Review of Godaddy hosting services
Ok, so I am posting this as I am struggling to get what I have paid for with Godaddy and they basically have told me to go F@ck myself, upgrade or eat shit!
Do I sound frustrated???
I have spent alot of money with Godaddy…like well over 75k, and I have about 900 domain names registered at Godaddy at present moment, 4 hosting accounts, 20 business email accounts, I am signed up for the domain discount club, and I am sure I am missing other ways Godaddy gets to take my money.
So why am I so stressed?
The reason is that if you have an ‘older’ hosting account with Godaddy, meaning a non CPANEL hosting account (they recently have come of age and have started offering CPANEL hosting) AND you are experiencing major hosting problems, they will not help you!!!
The answer is…’well we offer CPANEL now and you should switch over’. WTF! If you have multiple hosting accounts and hundreds of websites on these accounts it really is not that easy. I’m pissed because basically they sold you a product they are no longer willing to support you on, which you have paid for and trusted them to build upon, and now they are bending you over and not even giving you a reach around!
So are you a domainer and have any stories or advise to share?
I am glad that we had decided years ago not to put all our eggs in one basket, and have many other hosting accounts spread out amongst other hosting companies.
The frustration point is that we have wasted countless hours dealing with a hosting platform that does not deliver the service it is promoted to deliver!
This doesn’t mean that we are totally jumping ship and taking all of our business away from Godaddy, as they do have some added benefit especially when it comes to the security revoloving around transfering domain names out of your account to someone else’s, but the whole hosting issue we are having definitely led to this ‘Go F yourself Godaddy‘ post.
Godaddy gets a BIG thumbs down for the lack of support, or even thought on how it might effect our business when it comes to their hosting services.
