"Great domain registrar and manager for domains owned"

"Easy to set up web page"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

Using GoDaddy is easy to set up and has excellent support if you need help starting your website. They have several templates to choose from or you can use your own. The editing is easy and quickly applied to your website. It is very affordable with different options to pay - monthly or annual.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I had some difficulty with the layout on images I wanted to upload. Support service assisted me.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating a website for fundraising has helped in creating an easy to remember website name. I also created a business website www.colttaxservice.com which has given us several new clients with a template for them to set up an appointment or send us a message directly from the website.

"They're really great, but I can't help but feel there's something better..."
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

Honestly, they're support is beyond amazing. I haven't had to call often, but whenever I need to speak with a sales rep or tech support, not only are they more than willing to help me with my problem, they go above to make sure it's resolved. I love the convenience for having all of my clients' emails and hosting under one roof. I also rather enjoy how everything is pro-rated, so if you sign up for 3years of hosting to lock in a low price, but then after a year decide to bail, they refund you what you didn't use, pretty sweet.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I can't help but feel cheated every time "renewal" time rolls around. I know the company is more than willing to give it's new clients crazy discounts to get the im the door, but once you're in, the savings stop. They do offer bulk discounting, but it's nothing impressive and you have to lock-in for 5+ years. At the end of it all, I know the support is there for what I need, but I can't help but feel I'm being taken to the cleaners as far as hosting fees for both web and email. I know there are cheaper options out there with the same "up-time guarantee", but just don't know which direction to go to. GoDaddy CANNOT be the end all... can they?

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to provide all of my clients with the proper hosting they need all under one roof. From hosting to email support, I know GoDaddy's got my back.

"GoDaddy Services Review"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

Each time I have called for customer service, I have gotten through fairly quickly. There has not been a problem that hasn't been resolved via a service rep. The reps are always English-speaking, which I appreciate because describing a website hosting issue or email problem can be difficult enough without a language barrier involved. 24/7 support.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

Some of the issues I've experienced with older databases have been frustrating. I've had a few databases in Wordpress simply disappear/stop functioning altogether without warning, an no visible means of restoring or fixing them. I do find that while it's great GoDaddy offers new means of access through their Dashboard, it has at times changed so often you cannot easily locate what you need due to the upgrade.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The affordability of their services has made it so I can help my small clients get onto the web since the services are within their budget.

"Best service for registering domains"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

It's so easy to get the domains you need using GoDaddy. This is really the only feature I use, however.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I have used their email services as well - I find the platform is just not convenient, and have switched to using Google Apps instead.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need to get domains for myself and for my clients. I find GoDaddy is the easiest way to accomplish this. I have not tried their hosting services, but have heard pretty good things.

"cheaper place to buy domain"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

new domain purchase is much cheaper than others in the market and godaddy support response is good.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

web ui is not so user friendly, they need to improve and renewal is little bit expensive than purchasing a new domain.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Godaddy is easy way to manage domains and being a Discount Domain Club has saved us money when registering and renewing our domains.

"Most intuitive user interface for DNS management compared to others"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

I had almost zero knowledge about domains when I brought my first domain on GoDaddy & it did not feel like a daunting task for me while configuring my DNS providers, thanks to GoDaddy's intuitive user interface. I also needed to do www redirection to apex domain which again was a simple setting. Another advantage is that you get alot of help from Stackoverflow community, there is a separate tag with more than 1000 questions tagged. I had many advanced things done with the help of stackoverflow community & it's hard to find such support for other DNS providers out there.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

The pricing gets ridiculously higher after your first year. So, this was a lesson learnt for me, basically if you wish to buy a domain & you know you need it for more than a year then it's always better to go for 3-5 year subscription. Instead if you wish to prolong after 1 year, it gets way too expensive!

"Great value"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

I used GoDaddy when I owned a business. I owned many domains and liked being able to centrally manage and update add-on services as needed. Everything I ever needed to do, I was able to do on the website. I was also happy with the reasonable cost of the domains.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

Never experienced anything I can say I didn't like. It wasn't used as a transactional system so I only really needed to use the admin functions a few time a year.

"Nonprofit Experience on Godaddy"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

The ease in using the website builder in making a website.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

You are unable to implement Google tags as a nonprofit so measuring conversions as a nonprofit through ads is impossible unfortunately.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

They help us as a nonprofit as they offer an integrated PayPal button which makes transactions a lot easier on the homepage.
