have built websites for other businesses using their products, such as domains and website builder.
- 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.
- They did change their website builder - I liked the old version better, it was easier to use. The new one has a steeper learning curve. And when building sites for other people, it takes longer since they changed things.
- I wish they gave more space with the emails you get with your domains. I'm constantly having to delete emails because my inbox is full.
- I rely on GoDaddy for my emails and I almost never have issues with outages or connection errors. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've had an issue in the last 10 years.
- I use GoDaddy to build sites for other people's businesses because not only is the website easy to set up, but it's easy for my clients to be able to maintain their website. If someone is paying you to build a website, they are probably not real savvy with this sort of thing, so making it easy on their end is a must.
- I love that I can have one main hosting account for my wordpress blogs and have other sub-accounts under them, instead of paying separately for every single site & blog.
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 some of my products. But for my clients' needs, I still use GoDaddy because they offer all the features they need and are easy for them to maintain on their own after I build their sites.

No I have never needed to purchase premium support.
Yes, there have been a few times when I was setting up a website and had a question and called them. They have always been easy to contact and helped me with my issue right then and there. I can't think of a time when I had to have follow-up conversations to get an issue resolved.
