Godaddy Review 2025: Is Daddy Really caring for his children?

Aon uair, bha mi nam dhuine òg. Cho-dhùin mi ceum mòr a ghabhail: cha bhith barrachd luchd-togail làrach-lìn an-asgaidh dhòmhsa, chan eil sir… dìreach an fhìor rud:

Neach-aoigheachd lìn PAID. Aon a leigeadh leam làrach-lìn REAL a thogail.

So I went to GoDaddy. Why?

Because GoDaddy had EVERYTHING. It had a neach-togail làrach-lìn, a domain name, and the hosting ALL for (at the time) about a DOLLAR a month. INCREDIBLE!

Bha mi air bhioran. Thog mi a làraich. Bha mi toilichte…

Airson bliadhna.

Now, this experience is unfortunately not just limited to younger-me. Countless newbies have learned certain aspects of hosting the HARD way, and NOT just from GoDaddy.

But, while many popular hosts are guilty of misleading advertising, GoDaddy is particularly infamous for it. Why?

Cause it’s HUGE. GoDaddy has over 18 MILLION customers and manages over 77 MILLION domains, making it the biggest domain registrar and probably the biggest consumer web host.

Ach, chan urrainn dhut a bhith cho mòr gun duilgheadasan. Aig a ’mheud sin, dh’ fhaodadh tu a bhith nad thargaid.

Agus tha e cho mòr is gu bheil e a ’dèanamh beagan de A H-UILE:

Agus tha e cuideachd mì-chliùiteach airson a bhith a ’feuchainn ri beagan de A H-UILE DUINE a reic dhut.

But it is first and foremost an internet hosting company and the domain registrar. We’ve evaluated GoDaddy as a neach-clàraidh, but now I’ll be looking at GoDaddy as a super popular web host.

Tha e mì-chliùiteach airson a bhith meallta, cus cus reic a dhèanamh, agus a bhith ro mhòr airson a bhith a ’gabhail cùram mu a luchd-ceannach, am measg rudan eile.

Ach a bheil e dha-rìribh SO uamhasach? No an e dìreach ciontach de stuth a tha na h-aoighean uile ciontach?

A bheil e dìreach na thargaid nas fhasa air sgàth a mheud?

I care about facts. And so do you. So let’s talk about the FACTS of GoDaddy right now, and get to the full truth of how GoDaddy measures as a web host.

Godaddy Review: Uptime

Bidh mi a ’tòiseachadh seo le bhith a’ coimhead gu bunaiteach air a ’chiad rud a bu chòir don mhòr-chuid againn a bhith a’ coimhead nuair a bhios sinn a ’sgrùdadh aoigheachd:

AN URRAMACH. Ann am faclan eile, dè cho fada ‘s a tha an làrach agam UP?

Well, I’ve measured GoDaddy’s ùireach bhon Lùnastal 2018, agus balach, a bheil rudeigin agam ri shealltainn dhut.

Faodaidh tu sgrùdadh a dhèanamh air sgòr uptime mionaideach an seo.

Yep. Look, I understand the impulse to hate on GoDaddy.

Ach is e an rud mu na sgòran sin, tha iad fìor mhath. Fìor, chan eil sinn a ’bruidhinn PERFECT…

Ach thar ùine 8 mìosan, b ’e sgòr WORST 99.97%, a tha ag eadar-theangachadh gu timcheall air 12 mionaidean de dh’ ìsleachadh thar na mìos. Chan eil sin air leth freagarrach, ach gu math nas fheàrr na mòran chompanaidhean farpaiseach.

A bharrachd air an sin, bha 99.99% uptime no nas àirde mar a bha e airson 6 de na 8 mìosan, AGUS bha na h-amannan freagairt air an taobh as ìsle.

So yeah, I can’t say GoDaddy is perfect, but my uptime tests show a pretty strong candidate. If you still want to see GoDaddy get bashed—well, you might want to skip the next section, because it’s not a weakness

Furasta a chleachdadh agus eòlas luchd-cleachdaidh

Oops, an do rinn mi milleadh air?

Well…GoDaddy is easy to use.

