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

Kudala, ndiseyindoda encinci. Ndigqibe kwelokuba ndithabathe inyathelo elikhulu: akusayi kubakho zakha iwebhusayithi yasimahla kum, hayi mnumzana ... eyona nto iyinyaniso:

Umgcini wewebhu we-PAID. Inye enokundivumela ukuba ndakhe iwebhusayithi ye-REAL.

So I went to GoDaddy. Why?

Because GoDaddy had EVERYTHING. It had a umakhi wewebhusayithi, a domain name, and the hosting ALL for (at the time) about a DOLLAR a month. INCREDIBLE!

Ndavuya kakhulu. Ndakhe i isayithi. Bendonwabile…

Kangangonyaka.

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.

Kodwa, awungekhe ube mkhulu kangako ngaphandle kwengxaki. Ngokobungakanani, usenokuba kukujolisa.

Kwaye inkulu kangangokuba yenza okuncinci KUYO YONKE:

Kwaye kuyadanisa ukuzama ukuthengisa kancinci ngento yonke.

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

Kuyinto edumileyo ngokuba ilahlekisayo, ukuba ne-upselling eninzi kakhulu, kwaye ukuba nkulu kakhulu ukuba ungabakhathaleli abathengi bayo, phakathi kwezinye izinto.

Kodwa ngaba kuyothusa ngokwenene? Okanye ngaba inetyala nje ngento yonke imikhosi enetyala?

Ngaba kukujolisa ngokulula ngenxa yobukhulu bayo?

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.

Ungajonga inqaku lexesha elichaziweyo Apha.

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

Kodwa into malunga nala manqaku, mhle. Kuyinyani, asithethi NGOKUGQIBELA ...

Kodwa ngaphezulu kwenyanga ezisi-8, amanqaku e-WORST ayengama-99.97%, eguqula malunga nemizuzu eli-12 yokuphumla ngaphezulu kwenyanga. Ayilunganga ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa ingcono kakhulu kuneenkampani ezininzi ezizimbangi.

Ngaphezu koko, i-99.99% ixesha elingaphezulu okanye elingaphezulu beliyimeko ye-6 yeenyanga ezisi-8, KANYE namaxesha okuphendula ayekwicala elingaphantsi.

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

Ukusebenziseka ngokulula kunye namava oMsebenzisi

Owu, ngaba ndiyonakalisile?

Well…GoDaddy is easy to use.

Kwaye ayimangalisi loo nto, kuba ukuba ngokuqinisekileyo yenye yeenkampani ezinkulu zokubamba ezijikeleze, kwaye eso sixa sobukhulu sihlala sibonisa ubuncinci bokusebenziseka.

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.

Kuvakala ngathi kukho isigidi amaphepha ahlukeneyo ayo yonke into. Kwaye, kukho okuninzi kakhulu kokunyuselwa. Thatha lo mzekelo:

Please understand that I have a LOT of products with GoDaddy, most of them kwimimandla. Xa ndisiya "kwiAkhawunti yam," le yinto endiyibona njenge "likhaya."

Ndibona i-UPSELL yeIMODI zeemveliso ezininzi endinazo kuba ulingo lwamahala luphelelwe lixesha.

Ke KULULA kakhulu ukuhamba nokujikeleza, kodwa kuyacaphukisa, kananjalo.

Ndizulazula ukuya “kwiiMveliso zam” ukuze ndibone zonke izinto endinazo kwaye nditshixe iimenyu ezininzi zokuyeka ukubona inyani kwiimveliso zam zokusingathwa kwewebhu.

Emva koko, ndingacofa "ukuphatha konke" ukufikelela kwiphepha elIHLUKILEYO elindenza ndibone iimveliso zam ezahlukeneyo zokubamba. Ngamaxabiso aphezulu.

Okanye, ndingacofa nje "ukuphatha" indawo ethile endiyifunayo, kwaye uthathe oku:

Yintoni ekuvumela ukuba ekugqibeleni uthathe uyiswe kwiphepha apho unokujonga ngokuthe ngqo ukusetwa kwakho kwebamba yendawo.

Kwaye ONOKUYAGQIBELA ukuya kwi-CPanel yakho ngokunqakraza eli qhosha liphezulu lasekunene:

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.

