""It's tough to beat GoDaddy.com"

"It's tough to beat GoDaddy.com for low pricing on domain registration, Web hosting and SSL secure certificates."
- Small Business Computing



I saw this interesting little quote on the gocrappy.com website.Whoever wrote it must of gotten paid off.

Has this person actually used the cheap service, cheap quality, cheap web applications, completely crappy cheap tech support.... etc.

Let's spend a little less on super bowl commercials and a little more on your CHEAP services/support.

Just an example, they farm out certificate services to this company STARFIELD TECHNOLOGIES INC... have fun bouncing from one half/hour wait time to the next -from godaddy to starfield because there cheap webapps don't communicate.... (oh yea, kiss anything you ever knew about customer service GOODBYE ) you finally get to argue with joey justgotoutofhighschool about your problem ON YOUR DIME ( and oh yes there is going to be a problem ) because you know for a fact just "deleting cookies" doesn't solve the problem.

The best thing about their resolution to my particular problem was to UPGRADE my certificate. That way, I could avoid the investigation process of the SSL validation and the domain certificate I renewed 3 weeks prior would work immediately. Apparently the certificate I used with them for a year was not validated correctly( the one they validated, investigated, approved and issued for a year ). I didn't supply the company name or some jibberish to get me off the phone.... unbelievable.

The FAX service has major probs.. I dropped that awhile ago. Oh and have fun with there DNS manager...


ENJOY godaddy.com IT'S CHEAP ! should be your quote. I doubt it would sit well with anyone at godaddy. The truth usually hurts to much to even admit your wrong.

Old wize man say....
YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR. ( buy a domain name, sure... worth it. Any other services and your rollin the dice my friend. Trust me )

Godaddy sucks period.
The thing is , I've been with them from the beginning. Godaddy.com used to be a good company. That's why I did so much business with them through the years and recommended the service. Over the last 2 years the company has gone down the tubes ...

I never thought I'd live to say I miss the Network Solutions monopoly on domain names....

1. They are selling web services like your ordering a big mac at mcdonalds. Running a web site and providing the services you say you can is a little more complicated Mr. Parsons. `Time to invest in your bunk software and stop blogging so much...
2. They count on your "web ignorance" to make excuses for poorly written windows applications that are so buggy and unsupported it's rediculous.
3. One of various tech support kids I talked to today.... "didn't know what a cookie was really" - "but that's what we usually say and it seems to fix any problems" .... huh?
4. The only industry that ... you can buy a product, do everything to apply this product strictly by the directions provided(by the KILLER web app)... PAY FOR THE PRODUCT ... and when it does not work as advertised or instructed they BLAME YOU ... and this seems to be an okay business practice. The web is so new, people are so uneducated about how to use it and there is so much bull^&* involved... I think these mega-morons are getting away with too much ....

I have used GoDaddy for years and am totally satisifed with their pricing and service.

I have never had a problem with the DNS admin or their security cretificates.

[JPnyc]

Same here. I use them and recommend them to clients and not a problem reported yet.

The more that you use a company and the more customers a company has - the more chances you are going to have for some dissatisfaction. I have used Godaddy for domain registration for a few years but started using DirectI when we became resellers.

As far as registering domain names, we never had a problem with them.

My biggest problem - about eight months ago, the blacklisted one of my mail server's IP addresses (spam they said). After a couple of hours of investigation it seemed that another IP address in the same Class C was the spammer but they blocked the entire class. It took a week for the to fix it - about five phone calls and ten emails. Persistence did pay off at least for this one. :)

Yes I ageed. But what most importantly is how the company deal with the problems and how fast it respond. Or else I will surely change a new company..

I know people that have decided to switch hosting providers from godaddy.com to another and godaddy would freeze their domain and refuse to transfer it to the new provider stating the domain was under investigation. What a load of crap and after everything was done the domain was released almost 3 months later after the person threatened to go to the attorney general but by that time they had lost all prior search engine rankings and over 20,000 visitors a day......boodaddy.com

We use GoDaddy to register domains that are just being forwarded.
Network Solutions charges a separate forwarding charge, and GoDaddy does not. So far GoDaddy has been fine for this very limited use.

i use them and find their lack of good tools is frustrating. but they are cheap. you get what you pay for.

...Good, Fast, Cheap....Pick Any Two

They seem to be better with some services then others...some are more Good and others are more Fast...but all of the stuff at Godaddy seems Cheap.

If you just want the URL and are hosting it with other solutions...is there another one that is better? I havent seen it yet, but I am open.

I have to agree that godaddy is a good company. I have a reseller account with them. Haven't gotten rich by any means with the account. It is a nice augmentation to being a web designers though.

Domains and SSl are all I normally have used from godaddy.

I did have an instance where I needed a very specific configuration for a dedicated server. Ended up going with MidPhase for that server.