Agus chan eil sin na iongnadh, oir ma tha e gu cinnteach mar aon de na companaidhean aoigheachd as motha a tha timcheall, agus mar as trice bidh am meud sin a ’ciallachadh ìre as ìsle de chàirdeas luchd-cleachdaidh.

GoDaddy IS generally easy, but if there’s something I don’t like, it’s that logging in is not a super-efficient mode of managing your account or products.

Tha e a ’faireachdainn mar gu bheil millean duilleag eadar-dhealaichte ann airson a h-uile càil. Agus, tha grunn de àrdachadh ann. Gabh seo mar eisimpleir:

Please understand that I have a LOT of products with GoDaddy, most of them roinnean. Nuair a thèid mi gu “Mo chunntas,” is e seo a tha mi a ’faicinn mar“ an dachaigh. ”

Tha mi a ’faicinn UPSELL airson dìreach AON de dh’ iomadh toradh a th ’agam oir thàinig an deuchainn an-asgaidh gu crìch.

Mar sin tha e gu math furasta gluasad timcheall agus seòladh, ach tha e uamhasach annasach cuideachd.

Feumaidh mi gluasad gu “My Products” gus na stuthan a th ’agam fhaicinn agus grunn chlàran-taice a tharraing air ais gus mo thoraidhean aoigheachd lìn fhaicinn.

An uairsin, is urrainn dhomh “riaghladh na h-uile” a bhriogadh gus faighinn gu duilleag DIFFERENT a leigeas leam na diofar thoraidhean aoigheachd agam fhaicinn. Le upsells.

Air neo, is urrainn dhomh dìreach “riaghlaidh” a bhriogadh airson an làrach sònraichte a tha mi ag iarraidh, agus faighinn chun seo:

A leigeas leat mu dheireadh faighinn gu duilleag far am faic thu na roghainnean aoigheachd agad airson làrach.

Agus CHAN urrainn dhut faighinn gu DEIREANNACH chun cPanel agad le bhith a ’briogadh air a’ phutan gu h-àrd air an làimh dheis:

Look, GoDaddy isn’t totally unique in this. And in the end, you won’t lose a ton of time. It’s just very frustrating and reflects, in my opinion, poor design.

Mar sin, tha, faodaidh eadar-aghaidh a bhith tedious agus ro sgapte, ach chan eil e duilich.

Mura h-eil “dòighean pàighidh” fèin-mhìneachaidh gu leòr, tha beagan tuairisgeul fon roghainn ag innse dhut dè a gheibh thu a-steach.

And when you consider that everything is clearly labeled, easy to read, and often explained, it becomes clear that for all its fault, GoDaddy IS glè fhurasta a chleachdadh.

If you’re a GoDaddy hater, don’t worry. We’re about to get into something you’ll enjoy…

Prìsean is Feartan

The thing that will get GoDaddy’s critics excited? It’s this—a discussion of GoDaddy’s prices and features.

Gheibh thu a-mach carson mar a thig sinn a-steach, agus mar sin leumaidh mi a-steach agus tòisichidh mi leis an planaichean aoigheachd co-roinnte. GoDaddy has three types of website hosting plans. The first is normal shared web hosting:

When I started typing up this review, these were the prices GoDaddy offered. The next day they dropped the first tier with a special promotion:

This is the deal GoDaddy is especially famous for. And they’re famous for adding and dropping these promotions regularly.

So if you want to buy the cheapest shared hosting you can, and find that GoDaddy’s planaichean co-roinnte tòiseachadh aig faisg air $ 3 gach mìos - dìreach feitheamh. Thèid e gu $ 1 a-rithist a dh ’aithghearr.

Co-dhiù, OVERALL, tha a ’phrìs seo am measg an fheadhainn as saoire san t-saoghal aoigheachd lìn, co-dhiù airson a’ chiad bhliadhna. Agus uaireannan, tha e eadhon nas saoire le sònraichte lasachaidhean.

A bharrachd air an sin, chan eil na cìsean ùrachaidh cho dona an coimeas ri cuid den fheadhainn eile a chunnaic mi.

