Brad – I am almost the opposite of Kevin in that I want a life of simplicity. I delete the “Godaddy Renewal Notice” emails I get and I just let it automatically renew at full price. I feel like my mental energies work best when I simplify and automate everything. I’m paying a little bit more, but as a reward I haven’t even thought about my domains/hosting plans this year (until I was asked to contribute to this post, that is!).
There are some instances where you would need to unlock your domain. Modifying your name server or initiating a registrar transfer can be considered as perfect examples for such situations. In those situations, you should unlock the domain only for transfers and it should keep locked for normal use. Godaddy has provided required facilities for their users to do this and you will not have to worry about anything.
GoDaddy is very well known in the web hosting space. It offers shared hosting and wordpress hosting at the entry level of hosting services. So, a customer can easily procure a domain name, sign up for one of these hosting packages and build their website incredibly fast. Godaddy also offers a range of VPS and dedicated server hosting options. So the upgrade to one of these is very seamless, as the business and traffic increases on the customer website.
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.
I’ve tested all Godaddy coupons and promo codes below before posting on this website. However, these types of Godaddy coupons usually end and expire quickly, usually after 3 days – 7 days active, without having any notifications from Godaddy. Hence, if you don’t frequently look for Godaddy coupon codes on the internet, you should bookmark this page for the later use.
GoDaddy offers Managed WordPress hosting starting at a low price of $3.99/mo (applicable with a 50% off discount coupon).

You also get access to thousands of free wordpress themes. Another important feature is free daily backups of your website that can be restored with a single click. Each backed up version is saved by Godaddy for a month.

Generating fake domain name renewal notifications is a trick followed by scammers for domain hijacking. You should sign up to your web host with a personal email address in order to stay away from this hassle. If you are getting a lot of spam mails for your existing email address, you can think about creating another email address and linking it to the host. Some of the email service providers such as Gmail have excellent spam filtering capabilities. You can get the best use out of them to stay away from hassle. If a domain transfer is being attempted, Godaddy would notify you and you will be able to take appropriate action.

There’s a belief out there that locking in your domain name for a few years signals to Google and other search engines that your website is focused on quality, and won’t be a spammy ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ type of website. GoDaddy has said that it’s not a factor in your search results. Renewing your domain for multiple years is definitely much more convenient, but it’s won’t increase your search engine rankings.

When I complained they said they would do it for $40.00. I truly believe that I have been scammed and it seems to me that they took down my site so they could charge me more money to put it back. I had to do all the work to get the site back up and after spending over an hour trying to get my domain verified and having Nathan, a supervisor, tell me that he had no problem doing his own site and could not help he told me that I was having the problem because something was wrong on their end. They had many calls about the same issue.
GoDaddy charges a monthly fee for its Linux- or Windows-based shared web servers, but it reduces the price if you commit to a multi-month or annual package. However, GoDaddy requires you to sign up for its pricier Deluxe, Ultimate, or Maximum plans (starting at $10.99, $16.99, an $24.99, respectively) for the option to pay for hosting on a month-to-month basis (the basic Economy plan requires you to sign up for a minimum of three months). This may not have much impact on businesses, but a cash-strapped blogger may not appreciate GoDaddy's lack of a single-month option in its Economy package.
In 2009, GoDaddy purchased spots for two different commercials featuring GoDaddy Girl and IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick for Super Bowl XLIII. In "Shower", Danica takes a shower with Simona Fusco Stratten as three college students control the women's maneuvers from a computer. "Baseball" is a spoof of the steroids scandal.[61] While "Shower" won GoDaddy's online vote, "Baseball" was the most popular of the Super Bowl. Both helped increase domain registrations 110 percent above 2008 post Super Bowl levels.[62][63] GoDaddy posted Internet-only versions of its commercials during the game, which were extended versions containing more risque content.[64] "Baseball" was the most watched Super Bowl commercial according to TiVo, Inc.[65] According to comScore, GoDaddy ranked first in advertiser Web site follow-through.[66] Rob Goulding, head of business-to-business markets for Google, offered an in-depth analysis of Super Bowl spots that aired during Sunday's championship game. He said the most successful were multichannel-oriented, driving viewers to Web sites and "focusing on conversion as never before". GoDaddy experienced significant Web traffic and a strong "hangover" effect of viewer interest in the days that followed due to a provocative "teaser" advertisement pointing to the Web, Goulding said.[67]
GoDaddy offers both Linux and Windows server based VPS hosting packages. There are 4 different plans – Economy, Value, Deluxe and Ultimate. All of these plans come with unlimited bandwidth, 3 dedicated IPs and an SSL Certificate free of charge for first year of hosting term. Economy VPS plan provides 1GB memory and 40GB storage. This increases to 2GB memory and 60GB storage in Value VPS plan. The Deluxe VPS plan ups it further to 4GB memory and 120GB storage, while the highest Ultimate VPS plan caps it to 8GB memory and 240GB of storage space. Godaddy claims that it takes just a few minutes to provision a VPS and will take care of backups, patching and monitoring the security status of the server. Other administration tasks are either handled by the customer or Godaddy team, based on the level of management chosen (Self-Managed, Managed or Fully Managed). For fully-managed VPS plans, you need to pay an additional fee.
From there you can proceed to the checkout and finalize your payment. Sometimes GoDaddy will automatically apply discounts for you, it will be obvious as the total on the right hand side of the checkout page will already be reduced. GoDaddy always displays the amount of money that you saved under the final total, so if there is no discount displayed then that means that no discount has been applied yet.
