We use a website monitoring tool to track our test sites' uptime over a two-week period. Every 15 minutes, the tool pings our websites and sends an email if it is unable to contact any sites for at least one minute. The data revealed that our test site was unable to be reached a few times during the testing period. It's nowhere near as awful as TMDHosting's recent uptime situation, but any downtime might give you pause.
If you're looking to get into the web hosting business, but you don't want to deal with infrastructure matters, check out GoDaddy's reseller hosting packages. The company's two plans—the $8.99 per month Basic and the $14.99 per month Pro—offer sales and commission reports and credit card processing. The servers have the same RAM and storage amounts as those that Hostwinds supplies directly, which is not always the case.
Note that some GoDaddy products aren't eligible for any refunds whatsoever, or may have different refund policies associated with them. If you're looking for more information, read the GoDaddy refund policies. It's always a good idea to read all policies associated with an item before you buy it, so you can be completely sure you won't lose any money if you end up not liking it! This goes double for online services such as GoDaddy's, which obviously cannot be shipped back.
As Chief Brand Officer, Cameron Scott’s core initiative is to infuse passion and purpose into GoDaddy's brand;driving a company-wide evolution from a trusted staple of the Internet to a broad category leader that truly enables, rallies and champions a tribe of millions of individuals—each who strive to make their own way in life by turning their ideas into a reality online.
If you are not satisfied with a Godaddy product or service, you can cancel it and request a refund by contacting the customer support. For web hosting purchases of annual plans, you get a 30 day money back guarantee. But for monthly hosting plans (i.e. less than 1 year term), you will need to cancel within 48 hours of the date of purchase for a full refund. Rules for cancellations of domain names are different based on the TLD. For standard .COM domains, you need to cancel within 5 days of registration.
And while they’re still fairly rare, getting access to real, working renewal codes is easy. You don’t have to dig through a bunch of sketchy, ad-heavy sites hoping you might find a code that works (and ending up disappointed). Just scroll down to the bottom of any page on our website and sign up for our email list. If you’re eligible for a renewal discount, and you’re signed up for our email list, we’ll deliver it directly to your inbox.