Is e an toradh gu bheil na planaichean sin, ann an sgeama nan rudan, air an taobh ruigsinneach eadhon nuair a bheir thu aire do ùrachadh.

Tha a h-uile càil eile gu math àbhaisteach. Bidh thu a ’tòiseachadh le aon làrach-lìn, leud-bann gun tomhas, post-d, àrainn, agus 100 GB de stòradh.

This is where you start to see some of what GoDaddy is criticized for:

Chan eil am post-d gnìomhachais ach deuchainn trì mìosan an-asgaidh. An àrainn? Tha e an-asgaidh airson a ’chiad bhliadhna agus an uairsin ùrachadh aig a’ phrìs làithreach aige.

Tha an stòradh ceart gu leòr. Air pàipear, chan eil e cho glamorous sin, an taca ri mòran de phlanaichean co-roinnte a tha TÒRR le stòradh “gun chrìoch” no tòrr de stòradh SSD.

Ach seo an fhìrinn:

Ma tha thu ag obair leis na planaichean aoigheachd lìn co-roinnte as ruigsinneach, tha thu ag ìobairt cumhachd airson ruigsinneachd agus ruigsinneachd. Mar sin tha 100GB gu math ceart, agus co-dhiù, tha stòradh “gun chrìoch” aig a h-uile sreath às deidh sin.

A bharrachd air an sin, bidh ìrean nas àirde a ’faighinn làraich gun chrìoch, subdomains gun chrìoch, SSL (uaireannan), agus dìreach àrdachadh iomlan ann an cumhachd.

This is pretty common, and so far, GoDaddy hasn’t been deviating from the normal shared web hosting plan structure or feature allocation too much.

Gu h-iomlan, tha iad sin ceart gu leòr, ach a-mhàin:

Is dòcha nach fhiach “eaconamaidh”, eadhon ged a tha thu a ’coimhead airson fuasgladh buidseit.

The free stuff isn’t so free, and for a slightly higher price with other hosting companies or even a higher GoDaddy tier, you can get a lot more bang for the buck.

Rinn mi lèirmheas mionaideach air Godaddyplanaichean eile mar sin Mura h-eil thu airson am fiosrachadh sin a leughadh, faodaidh tu leum le bhith a ’cliogadh an seo.

Seo an DARA seòrsa aoigheachd làrach-lìn, seata phlanaichean aoigheachd co-roinnte eile:

Tha seo air a riaghladh WordPress aoigheachd. Tha riaghladh sa chùis seo a ’ciallachadh, seadh, gu bheilear a’ toirt aire dhut a ’mhòr-chuid de rudan. Feumaidh tu dìreach WordPress a chleachdadh gus do làrach a stèidheachadh. Easy-peasy.

Tha na prìsean gu math - tha a ’mhòr-chuid de aoigheachd WordPress air a riaghladh a tha mi a’ faicinn gu math nas daoire a ’chiad bhliadhna mun aon phrìs nuair a thèid ùrachadh.

Tha e fìor gu bheil thu a ’fàs cuibhrichte ann an cuid de dhòighean - tha 10GB de rùm gu math ìosal airson a stòradh, eadhon ged a tha e SSD.

Seo rudeigin a tha seann-fhasanta:

GoDaddy has overage fees.

Tha seo an coimeas ri “leud bann gun tomhas.” A-nis, chan eil an diofar cho mòr ‘s a bhiodh tu a’ smaoineachadh air frithealaichean co-roinnte (faic na Ceistean Cumanta aig a ’bhonn airson tuilleadh fiosrachaidh), ach is e an toradh gum pàigh thu cìsean a bharrachd ma ruigeas tu cuota sònraichte de luchd-tadhail.

A bharrachd air an sin, tha cùisean gu math àbhaisteach. Suidhichidh na cìsean cuibheasach mòran dhaoine, ach air na h-ìrean as ìsle, is dòcha nach bi e gu diofar mòran. Tha an stòradh gu math ìosal, ach ma tha fios agad dè a tha thu a ’dèanamh air làrach bunaiteach, cha bhith e gu diofar.

