GoDaddy Reviews & Product Details

Signing up for a GoDaddy hosting account was pretty easy.

I'm not a fan of their marketing, with overtly sexualizing women. Something about it has always felt off to me, and turns me away from using the service.

It is convenient and I don't recall having any issues with their hosting services.

Nothing at this point! no support, no service. no innovation! why do you exist?

the pricing gimmicks most importantly their user interface is full of errors. every action you try to take results in some kind of error. changing a simple email... "Something went wrong and we're working feverishly to fix the issue. Please wait a bit and try again."

GoDaddy is extremely inexpensive, but really not worth anything at all and you’d be better off paying extra for real support and basic integrations.

Unbelievable in this day and age that there would be an email platform without its own app or easy integration on an iPhone.

Basic business email service.

Easy to use. But there are plenty of options out there which are just as easy to use.

I am under the strong impression they sell your data to web development agencies. Every time I buy a domain off of them my inbox becomes bombarded by agencies trying to sell me services. Also if you search for a domain name they bump up the price compared to if they present that option to you.

Buying domains. It is the only thing worth doing on godaddy. Do not use their website builder...

Their initial intro offers are often very competitive. That's to get you hooked, of course!

I used GoDaddy to set up my domain years ago, at a very decent price (I think something like £5 for two years for a .co.uk). I begrudgingly renewed it once, but this time round I annoyed at their constant reminder emails/scare tactics, I was getting frequent emails months before renewal was due. When it came around, I realised that their renewal charge for .co.uk was considerably more than most places are charging, at £12 a year. And that eleveated price doesn't include even the most basic security/privacy features, which are additional fees. Simply trying to buy a domain was fun in itself, since there were so many attempts to upsell me extra stuff like hosting, webmail, privacy etc. I know that's not unusual in business but when it comes to hosting I'd like to see a bit more professionalism, I guess - it's not something you'd be buying in the first place if you didn't know what you were doing. Strangely, when I moved my domain to Netcetera I found that the controls were locked/greyed out in my Godaddy control panel, even after following all their instructions to the letter. i had several chats with support, who initially blamed the new host (??) before eventually managing to manually unlock the domain controls I needed to transfer away from then. Now I have a strong suspicion that the 'bug' that led to me not being able to move my domain without chatting to support, was at least somewhat intentional, a last-ditch way to retain customers by making it difficult to move away. Overall my impression was of a money-hungry, low-quality company trying to rule the market purely with name recognition, upselling and heavy marketing. I only used them for DNS services; I feel for anyone who had to

They created as many problems as they solved, but to be fair I used them for domain names for a number of years and never had any problems with the product itself. Overpriced and underspecced, sure, but it worked just fine for pointing people to my site. But then that's not hugely diificult...

You have everyone's' contacts so its easy to get in touch with other coworkers or supervisors.

Program is slow and disorganized. We are fast paced location but the software does not keep up.

Work communication in between coworkers and supervisors. Very easy to get in contact with supervisors, easy place to have all needed documentation for work.

There isn't anything I really like about GoDaddy. I have used them over the years. I have moved NUMEROUS clients to other hosting providers. I still have a few clients and I work with that have GoDaddy and continue to move their domains and websites to better and easier to use web hosting platforms.

I dislike their customer service, I dislike the user interface the constantly change, I dislike the fact that if you have problem with your site getting a 500 error, they try to blame it on you, know full well it's on their side.

None.

I thought buying a cheap domain name and walk way in minutes, they facilitate your first steps via the dash which is great. But, that is it. Nothing else.

Two years later buying some domains, I noticed GoDaddy adds over 1000% for a domain renewal - that's insane!! Plus you pay 20% VAT on top of your bill...ouch imagine you have 5-10 domains. Do your maths. I must say they do have a good marketing department. But that's all. The fact users can purchase both the domain, email and hosting for a very low price is great but trust me the fees will go up as described above. GoDaddy's solution isn't the perfect deal, as they hit you hard on the product renewal the second year, or whatever the period you bought for. I suggest reading the reviews across the web and you'll see why. They apply the old school marketing method - they want to sell you anything they can. Pay attention when that time comes, as their pop ups are misleading and renewals aren't easy to turn off. Do not make it easy to access fixtures or the renewal buttons, for example. I recently called GoDaddy's support and they were arrogant, rude and...useless. They send you emails with services you barely know why you need it (get a dictionary to understand it). Be aware that their support & sales work hand -in-hand (same tactics) they will pushy for a new deal.

