I've been with GoDaddy for @20 years and have over 100 domain sites registered with them. They also host my business website. They have gone from stellar to a total disaster. I'd write a longer, more specific review if I and my co-worker hadn't spent over 4 hours on the phone with their lack-of-tech-support over the past 4 hours. No two people give the same information or advice. It's terrifying for anyone in business. Truly a NIGHTMARE!
GoDaddy has 24/7 telephone support and live web chat support. We placed a call on a weekday afternoon and spoke to a customer service rep less than two minutes later. We asked about the differences between the Linux and Windows operating system, and once again experienced the best customer support of any of the web hosting services we've tested so far. The rep was friendly and knowledgeable.

Along with the slew of desktop apps, you also get access to Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA), a sleek and modern web adaptation of the Outlook email client. It offers a familiar layout for calendars, contacts, and tasks, and a new "focused inbox"—all available in your browser. What Microsoft means by a "focused inbox" is that, rather than just being a dumping ground for all incoming email, it defaults to a dynamic view that's constantly being updated. This tech is based on a machine learning (ML) algorithm that attempts to figure out which email is most important to you; everything else goes to the regular inbox. As you sort emails between the focused inbox and the regular inbox, the algorithm gradually gets better, helping you to concentrate on email that matters most. You'll also be able to use mentions. When creating a new email, if you prepend someone's name with the @ sign, then it will automatically Cc that individual. You can also apply a filter that will show you emails in which you were directly mentioned.
On March 11, 2008, GoDaddy shut down RateMyCop.com — a RateMyProfessors-type site where people would comment on their interactions with law enforcement officers. Some reports said there had been complaints from police. A GoDaddy spokesperson said, "Basically, he was paying for compact car, when he really needed a semi-truck."[109] The registrar for the name, Name.com, continued to allow the DNS to resolve, and it is now hosted at Lunarpages. GoDaddy stated the reason for shutting down the Web site had nothing to do with censorship or complaints but that the site was receiving too many simultaneous connections.[110] In 2006, GoDaddy locked access to the Irish Web site RateYourSolicitor.com after the Irish high court issued an order to remove offensive material about a barrister from the site.[111]
On September 10, 2012, a major networking failure caused by corrupted router tables resulted in a DNS outage intermittently affecting millions of customers' sites for a period of 4.5 hours.[125][126] Initial reports attributed it to a DDOS attack. This claim was disputed by Wagner, who stated that the isolated incident was due to internal mistakes that led to corrupt data tables. Wagner stood by the quality of GoDaddy's infrastructure, citing a 99.999% uptime.[127] GoDaddy later said in an apology e-mail to its customers on September 14, 2012, that the outage was due to the corruption of router data tables,[128][129] confirming indications that millions of web sites and e-mails were affected.
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]

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.
Noodle, the lovable pug, joins us on this special episode of School of Hustle at the @WeWork office. Head over to Facebook now to hear all about the lessons he’s learned so far from our guests. #nlypd #NationalLoveYourPetDay http://facebook.com/GoDaddy/videos/2654764531206764/?__xts__[0]=68.ARCcVa50QjtBh5f4jGHwobIOrCpX3bYmuHshlAL42Q5xq8NrmX5DFFwXAXNC06NpuhbMesOG1_Jp8bZr1TwB7Kd_TshiRuWVWtJcm9Pyi_ZPEWzAc9aU0jpxUNx3b_IWKTBiM3J2yWN5_ElkcqwTZ8l5ZS5VhWDUBs9BE26LA8hyEiSvwza4rO5QkEmRlcKoMHNI0XOY1tersDuphJYr6WnGofJV0XwspjePf_eB0QZFBdksANgbm8GqIns2k6MVdx7uZLTGlZ_ityZymX9cgpjP5Mfz7MhvIX0rezQS5iwyzYIz_tgHswzXuulecrjiiOcaGbkpGblxSWu0ym_bPN9FCg&__tn__=-R …pic.twitter.com/NhepGArExN
DNS by nature can take 24-48 hours to fully propagate across the entire internet, though we generally see much quicker propagation. GoDaddy has each Time to Live setting for each record set to 1 hour. Depending on when that last hourly check was, you should see your changes go live in an hour or less. If you’d like to speed things up, you can select a shorter TTL value, but make sure to do that at least an hour or more BEFORE you edit the rest of your records.
GoDaddy has rich shared hosting plans, but HostGator still reigns as the PCMag Editors' Choice for shared web hosting services. Like GoDaddy, HostGator boasts unlimited domains and monthly data transfers across the board, and a choice of Linux- or Windows-based servers, but it tops its rival by offering a VoIP number for your business and unlimited storage with all plans.
I've been billed for emails that I deleted and haven't used for over 6 months. Their delete account button somehow empties their slot but keeps on billing you "just in case you may assign another email". Then all of a sudden weird emails popped up one day with username user1, user2 etc in the weirdest way. It took a while for the support person to figure out what's going on etc as well as me. Bad experience, bad billing practises, bad support. Stay out.
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.
With the Discount Domain Club membership you also get a one-year membership to GoDaddy Auctions and CashParking. If you already have a GoDaddy Auctions account then you get a one-year renewal for that account, and if you already have a Cash Parking account then you either get a free upgrade to a premium account or you get an additional premium account.