Mar sin tha na planaichean WordPress fo stiùir coltach ris an aoigheachd roinnte àbhaisteach:

Decent. Prìsean nas ìsle, agus feartan meadhanach a bheir an obair gu buil.

Anyway, GoDaddy offers another type of website-oriented hosting, a set of plans that is significantly higher-powered:

Is e seo “aoigheachd lìn gnìomhachais” agus tha e rud beag gun samhail. Tha e coltach ri aoigheachd co-roinnte, but with more power. You know, for businesses. Here’s how GoDaddy describes it:

So even though GoDaddy presents its business hosting as similar to its shared hosting on the website, the resources are dedicated, not shared.

Is e puing PRÌOMH a tha seo agus tha e airidh air beachdachadh air aoigheachd gnìomhachais.

Bidh e cuideachd a ’dèanamh na prìsean coimeasach reusanta. Ach, tha cuid de chùisean agam leis na goireasan a chaidh a riarachadh. Seo carson:

Fiù ‘s ma gheibh thu an gealladh mu earbsachd agus gealltanas gum bi __ uiread de ghoireasan rim faighinn airson do làrach, tha cuid dhiubh sin beagan ìosal airson a’ phrìs.

60GB de stòradh airson “iomadh làrach bunaiteach” aig $ 30.00 gach mìos (às deidh a ’chiad bhliadhna)? Is dòcha gum bi cuid de na planaichean eile nas fheàrr airson do ghnìomhachas, ach tha mi teagmhach. Seo an fhìrinn onarach:

Gheibh thu pacaidean aoigheachd àrd-inbhe eile airson prìsean coltach ri luchd-aoigheachd eile. Aig amannan dh ’fhaodadh iad sin a bhith nan aoigheachd co-roinnte àrd-ìre, ach is dòcha nach eil.

A dh ’aindeoin sin, is dòcha gum faigh thu prìsean coltach ri specs nas fheàrr, goireasan, agus liosta nas fhaide de fheartan.

Air an làimh eile, is e ath-thagradh nam planaichean aoigheachd gnìomhachais sin gu bheil iad a ’cothlamadh cleachdadh gu furasta le cumhachd.

Agus a-rithist, is e gnothach mòr a th ’ann am PROMISE a gheibh thu na goireasan a tha am plana a’ mìneachadh. Mar sin fàgaidh mi na planaichean sin aig “math,” ach rudeigin airson a bhith faiceallach.

Na cuir às dhaibh, ach rannsaich an urrainn do luchd-aoigheachd eile taic a thoirt do na gnìomhachasan agad san aon dòigh A ’CHIAD.

Ma choimhead thu air a ’chairt sin a sheall mi, tha fios agad gu bheil seòrsa eile de aoigheachd againn a’ tighinn suas. Bhiodh sin na fhrithealaiche prìobhaideach mas-fhìor (VPS) a ’toirt aoigheachd:

As you can see, these are roughly in the same price range as the business hosting plans. And what’s really great is that GoDaddy tairgsean an dà chuid planaichean Linux (gu h-àrd) agus planaichean Windows:

Gu dearbh, tha e an urra riut fhèin a bheil feum agad air frithealaichean Windows no Linux, ach tha mi a ’smaoineachadh gu bheil prìs reusanta aig gach cuid. Agus chan eil e neo-chumanta do luchd-frithealaidh Windows a bhith nas daoire.

Ach tha rudeigin ann nach toil leam gu mòr:

Tha e coltach gu bheil cuid de na cìsean ùrachadh sin gu math neo-riatanach. Bheir mi cead seachad gu bheil planaichean VPS dìreach mar roghainnean nas prìseile san fharsaingeachd, ach tha mi fhathast a ’faighinn a-mach gu bheil na prìsean a’ leum gu mì-fhortanach.

But this is, in the scheme of hosting, a more minor complaint. It’s also true that GoDaddy’s first-year prices are on the less expensive side.

Air an toirt còmhla, seo an suidheachadh:

Tha na planaichean VPS DECENT. Airson a ’chiad bhliadhna, tha iad gu math deagh chùis, but in the long run, they’re just moderate. You can get your work done just fine. But I don’t think GoDaddy is the BEST VPS hosting.

