If you're mainly interested in email services, then traditionally, GoDaddy hasn't had an uptime policy for its older CPanel email. But since the company has transitioned to Microsoft Office 365 for its email services, it's now able to enjoy Microsoft's 99.9% uptime guarantee. However, be aware that GoDaddy has replaced the Office 365 health services dashboard with its own internally branded version. It shows the same kinds of information including when the last issue was, and whether or not it's been resolved.
GoDaddy User Reviews – Kind of a mixed bag here, some people really love their products and support team and other people have not had as good of an experience. Full disclosure: we’ve used GoDaddy for almost 10 years for both domain registration and hosting and have always been happy with the service, although we’ve never had reason to call their customer support line so we can’t speak to that.
In 1999, a group of male employees at Jomax Technologies were brainstorming and decided to change the company name. An employee said, "How about Big Daddy?" However, the domain name had already been purchased. Parsons replied, "How about Go Daddy?" The name was available, so he bought it.[12] Parsons said the company stuck with the name because it made people smile and remember it.[12]
GoDaddy Inc. is an American publicly traded Internet domain registrar and web hosting company,[4] headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and incorporated in Delaware.[5] As of May 2017, GoDaddy has approximately 17 million customers and over 6,000 employees worldwide.[6] The company is known for its advertising on TV and in the newspapers.[7] It has been involved in several controversies related to censorship.[8][9]
If you have lots of domain names under your management, then we recommend that you join GoDaddy’s new “Discount Domain Club”. Essentially you join their club for $7.50/month (we have a code for 33% off club membership in our list below) and you get exclusive offers and discounts for your domain names. In case you’re wondering why we don’t just join the club, take the codes, and then give them to you: well, we tried that. The codes only work for people who are in GoDaddy’s VIP club. If you only have one or two domains, then the discount domain club doesn’t really matter all that much.

_{GoDaddy offers both Linux and Windows shared web servers. It is amongst very few hosting companies that offer windows shared web hosting plans. The shared hosting plans on offer are Economy, Deluxe and Ultimate web hosting plan. When you sign up for one of these plans, you have the option to choose from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years and 10 years term. The price of hosting is reduced if you buy multi-month and multi-year plans. They offer a special price of Godaddy $1 hosting per month. But this is only available for annual plan of GoDaddy Economy hosting. If you commit to any other term (other than 12 months), this $1 pricing is not available.}

I've been with GoDaddy for 13 years. I've noticed over the last few years their customer service has become crap. Before, they would help you. Now, it's so good. Each time I call about a problem, the person who answers tells me a different story, which usually ends in the problem not being solved, and then them trying to upsell me on some product I don't need.

Their "getting started" process was confusing and I paid BEYOND more than what I was told at the beginning because they make it sound like your site will not be up and running without certain add-ons. I bit my tongue at my first payment and moved forward with getting my site set up. I took it slowly and did not immediately publish it - apparently, that's not allowed and my draft was deleted after a week or two. Lesson learned, I redid my site, published it and everything seemed good.

There’s a good chance you’ll see several records in here, especially if your domain has been pointed at a different service. For now, we’re just going to be concerned with the A Name record described below since it’s the record responsible for pointing your domain to your website. Be careful about modifying or deleting any other records – especially MX records, which are responsible for email. Also, it never hurts to take a screenshot before you start making changes.

GoDaddy on Facebook – Their Facebook page has articles related to building and managing websites for small to medium sized businesses. They do not allow you to post anything to their Facebook wall but you can send them messages, I’m not sure how frequently they check those messages so if you need quick support you are probably better off contacting them directly through their support page.