Ke, ewe, ujongano lungadinisa kwaye lusasazeke kakhulu, kodwa AKUKHO nzima.

Ukuba "iindlela zokuhlawula" aziyichazi ngokwaneleyo, kukho inkcazo encinci phantsi kukhetho lokukwazisa ukuba uza kungena ngantoni.

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 kulula ukuyisebenzisa.

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

Amaxabiso kunye neempawu

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

Uyakufumanisa ukuba kutheni singena kuyo, ke ndizakutsiba ngaphakathi ndiqale nge Izicwangciso zokubamba ezabelwana ngazo. 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 izicwangciso ekwabelwana ngazo Qalisa malunga ne- $ 3 ngenyanga- linda nje. Izakuya kwi- $ 1 kwakhona kungekudala.

Ngapha koko, BONKE, eli xabiso liphakathi kwexabiso eliphantsi kakhulu kwi-web host world, ubuncinci kunyaka wokuqala. Kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, kubiza ngakumbi ngexabiso elikhethekileyo izaphulelo.

Kwaye, imirhumo yokuhlaziya i-AREN'T embi xa ithelekiswa nabanye endibabonileyo.

Isiphumo soko kukuba ezi zicwangciso, kwisikimu sezinto, kwicala elifanelekileyo nokuba uthatha uhlaziyo lukhona.

Yonke enye into iyimilinganiselo esemgangathweni. Uqala ngewebhusayithi enye, i-bandwidth engafakwanga, i-imeyile, isizinda, kunye ne-100 GB yokugcina.

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

I-imeyile yeshishini sisilingo seenyanga ezintathu kuphela. Isizinda? Kusimahla sonyaka wokuqala kwaye ke ngokuhlaziya ngexabiso lakhe lwangoku.

Ukugcina kulungile. Kwiphepha, ayisiyonto imnandi kangako, xa kuthelekiswa nezicwangciso ezininzi ekwabelwana ngazo eziQalile ngokugcinwa “okungenamkhawulo” okanye ugcino lwe-SSD oluninzi.

Kodwa nantsi inyani:

Ukuba usebenza nezicwangciso zokubamba zewebhu ezingabizi kakhulu, unikezela ngamandla ukuze ufikelele kwaye ufikeleleke. Ke i-100GB ilungile ngokupheleleyo, kwaye nakweyiphi na imeko, yonke i-tier kamva ine-"unlimited" yokugcina.

Ngapha koko, amahlosi aphezulu afumana iisayithi ezingenamda, ii-subdomides ezingenamkhawulo, i-SSL (ngamanye amaxesha), kunye nokunyuka kwamandla ngokubanzi.

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.

Lilonke, oku kulungile, ngaphandle:

"Uqoqosho" mhlawumbi alulutho, nokuba ufuna isisombululo sohlahlo-lwabiwo mali.

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.

Ndihlaziye ngokupheleleyo Godaddyezinye iiplani ukuze ukuba olo lwazi ungafuni ukufunda ungaleqa ngokunqakraza Apha.

Nalu udidi lwesibini lonxibelelwano lwewebhusayithi, enye iseti yezicwangciso zokubamba ezabiweyo:

Oku kuyalawulwa Ukusingathwa kweWindowsPress. Ukulawulwa kule meko kuthetha, ewe, ukuba uninzi lwezinto zithathelwa ingqalelo. Udinga nje ukusebenzisa i-WordPress ukuseta indawo yakho. Easy-peasy.

Amaxabiso mhle kakhulu-uninzi lwepropathi ephethwe yi-WordPress endiyibonayo ibiza kakhulu kunyaka wokuqala malunga nexabiso elifanayo ekuvuseleleni.

Kuyinyani ukuba unqumama kwezinye iindlela-i-10GB yendawo intle kakhulu ukuba ingagcinwa, nokuba ngaba yi-SSD.

Nantsi into ephelelwe lixesha:

GoDaddy has overage fees.

Oku kwahlukile ekubeni 'ne-bandwidth engacocekanga.' Ngoku, umahluko awukho mkhulu njengoko ubuya kucinga kumaseva abelanayo (bona i-FAQ apha ezantsi ngolwazi oluthe kratya), kodwa isiphumo kukuba uhlawula imirhumo eyongeziweyo ukuba ufikelela kumlinganiselo othile wabatyeleli.