I only purchased domains with them, as I knew their customer service is slicy below decent - Heard friends and people complained about them. Their dash automatically presents items already ticked (pushing sale after sale) and it takes time to read it all. I still have one domain registered with GoDaddy but I will transfer it soon to WPX I thought i was saving money... benefits are zero.

There is nothing to like. They have not done what I expected them to do.

I have been signed up on GoDaddy Social for 2 months now and paid $400 per month for essentially a photo shoot that gave me unusable and unneccessary photos that amount to a complete waste of time for me personally and my company. They have done nothing to get me new business, they have not even updated the social sites with the correct contact information, which should be step one. I could have spent 30 minutes and done this myself. This has amounted to a complete waste of money and I demand a refund. Do NOT use GoDaddy Social. If you want pics for your Facebook site, hire a photographer for $100 and save the $400/month charge that GoDaddy robs you of.

Nothing has been solved. No benefits have been realized.

GoDaddy is a user-friendly email platform in that it is extremely simple and easy to use. However, due to its simplicity, it lacks a lot of the more advance features that other email platforms can provide.

GoDaddy does not offer many features compared to other email platforms and is too simple/not able to customized for user preferences. I disliked using GoDaddy so much that I created a separate Gmail account and linked it to my GoDaddy for better ease of use. There were also many issues that arose while using GoDaddy with connecting to the right server; I also had issues linking it to my Gmail occasionally, which forced me to check my GoDaddy separate from my Gmail.

Not many benefits that I can think of that other email platforms don't already provide.

Godaddy gives nice discount for first time user or while first time purchase.

It increase price double on renewal purchase. Only give first time discount to attract users. Customer support do not have good technical knowledge to give support.

Domain name and hosting with godaddy.

You can easily grab a domain. That's pretty much it.

GoDaddy is the worst platform. I am trying to update a website for a client. GoDaddy knowingly admits they have servers running php v4, and that their virtual environment is open to other security risks like DDoS attacks, hacks, SQL injections, etc., but they refuse to do anything about it. If you want to run a simple Wordpress site, or other CMS system, it will not function properly with anything lower than php 5.6 if you plan to have any current functionality from current versions of WP itself, themes or plugins. Additionally, refusing to update their server environment leaves every client on these servers in jeopardy. They do this because they want the customer to upgrade to a more expensive VPS plan, which simply isn't needed for a small website. They are a total scam and they will happily put anyone's website at risk for their own financial gain.

None - moving to a new hosting platform.

GoDaddy is a solid hosting service and domain name company. I use their Shared Linux Hosting service, and it's much more straightforward and convenient than setting up my own servers in the Cloud.

Where to begin. First, they entice you in with a great promotional offer, but then once you've built your site, they jack up the prices, knowing that it'll be too costly for you to move. Second, they eliminated promotion codes for renewals. That's the only thing that made their exorbitant renewal rates in the past bearable. I've since gone to NameCheap, whose regular renewal rates are lower than even GoDaddy's promotional prices used to be. Third, their shopping cart is full of bloat as they try to nickel-and-dime you to add on services you don't need. I feel for the poor uneducated consumer who ends up buying a bunch of them. Fourth, their customer service is hit-or-miss. There are some reps who really know there stuff, while I've ended up having to teach basics to others myself.

Website hosting and domain name registration. The cost comes at a premium since they build "idiot-proof" tools for those who can't set up servers or configure DNS themselves, but it does make things easier for even those who do know their stuff.

GoDaddy is the 800lb gorilla in hosting. They are a massive commodity host, and the service and price reflect that. However, as far as price goes, it's not a great value. But you can be sure they can scale with you and can handle anything you throw at them.

They tend to have pretty stringent limitations on the shared hosting side. I've run into many situations where they throttle DB resources so much it kills the site performance. They also seem to over-provision and over-sell.

you can buy a domain

although i think the interface may be confusing by design, it may be the most frustrating interface I've ever been forced to work with

I have not been happy with their services

Go daddy has continually let me down. Not only do I dislike their marketing and overall philosophy, but when clients I have force me to use this, I have to suffer through their clunky interface. They use cutting edge 2001 web interface tools. Generally, I transfer off of Go Daddy as quickly as possible.