Co-dhiù, seo an rud mu dheireadh againn:

These are the big guns, the dedicated servers. As with the VPS options, GoDaddy has a great strength in offering both Linux (above) and Windows servers:

A-nis, nam biodh tu a ’coimhead gu dlùth, is dòcha gu robh thu air rudeigin a mhothachadh.

Rud UGLY:

Bidh na frithealaichean Linux sònraichte ag ùrachadh aig faisg air TWICE a ’chiad phrìs ceannach. Chan eil na frithealaichean Windows nas fheàrr.

A-nis, seall, tha fios agam! Is e luchd-frithealaidh sònraichte an-còmhnaidh na planaichean aoigheachd as prìseile!

ACH:

Why DOUBLE the price after a year? It’s not like GoDaddy is lying to you, but I still find it skeevy.

Ach airson a h-uile gràin a th ’agam, tha tòrr math ann cuideachd. Air sgàth nam prìsean ciad bliadhna sin?

Tha iad MÒR. Bidh iad a ’tòiseachadh gu math ìosal, a’ beachdachadh air na tha thu a ’faighinn. Tha seo chun na h-ìre, ma tha thu a ’cumail grèim air seirbheisiche sònraichte airson dà bhliadhna, tha coltas ann gu bheil thu fhathast a’ faighinn deagh chothrom.

Now, I’ll admit, GoDaddy doesn’t have the latest specs:

Ach tha an t-sreath Xeon E3 fhathast na phròiseasar dearbhte a tha fìor fheuchainn. Bidh cuid de luchd-aoigheachd a ’tabhann na modalan as ùire, ach chan fheum a h-uile duine sin, agus tha an t-sreath E3 fhathast uile-làthaireach ann an aoigheachd coisrigte planaichean co-dhiù.

Is e na goireasan a tha a ’còrdadh rium gu sònraichte:

Bidh na frithealaichean ìre inntrigidh a ’tighinn le 4 cores aig 3.1GHz, 4GB de RAM, agus 1TB de stòradh. Mar a dh ’fhàsas tu suas, gheibh thu barrachd RAM agus barrachd stòraidh, ach chan eil an còrr ag atharrachadh.

O, mun stòradh ... seadh, is e RAID-1 a th ’ann, chan e RAID-10 (a tha nas tèarainte). Ged, tha sin gam thoirt gu puing àicheil eile…

Chan eil RAID-10 aig gin de na planaichean frithealaiche sònraichte. Bidh RAID-10 a ’cur sreath de choileanadh, cumhachd, agus tèarainteachd, agus tha e air fàs gu math cumanta le luchd-aoigheachd eile.

AGUS, chan urrainn dhut barrachd choraichean fhaighinn - ach tha an fhìrinn gu bheil thu TÒRR le 4 math.

Nonetheless, remember that GoDaddy isn’t offering you the BEST dedicated servers. They’re offering you AFFORDABLE, DECENT dedicated servers.

And this is not a bad thing at all. Even if you’re getting a dedicated server, you don’t need to go all out. This makes GoDaddy’s dedicated servers pretty great mid-tier roghainnean.

Mar sin, cuiridh sinn suas na prìsean agus na feartan, daoine. Dè a th ’ann an gist, a-rithist?

Decent pricing, mid-tier options. None of GoDaddy’s plans scream “EXCELLENT!”

Ach is e an fhìrinn shìmplidh nach fheum sinn uile “SÒNRAICHTE!”.

A lot of us just need something quick, effective, and affordable. And so far, all of GoDaddy’s plans are those things. This is true for all the different kinds of hosting—prices are low or standard, and features and resources are usually okay. Limited for some, good on others.

So GoDaddy’s pricing and features, generally, are just decent but not exceptional.

Skip everything and get started.