Ngaphandle koko, izinto ziwumgangatho omde. Imirhumo yokudlula iyoluncanca kuninzi lwabantu, kodwa kwizibane ezisezantsi, oko akunakulunga kangako. Isitoreji sisezantsi kakhulu, kodwa ukuba uyazi ukuba wenza ntoni kwisiza esisiseko, akunamsebenzi.

Izicwangciso ze-WordPress ezilawulwayo ziyafana ngokuhambelana nokubamba okuqhelekileyo okwabiweyo:

Isidima. Amaxabiso asezantsi, kunye neempawu ze-mediocre eziza kwenza umsebenzi wenziwe.

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

Oku "kusingathwa kwewebhu kwishishini" kwaye yahlukile kancinci. Kuyafana nase wabelana ngokubamba, 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.

Le ngongoma ibalulekileyo kwaye yenza ukusingathwa kweshishini kufanelekile ukuba kuthathelwe ingqalelo.

Kwenza ukuba amaxabiso athelekiswe ngokuchanekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, ndinemicimbi ethile kunye nezixhobo ezabiweyo. Nasi isizathu:

Nokuba ufumana isithembiso sokuthembakala kwaye isiqinisekiso __ isixa sezixhobo ziya kubakho kwindawo yakho, ezinye zezi ziphantsi kancinci ngexabiso.

I-60GB yokugcina "iziza ezisisiseko" kwi $ 30.00 ngenyanga (emva konyaka wokuqala)? Ezinye zezicwangciso kunokuba bhetele kwishishini lakho, kodwa ndiyathandabuza. Nantsi inyani yokunyaniseka:

Unokufumana ezinye iiphakeji zokubamba ezikumgangatho ophezulu ngamaxabiso afanayo kunye neminye inginginya. Ngamanye amaxesha ezi nokuba zingaphezulu kokubamba okwabelwana ngazo ngaphezulu, kodwa oko kungenjalo.

Nokuba kwenzeka ntoni, unokufumana amaxabiso afanayo kunye ne-specs engcono, izixhobo, kunye noluhlu olude lweempawu.

Kwelinye icala, ukubhenela kwezi zicwangciso zokusingathwa kwamashishini kukuba zidibanisa lula ukusetyenziswa kwamandla.

Kwaye kwakhona, ISITHEMBISO ungafumana imithombo yolwazi isicwangciso esichazayo yinto enkulu. Ke ndizakushiya ezi zicwangciso “zilungile,” kodwa into ekufuneka zilumkisiwe.

Sukubagxotha, kodwa phanda ukuba ngaba ezinye iinkampani zingaxhasa ishishini lakho ngokufanayo.

Ukuba ujonge kwitshathi endikubonise yona, uyazi ukuba sinolunye uhlobo lokubamba oluza kuza. Oko kungangumncedisi wangasese wabucala (VPS) wokubamba:

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 unika Zombini izicwangciso zeLinux (ngasentla) kunye nezicwangciso zeWindows:

Ewe kunjalo, ngaba ufuna okanye ungasidingi iWindows okanye iiseva zeLinux zikuwe, kodwa ndicinga ukuba zombini zinamaxabiso afanelekileyo. Kwaye ayiqhelekanga into yokuba iiseva zeWindows zibize kakhulu.

Kodwa kukho into ENDINGAYithandi ngokwenene:

Ezinye zezi ntlawulo zokuhlaziya zibonakala zingeyomfuneko kwaphela. Ndiza kuvuma ukuba iiplani zeVPS zizinto nje zokhetho ngokubanzi, kodwa ndifumana ixabiso lithe kraca.

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.

Ithathiwe kunye, nantsi le meko:

Izicwangciso ze-VPS zi-DECENT. Kunyaka wokuqala, zintle ngileyo, 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.

Ngapha koko, nantsi into yethu yokugqibela:

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:

Ngoku, ukuba ubujonge ngenyameko, inokuba ubonile into.

Into UGLY:

Iiseva ze-Linux ezinikezelweyo zivuselela phantse kwi-TWICE ixabiso lokuthenga lokuqala. Iiseva zeWindows azilunganga.

Ngoku, jonga, NDIYAZI! Iiseva ezinikezelweyo zihlala zisesona sicwangciso sibalaseleyo!

