fenway Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Me neither... never used another domain registrar other than them. And they didn't hold an expired domain hostage at all... almost unheard of these days.

obsidian Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 While I agree that their tools and templates leave something to be desired, I would hope that someone in a development forum wouldn't be using those things as grounds for the comment. I, like the others, have always had great service from them.

peranha Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I have had the best service with them so far, tried a couple of others, but they are the best to deal with as of yet for me.

Fadion Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ive been a customer of goddady for about 2 years, including domains and hosting and ive never had even a minimal problem. The only thing that bothers me is their support, which usually replies to email in more then 2 hours.

Philip Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 For domains they don't suck... but hosting, yes. For someone used to cPanel, and having a client insist on using GoDaddy (what they were previously using) it's a lot different. Oh, and their site navigation sucks IMO (although they are starting to upgrade it all) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/104886-godaddy-sucks/#findComment-542512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyandkari Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i have used godaddy for a few years and have no quarrels...the post that you mentioned, barand, he was using godaddy's windows hosting. php is not supported on windows for gd. in that regard, yes it would suck...but why use windows, when linux is just as good?

tomfmason Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have had two dedicated servers and shared hosting with them in the past. I didn't really use the shared hosting much so i can't really say much about that. The dedicated servers performed exactly as expected though. The only problem that I have ever had was setting up a rails app on their shared hosting for a client. That was a real pita but other than I think it is a decent host.

Not to answer for ardyandkari, but I ran into that problem a couple years ago at my former place of employment. My boss (who knew nothing of teh intarweb other than games and porn) bought Windows hosting through GoDaddy because he thought he needed a Windows server for web pages to work on a Windows client machine. When I came in and was told to build our online store, I was shocked to learn that GoDaddy didn't have WAMP support. If you wanted PHP, you needed their Linux hosting. We put the store on Bluehost instead. I know that GoDaddy has since changed that, but in late 2006/early 2007 their Windows servers didn't have PHP installed.

The Little Guy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just taking a look at godaddy's prices and what they have to offerer, I would have to say I would NEVER use godaddy for web hosting. They are too expensive compared to who I use for my hosting needs. I get TONS of stuff, plus with SSH, I can modify my ini file to have my own custom php, and I can also install my own software on their machines, such as imagemagick (but they already have that installed) ffmepg (already installed as well) but if it wasn't installed I could install either one, and anything else. I have 50 times the amount of file storage, and 18 times the amount of bandwidth. I also have more everything else that they offer, so I see why you would say their hosting sux, because I would agrree on that due to the fact of what my host offers. I have bough my domains from godaddy all the time, they have a great price, and I have not had any problems. So, this being the case I will always use godaddy. I know my host has a registrar too, but godaddy has so many promotions, that you can get $9.99 domains for $5.99 with there codes, and these happen hundreds of times a year, so that is why I like godady. Their hosting his hideous, but their domain service is amazing.

I know this from personal and professional experince. There is really no way that a company could make any money(or least not enough to make the hassle worth it) by offering that amount of services and not over book their servers. Most companies that do not have an oc-38 connection or higher pay between $10 and $30 per mbs per month. So there is really no way that they could offer 3000gb (10mbs)monthly transfer to a shared hosting client and stay in business.