But that’s only part of the picture…GoDaddy’s target, newer hosting customers, will also need something else:

Godaddy: Taic teachdaiche

Tha taic do luchd-cleachdaidh gu math mòr. Tha e mòr airson a h-uile companaidh aoigheachd, dìreach air sgàth nàdar teicnigeach na seirbheis - bidh mearachdan a ’tachairt, bidh duilgheadasan ag èirigh, feumar fuasgladh fhaighinn air cùisean tèarainteachd, msaa.

Mar sin, eadhon ma tha thu nad neach-cleachdaidh adhartach, bidh thu ag iarraidh deagh sheirbheis luchd-cleachdaidh - oir faodaidh seirbheis teachdaiche sgoinneil do chuideachadh gus barrachd a dhèanamh leis a ’phlana aoigheachd agad. Agus mura h-eil thu cho eòlach - uill, cha leig mi leas sin a mhìneachadh.

But customer service is especially integral to GoDaddy. Remember, GoDaddy has over 17 MILLION customers to support.

So whereas most of the big hosts have a few hundred customer service representatives on the high side, GoDaddy has THOUSANDS.

Agus tha GOT aca a bhith math, ceart? Leis gu bheil iad a ’toirt taic do dhaoine SO MANY?

Tha mi a ’ciallachadh, FEUMAIDH seo:

Okay, let’s slow down. The truth is, GoDaddy’s customer support isn’t bad, but we can’t just assume it’s great. My experience has been more nuanced.

Feuch an leig mi leinn tòiseachadh le rudeigin a tha, mise airson aon, HATE:

I understand why GoDaddy and other companies employ these digital assistant/AI chats. They’re cost-effective and can sometimes get the job done.

But as a hosting customer, I already know that GoDaddy is HUGE, and I’m already concerned it won’t spare any more resources on me, beyond a bare minimum.

Mar sin nuair a chì mi an còmhradh AI seo a ’putadh orm mar a’ chiad loidhne taic agam, cha toil leam e.

Agus, chan eil e ach beagan èifeachdach. Is e bàr rannsachaidh a th ’ann, gu bunaiteach, a dh’ fhaodadh a bhith feumail aig amannan, ach tha e a ’faireachdainn nas coltaiche gu bheil e airson taisbeanadh na droch inneal.

But, the good news is that GoDaddy does have plenty of representatives available for contact. In fact, check this out:

Chan eil mi a ’smaoineachadh gu bheil uimhir de thaic cruinneil aig companaidh aoigheachd sam bith eile.

Now, I can’t attest to the quality of GoDaddy’s phone support in other countries, but in the United States, my experience has been really good.

There is a little bit of waiting involved, but it’s not too bad. Reps were nice and best of all, helpful, so I give GoDaddy props for keeping the representatives quality (at least in the United States).

Gu dearbh, chan urrainn dhut a bhith an urra ri taic fòn a-mhàin. Aig amannan bheir taic fòn cus ùine, no dh ’fhaodadh nach eil thu ann an àrainneachd math airson a bhith a’ bruidhinn a-mach.

So that’s why GoDaddy, like everyone else, has a live chat. It’s decent.

Ach uaireannan, bidh seo a ’tachairt:

Mar sin tha sin mì-fhortanach, ach tha mi creidsinn aig a ’cheann thall nach eil e na iongnadh.

Is e an fhìrinn nach eil e neo-chumanta gum bi an còmhradh beò ro thrang. Chan e tachartas làitheil a th ’ann, ach bidh e a’ tachairt tric gu leòr nach bithinn a ’gairm a’ chat beò earbsach.

Ma gheibh thu air còmhradh beò, tha an càileachd math. Gheibh thu freagairt sgiobalta do cheist sgiobalta, chan eil dad sònraichte, ach gu cinnteach riatanach.

Ach hey! Ma tha fìor chùis agad nach eil freagarrach airson cabadaich bheò, no mura h-urrainn dhut faighinn air a ’chat beò, co-dhiù tha roghainn eile ann:

Nope, dìreach kidding. Is e an dàrna cuid an còmhradh a tha gu tric trang no am fòn.

Co-dhiù tha an taic fòn math.

To its credit, GoDaddy compensates for these deficiencies by having great onsite resources and information.

Seo deagh eisimpleir:

This is GoDaddy’s Taic Center.

