Ssh access is not provided which makes it a bit difficult to deploy complex applications which needs terminal commands to be run.

"One of the leading Web Service Provider"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

While using it, I came across that Godaddy is one of the best web hosting service provider as it has great speed for loading page. It helped me to deploy applications that are popular on the internet with just one click. It gave me a great storage capacity which is of 100 GB with a nominal price of $5.99/month.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

During the time of checkout, I came across that they are selling a lot of extras services for which I have to pay extra charges. I have to pay for premier plans as base plans were not having features of the SSL certificate. Even at the time of renewal prices that I had to pay were too high. I was facing a problem and when I tried to contact customer support it took a lot of time and around one week for I had to wait for long to resolve my issue.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

There's come a numerous number of features that brings in a lot of benefits for the customer and entice them to stay here longer.

"A hosting dominant place to work with..!!"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

Starting of with prices, comparatively the best hosting domain registrar. A reliable and user friendly domain to work with. Security level with almost all patches removed making it a number one security domain. Data is at its safest zone with the best security from GoDaddy. Customer service also plays a vital role overall which is at this level in the past near days and not before. Overall ratings are good when talked about the only trustworthy product in the market.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

A suggestion to which a disliking is its support system. 24/7 Live chat support is not available so if any error or query is raised it's difficult to get through. The customer support team does not respond as well as per the requirement. Seems like untrained customer service executives are recruited. Finding hardware specifications is also a problem to which support is must from GoDaddy.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining economical stability with this domain. Also helpful in security basis questions compared to other domain hosts. Reliable in every means.

"The best solution for web developers."
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy is the best solution for a web developer, I like that I can find everything I need in one place, GoDaddy offers me all the services to create an optimized website, I can buy the domain and hosting, at a price that fits my budget , I can choose whether I want to pay for the monthly or annual hosting plan. This is a great feature because it allows me to test if hosting works well. GoDaddy has many services available to improve my website, they have good customer service, when I need to do a migration or some installation that I do not know, I call them and they advise me.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy doesn't offer the free SSL certificate, other alternatives like namecheap offer this service for free for one year to buy any domain. This forces me to make an extra expense for purchasing this service which is essential to increase the customer confidence of my websites.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

We solve the problems of management of services for developers, GoDaddy allows us to get everything we need in one place, it is not necessary to buy each product on different platforms, this makes us work in an organized way and also integrate all services easily.

"The perfect platform to register domains and create web pages."
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy is a good website to register domains, I like the interface, it is intuitive and has all the options visible to configure everything easily. On this platform I can get economic domains, a couple of weeks ago buy a .com domain at only 4.99$, I think it's a very cheap price for a quality domain. I also like GoDaddy page builder, it's a great tool, I can create web pages easily and also put them online quickly. I don't need to have programming knowledge to create quality web pages, I just drag the functions that I need and in a few minutes I have my professional website.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I do not like the prices of GoDaddy hosting, I know that they offer excellent customer service and many great features, but the price of hosting is high, I think there are currently other cheaper alternatives like namecheap, I think should create a more economical shared hosting plan for customers who are starting with projects.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have purchased domains for our company easily, GoDaddy has excellent customer service and every time we have any problems to set up some domain we just call customer support and solve our problems quickly. We have also created professional web pages with GoDaddy's page builder, we have solved the web development problem of our company, it is easy and quick to create a website with the features we need.

"We've gotten pretty good web hosting services from GoDaddy for low prices"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy has many web hosting and website-related features that we need aside from just hosting plans. We can add SSL certificates, specialized email accounts, WordPress hosting plans and other privacy and security features. The pricing for the basic plans are usually very low compared to many other of the plans at the same level from other web companies. I like that GoDaddy has been around for a long time and there hasn't been many major issues except for the occasional down time, which I suppose is normal when you have lots of users on one server.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I think that there is an issue when it comes to page loading speeds since there are so many users on a given server, for the most part. There might also be some issues with customer service and it taking a long time to get a hold of them. I've had a decent experience with their customer service, but I do sometimes find it hard to get a hold of them either through phone or email.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can monetize many different social media marketing campaigns through our pages on GoDaddy. We are able to purchase many different hosting-related products for reasonable prices and work with a control panel and other account tools that are easy for several team members to use and maintain. Our websites are a critical component of our business. They are essentially a front door to our business for many leads. Having a presentable website that functions well is important and GoDaddy helps to make sure that happens.