Kodwa:

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

Kodwa kuyo yonke inzondo yam, kuninzi okuhle, nako. Ngenxa yala maxabiso onyaka wokuqala?

BAKHULU. Baqala ngokuthoba, bethathela ingqalelo into oyifumanayo. Oku kuya kwinqanaba lokuba ukuba ubambelele kwiseva ezinikezele iminyaka emibini, usenokuba ufumana isivumelwano esihle.

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

Kodwa uthotho lwe-Xeon E3 luseyinkqubo ekuzanywa ngayo kwaye iyinyani. Eminye imikhosi ibonelela ngeemodeli zamvanje, kodwa ayinguye wonke umntu odinga oko, kwaye uludwe lwe-E3 lusahleli lubambelele kumnatha ozinikeleyo cwangciso Nantoni na.

Eyona nto ndiyithandayo zezi zixhobo:

Amanqanaba okungena-kwinqanaba eza kunye ne-4 cores kwi-3.1GHz, 4GB ye-RAM, kunye ne-1TB yokugcina. Xa usonyusa, ungafumana i-RAM eninzi kunye nokugcinwa okungaphezulu, kodwa okuseleyo akutshintshi.

O, malunga nokugcinwa… ewe, yi-RAID-1, ayisi-RAID-10 (ekhuseleke ngakumbi). Nangona kunjalo, oko kundikhokelela kwenye inqaku elingelilo…

IXESHA lezicwangciso ezinikezelweyo zeseva ineRAID-10. I-RAID-10 yongeza umaleko wokusebenza, amandla, kunye nokhuseleko, kwaye iba yinto eqhelekileyo kakhulu nakwezinye iinginginya.

YAYE, awukwazi kufumana amanye ama-cores-kodwa inyani yokuba uqala nge-4 ilungile.

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 iinketho.

Ke, masisonge amaxabiso kunye neempawu, abantu. Yintoni ubuchopho, kwakhona?

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

Kodwa inyani elula kukuba asiyidingi sonke "IXESHA!".

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: Uxhaso lwabathengi

Inkxaso yomthengi yinto enkulu. Kuyinto enkulu kuzo zonke iinkampani zokubamba, ngenxa yobume benkonzo leyo-iimpazamo ziyenzeka, kuvela iingxaki, iingxaki zokhuseleko zifuna ukusonjululwa, njl njl.

Ke nokuba ungumsebenzisi ohambele phambili, uya kufuna inkonzo entle yabathengi-kuba inkonzo enkulu yabathengi inokukunceda wenze okuninzi ngesicwangciso sokubamba kwakho. Kwaye ukuba awunamava-kakuhle, akukho mfuneko yokuba ndichaze oko.

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.

Kwaye kufanelekile, kulungile? Kuba bayabaxhasa abantu abaninzi?

Ndiyathetha, KHANGELA oku:

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.

Nceda undivumele siqale ngento ethile, mna, INDLELA YAKHO:

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.

Ke xa ndibona le ncoko ye-AI ityhilikiswa kum njengomtya wokuqala wenkxaso, andiyithandi.

Kwaye, isebenza ngempumelelo kuphela. Ibha yokukhangela, ngokusisiseko, enokuthi ngamanye amaxesha ibe luncedo, kodwa ivakalelwa ngathi yeyomboniso kunesixhobo esibi.

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

Andiqondi ukuba nayiphi na enye inkampani yokubamba inenkxaso engaka yehlabathi.

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).

Ewe kunjalo, awunakuxhomekeka kwinkxaso yefowuni kuphela. Inkxaso yefowuni ngamanye amaxesha inokuchitha ixesha elininzi, okanye unokungabikho kwimeko elungileyo yokuthetha ngokuvakalayo.

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

Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha, oku kuyenzeka:

Ke loo nto ngelishwa, kodwa ndiyaqonda ukuba ekugqibeleni ayimangalisi.

Inyani kukuba akuqhelekanga ukuba ingxoxo ephilayo ibexakeke kakhulu. Ayisiyonto yemihla ngemihla, kodwa yenzeka kaninzi ngokwaneleyo ukuba andizukubiza incoko bukhoma.

Ukuba NGOKU uyangena kwincoko ebukhoma, umgangatho uqinisekile. Uya kufumana impendulo ekhawulezayo kumbuzo okhawulezayo, akukho nto ikhethekileyo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iyimfuneko.