Tha an Ionad Taic sa mhòr-chuid air a dhèanamh suas de “stiùiridhean,” a tha nan artaigilean gu math mionaideach, làn de mheadhanan a tha MÒR airson daoine gun eòlas.

Bheir fo-thoradh brabhsaidh thu chun stuth nas practaigeach, an stuth a chuireas aghaidh air na Ceistean Cumanta agad.

Cho luath ‘s a lorgas tu roinn-seòrsa airson sgrùdadh, thèid sealltainn dhut dòrlach de fho-roinnean anns a bheil na h-artaigilean aca fhèin.

Agus tha gach artaigil gu math soilleir agus mionaideach gu leòr.

Ach, chan e brobhsadh Ionad Taic an aon ghoireas feumail.

Tha seo fìor mhath dha daoine as fheàrr leotha clasaichean oideachaidh ceum air cheum:

Tha tunna de chlasaichean bhidio air an duilleag ciamar a nì thu iad, a tha air an deagh dhèanamh leis an àireamh dhiubh.

There’s another major and UNDERRATED resource on GoDaddy:

GoDaddy's duilleag coimhearsnachd tha tunna de fhòraman anns a bheil tòrr com-pàirt coimhearsnachd.

Seo carson a tha e feumail:

It taps into GoDaddy’s MASSIVE customer base. Even if the vast majority of customers never post on the forums, you’re still left with THOUSANDS of people who do.

The result is that, even if GoDaddy’s community page isn’t my favorite forum/community page in terms of layout or organization, it’s simply one of the BEST because it’s so used.

Tha seo a ’dèanamh cùisean iom-fhillte:

GoDaddy has GREAT on-site resources and information, but it’s mediocre or sub-par for contacting customer service representatives.

Air an aon làimh: tha fiosrachadh gu leòr ri fhaighinn, tha e furasta a lorg agus furasta a chleachdadh.

Air an làimh eile: eadhon ged a tha taic fòn math anns na Stàitean Aonaichte, bidh còmhraidhean beò gu tric trang agus chan eil taic post-d ann.

My conclusion is that GoDaddy has overall GOOD customer support, but it’s LIMITED, an important distinction.

A-nis, tha aon fhactar mu dheireadh againn ri choimhead. Is e seo am fear a bu chòir, an dòchas, casg a chuir air grunn ghlaodhan seirbheis teachdaiche nuair a thèid a dhèanamh ceart:

Godaddy: tèarainteachd

Security is essential, for so many reasons. Given that it supports so many customers, you might think GoDaddy HAS to be pretty secure.

Plus, GoDaddy even owns one of the most respected security companies, Sucuri, mar sin shaoileadh tu gu bheil tèarainteachd air leth aige.

Uill,… chan e dealbh cho rosach a th ’ann, a chàirdean. Tòisichidh mi le seo…

Because this is what GoDaddy is INFAMOUS for:

A ’feuchainn ri do reic AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Look, to an extent, it’s perfectly understandable. GoDaddy is a huge company with a lot of products, so naturally, it’ll have spin-off security packages. The key here:

"GU TÒRR. ” Oir aig deireadh an latha, bu chòir dhut a bhith comasach air cunntadh air tèarainteachd mhòr, ge bith dè a ’phacaid agad, ma tha thu ag obair le aoigh càileachd.

But this is the unfortunate truth about GoDaddy:

Tha an tèarainteachd gu ìre mhòr neo-aithnichte. Chan eil fios againn cho mòr.

Tha cuid de na tha fios againn ceart gu leòr. Mar eisimpleir:

14 ionad dàta sgapte air feadh an t-saoghail - tha sin gu math cruaidh, agus na bhuannachd airson a bhith a ’gabhail aoigheachd mhòr as urrainn tasgadh a dhèanamh ann an grunn ionadan dàta.

Agus tha an rud eile seo fìor mhath:

(...)

Oh. Yeah. That’s it. At least, that’s all GoDaddy has on its site, which is where public information SHOULD be.