"I've connected to many different web hosting accounts with domains from GoDaddy"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

The sign up process is basically simple and quick. I can find domains for all of the major extensions available today. The pricing is competitive and there are often promotional prices every month or so for new domain registrations. I like that GoDaddy has a domain discount club for people that plan to register many domains over time. That can boost cost savings even more. Linking my domain names with a GoDaddy account is basically instant and without errors. I can also go through a few simple steps to get the domains connected to hosting accounts at other hosting companies.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

Many of the discounts aren't easy to renew. The customer support phone system has so many options that it can be confusing to get to the right department. Working with the domain control panel can be confusing when trying to manage domain names from external registrars. It's usually hit or miss for me when trying to add external domain names.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

GoDaddy is a major process in establishing brand presence and outlets for information and automated customer service on the internet. It is extremely important for our domains to work properly with our hosting accounts and websites, and GoDaddy has been able to give us reliable registration services that can get us going quickly after new domain registrations with little to no downtime once we're rolling.

"GoDaddy is one of the best web hosting providers out there!"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy gives the opportunity to let you build and host websites based on the things you are looking to attach either on a Linux-based server or a Windows-based server as well making it one of its kind. In its features offers the capability of choose which domain you want to adopt for your company or private intranet that you're trying to build with the digital marketing steps and exceptions well structured to be the best software out there with no exceptions.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy is generally a reliable software with the best workflow ever but lacks of better communication with its clients. Both landline and online customer service are right now something really annoying to talk about, and this evidence is given by the fact that they take too long to answer online and landline they never answer or when they do it they give me weird instructions to follow and I ended up understanding anything of what a possible solution that could be.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to GoDaddy we are now able to get to our company more options to take in notice when we talk about subsites of Halliburton when my superiors want to put other things related to what we actually do for the people that work for us and how we treat them through time and how we compensate them as well. Also, hosting several servers for keeping online the main website is getting now more features and adding lots of new things to maintain the quality and reliability of what we're doing as well.

"GoDaddy for the win!"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy is quite exceptional and well-known in the hosting space industry that serves as site owners. This product makes it easy for people who are looking to host a brand new website of its own, following certain specifications for a personal or business site, email services and using their domains by offering affordable prices.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

The web creator tool of GoDaddy needs some improvements, because sometimes hosting a website isn't easy at all. Servers aligned with the website created not always refresh recent information added and it's because of the web creator tool, there are few functions that aren't responding very well while my team is working on sites for clients and that's a big headache.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

With GoDaddy we don't need to worry anymore about buying expensive domains for websites. They actually offer special plans in where you can pay up to $1 per domain and you can have a maximum of 100 domains per license if you're using a Business Plan.

"Go daddy offers cheap domains and affordable hosting "
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

Most of all I like the capabilities of godaddys browser based management panel. They also have support that is readily available 24/7 which is a must for a business owner and particularly a web admin.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

The clutter and confusion of their website and system cab be high and at times make things hard to figure out for the end user. Because Godaddy has grown so large and focused on smaller customers and more recreational and personal use cases, their support, pricing and ease of use are all very poor now from the perspective of an IT administrator. They have a large emphasis on sticking upgrade options at you at every turn so an inexperienced user can throw money at them at every turn if they arent careful or know what they need and require for their particular projects. It's with this confusing practice that an experienced developer or it admin would be frustrated.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acquiring, maintaining and administering domains and servers for various websites, dynamic web applications and other use cases.

"We've happily used GoDaddy for domain registration for years"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy Domains have an extensive amount of domain name extension offerings. On the GoDaddy website's home page, we can conveniently search for available domain name extensions just by searching one keyword. I like that we can see the prices right next to each extension offering, which helps us to figure out the best deals. For domain names that are not immediately available, we can see if they are for sale by the current owner with the possibility of placing an offer for the domain.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

Working with the DNS manager can be rather confusing for certain configurations. Domain names that I own or connect to my GoDaddy account for external management don't always show up in the domains list. I've also gotten some assistance from GoDaddy's domain team that didn't end up working. It seemed like the support person was just reading from a support resource without actually considering the issues.

What problems is GoDaddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the majority of the time we've used GoDaddy for domain registration, we've gotten great service from them. We use GoDaddy domain names for our marketing landing pages, event registration pages and standard company business websites. The domain name propagation times are usually well under the standard waiting times. We've sometimes had domain names propagate within a just a few hours even though it can sometimes take days.