Kodwa, yhe! Ukuba unengxaki enkulu engalungelanga incoko ebukhoma, okanye ukuba awukwazi ukungena kwincoko ephilayo, ubuncinci kukho enye indlela:

Hayi, ndiyadlala. Yinto yengxoxo ehlala ixakekile okanye ifowuni.

Ubuncinci inkxaso yefowuni ilungile.

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

Nanku umzekelo olungileyo:

This is GoDaddy’s Umbindi Woncedo.

IZiko loNcedo lakhiwa ubukhulu becala "izikhokelo," ezineenkcukacha ezintle, amanqaku anobutyebi bemithombo yeendaba AKUKHULU kwabangenamava.

Ukubrawuza imveliso kuya kukusa kwizinto ezisebenzayo, izinto eziya kuqwalasela ii-FAQs zakho.

Nje ukuba ufumana udidi lokuphonononga, uya kuboniswa yingqokelela yecandelo ngalinye elinamanqaku alo.

Kwaye inqaku ngalinye licacile kwaye linolwazi olwaneleyo.

Nangona kunjalo, ukukhangela iZiko loNcedo akuyiyo kuphela izixhobo eziluncedo.

Kubantu abakhetha inyathelo ngenyathelo ngalinye, oku kuhle:

Iphepha-le-ukuba libe njani ne-toni ye tutorials zevidiyo, ezenziwe kakuhle zanikwa inani lazo.

There’s another major and UNDERRATED resource on GoDaddy:

GoDaddy's iphepha loluntu inethoni yeeforamu ezibandakanya ukubandakanyeka koluntu oluninzi.

Nasi isizathu sokuba iluncedo:

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.

Oku kwenza izinto zibe nzima:

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

Ngakolunye uhlangothi: kukho ulwazi oluninzi olufumanekayo, kulula ukuyifumana kwaye kulula ukuyisebenzisa.

Kwelinye icala: nokuba inkxaso yefowuni ilungile eMelika, iingxoxo ezenziwa ngokuhlala zihlala zixakekile kwaye akukho nkxaso ye-imeyile.

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

Godaddy:Ukhuseleko

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, ngoko unokucinga ukuba inokhuseleko oluhle.

Ewe, ... ayingomfanekiso mhle, zihlobo. Ndiza kuqala ngale nto…

Because this is what GoDaddy is INFAMOUS for:

Ukuzama ukuthengisa kuwe NGOKUPHELELE NGOKUFANELEKILEYO.

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:

"UKUYA KUPHELA. ” Kuba ekupheleni kosuku, kuya kufuneka ukwazi ukubala kukhuseleko olukhulu, akunakuthelekiswa iphakheji yakho, ukuba usebenza nomsingathi osemgangathweni.

But this is the unfortunate truth about GoDaddy:

Ukhuseleko ubukhulu becala luyinto engaziwayo. Asazi kangako.

Ezinye zezinto esizaziyo zichanekile. Umzekelo:

Amaziko eenkcukacha ayi-14 asasazeke kwihlabathi liphela-ayomelele kakhulu, kwaye yindawo yokuthatha umnini-mzi omkhulu onokutyala imali kumaziko edatha amaninzi.

Kwaye enye into inkulu:

(...)

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.

Kodwa kwabanye abantu, "ukuyithatha ukholo" akunakulunga, kwaye andibabeki tyala.

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

Ngokuqinisekileyo, le SONDS enkulu:

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 qhubeka. Kodwa ukuba ukhuseleko lubALULEKILE kuwe, tsiba umgaqo.

Ouch. Kuyavakala ukuba krwada. Masithobe imood:

eziluncedo

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

• Amaxabiso ekusingathweni okwabelwana ngawo ngewebhu cwangciso 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.

neengozi

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?

Ndenze uvavanyo oluninzi, kwaye ilixesha lokuJUDWA.

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

Emva kokuba utshilo, kukho izinto ezimbalwa endifanele ndizenze zicace:

First, even if you’re looking for AFFORDABLE hosting, GoDaddy isn’t necessarily the best option. Some hosts have worse performance, and fanayo 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:

Abantu abasebatsha ekuzamkeleni, abantu abakwabhajethi, nabantu abafuna nje isisombululo esikhawulezayo, esinexabiso eliphantsi.

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.”
