When the renewal notice shows up in my email inbox, it’s a time of reflection for me. My website has been up for a year now: has it achieved the goals I had set for it? Surpassed them? My hopes and dreams for each website always change as time goes on: technology changes, the economic landscape of various industries change. What was a profitable venture one year is a sucker’s game the next.

Last many years, GoDaddy has become one of the most popular hosting companies on the Internet. According to reports; GoDaddy manages more than 50 million domains and hosting.

In recent years, GoDaddy has been increasingly popular for its affordable prices and exceptional customer service.

On January 24, 2007, GoDaddy deactivated the domain of computer security site Seclists.org, taking 250,000 pages of security content offline.[103] The shutdown resulted from a complaint from MySpace to GoDaddy regarding 56,000 user names and passwords posted a week earlier to the full-disclosure mailing list and archived on the Seclists.org site as well as many other websites. Seclists.org administrator Gordon Lyon, who goes by the handle "Fyodor", provided logs to CNET News.com showing GoDaddy de-activated the domain 52 seconds after leaving him a voicemail and he had to go to great lengths to get the site reactivated. GoDaddy general counsel Christine Jones stated that GoDaddy's terms of service "reserves the right to terminate your access to the services at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever."[104] The site seclists.org is now hosted with Linode. The suspension of seclists.org led Lyon to create NoDaddy.com,[105] a consumer activist website where dissatisfied GoDaddy customers and whistleblowers from GoDaddy's staff share their experiences.[8][106] On July 12, 2011, an article in The Register reported that, shortly after Bob Parsons' sale of GoDaddy, the company purchased gripe site No Daddy. The site had returned a top 5 result on Google for a search for GoDaddy.[107][108]
There may be other considerations too. Their WordPress hosting is managed. This means they will take care of the security, caching but you will have no access to cPanel. Their cPanel hosting does not have all the performance and security enhancements but does offer more flexibility in how you wish to configure your website. It will also make it easier to move hosts in the future should you need to.
Sometime in late-2015, GoDaddy stopped offering publicly available coupon codes for renewals of domain names, hosting products, and the like. Every once in a while we find promo codes that will still work, and we put them up here for people to use and save. But as time goes on, these codes are dwindling. We’ve populated our list with lots of cool coupons for new products like Office 365, Website builders, SSL certificates, and domain registrations, but these are for new purchases (meaning it’s the first time you’ve ordered the product).