Now, I’m not going to accuse GoDaddy of not having ANY security:

Obviously, GoDaddy has to have some in place, and we can probably assume it’s decent enough, or the company couldn’t have become the most popular hosting company and the domain registrar.

Ach airson cuid de dhaoine, cha bhith sin “ga ghabhail air creideamh” gu leòr, agus chan eil mi gan coire.

True, various GoDaddy plans have this or that security feature, but even those are minimal beyond “SSL included.”

Mar sin gu cinnteach, tha seo SOUNDS sgoinneil:

But I’ll have to see more info before I praise GoDaddy’s security.

My verdict on GoDaddy’s security: if you’re willing to trust GoDaddy, then Siuthad. Ach ma tha tèarainteachd SUPER cudromach dhut, dìreach leum air prionnsapal.

Ouch. Tha sin a ’faireachdainn gu math cruaidh. Nach aotromaich sinn am faireachdainn:

nithean matha

For all its flaws, GoDaddy hasn’t gotten to its popularity without doing some things right. Here they are:

• Prìsean air aoigheachd lìn co-roinnte planaichean is generally cheaper, both for the first term and overall. GoDaddy is a particularly decent option for those who want to quickly host a site for cheap.
• GoDaddy’s frequent promotions can make its entry tier one of the cheapest hosting plans around.
• GoDaddy’s performance is really good even on the more basic plans.
• GoDaddy has many different hosting plans, from shared to dedicated options, and most of them have Linux/Windows options.
• GoDaddy is beginner-friendly.
• GoDaddy has great phone support in the United States, and great on-site information and guides. Particularly, the community forum is uniquely robust.

If you came here just to see GoDaddy get bashed, knock yourself out:

• Features and resources are sub-par for some of the plans, though not all, and especially compared to GoDaddy’s competitors.
• GoDaddy has A LOT of upsells.
• Even aside from the upsells, some people (like me) get very annoyed navigating GoDaddy’s user portal and pages.
• A lot of GoDaddy’s more premium hosting plans STILL have big price jumps. The worst is the dedicated servers, which almost double in price after the first year.
• GoDaddy’s live chat can often be busy, and there is no email support—so phone support is the only reliable option for contacting customer service.
• GoDaddy says almost nothing about its hosting security.

Do I Recommend GoDaddy?

Tha mi air tòrr measaidh a dhèanamh, agus mu dheireadh tha an t-àm Breithneachaidh ann.

GoDaddy has a lot of bad and a lot of good. How it stacks up mostly depends on what your hosting needs are.

A dh ’aindeoin sin, tha rud no dhà a bu chòir dhomh a dhèanamh soilleir:

First, even if you’re looking for AFFORDABLE hosting, GoDaddy isn’t necessarily the best option. Some hosts have worse performance, and coltach or slightly higher prices, and way more features/resources.

Or at least, they make up for a lot of GoDaddy’s flaws.

There isn’t anything I’d say GoDaddy is the BEST in—even ease of use. It might have the LOWEST prices, which is good for some, but it doesn’t have the BEST prices.

Here’s who GoDaddy is best suited for:

Daoine a tha nas ùire airson aoigheachd, daoine a tha air buidseat, agus daoine a tha dìreach a ’feumachdainn fuasgladh luath, aig prìs reusanta.

Another point is that GoDaddy is GREAT for people who need hosting for a short amount of time—a year of hosting with GoDaddy will perform well and be super cheap.

But if you want to use GoDaddy for a longer period of time, that’s not a bad idea. The thing about GoDaddy is that it’s ultimately okay in most areas. It’s not horrible at all.

But because it’s not the best in any single area either, GoDaddy is best for those who need that unique combination of low prices, good performance, good user-friendliness, and decent “everything else.”

Mura h-eil thu cinnteach, is e an dòigh as fheàrr air rudan a rèiteach feuchainn orra! Faodaidh tu ath-dhìoladh iarraidh taobh a-staigh 30 latha mura h-eil plana bliadhna a ’còrdadh riut, no taobh a-staigh 48 uairean mura h-eil thu a’ còrdadh ris a ’phlana mhìosail agad.

Happy aoigheachd!
