"Hassle Free Domain Hosting"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

I love the free e-mail hosting the best. I was able to create a generic Customer Service e-mail so my customers would be able to contact us without it coming to my personal e-mail.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

It isn't very beginner-friendly, as far as the layout goes. However, the service team goes above and beyond.

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

We have had our domain with GoDaddy for a while now with no hiccups or issues.

"Easy Peasy "
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

I like that I know very little about designing a website but their customer service team walked me through each step of getting everything in order for my business. They set me up with what I needed and I have not had any problems.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I purchased a website domain and since it was hosted by another website through go-daddy there were fees associated with moving my domain into a go-daddy only account. That was frustrating because I thought I was just with them! I do wish they would provide more tools to boosting website domains in search engines etc.

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

I am able to host my business website without problems. We can update content easily!

"My GoDaddy Experience"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

GoDaddy.com is a wonderful website application for solving a host of business and personal website hosting issues! I love it! So many features including SSL and WordPress and a great website builder program that makes it super easy to get a site up and running. GoDaddy is very inexpensive as well and they always have great deals for site hosting.. sometimes at $7.99 a month.. in December it was $1 a month with a 12 month agreement. My favorite feature is the ability to use whatever FTP software you wish to use for uploading your custom files. Some other hosting companies force you to use their web-based software only, while GoDaddy gives you the flexibility of using your own FTP client. They also have 24 hour support with very friendly customer support reps. I also really appreciate their support for Microsoft SQL as well as MySQL!

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

The downfall is that a lot of times, their help documentation is out of date and their first tier customer support isn't as technical as I'd like.. but that may be my personal downfall because I consider myself very technical and have higher-than-normal expectations. So, I'll google godaddy help topics and get google results, but then I'll go to the results and they're always for an older version of godaddy pages. Then I'll go to godaddy directly with the search and still get results referring to old versions of godaddy pages. Maybe by now they've fixed that issue.. I haven't had to get technical support in quite a few months.

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

The business problems I've solved are very inexpensive website hosting for my church which doesn't bring in a lot of money. We've been able to create custom pages for special events using their website development software very quickly.

"Great email platform!"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

The low cost for our company to use Go Daddy is very appealing. As a small company we needed a low cost email solution. The other thing that is very useful is the ease of integration into other email platforms that are more user friendly such as Gmail and Outlook. I've integrated to both and it is very convenient.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I dislike that Go Daddy isn't very user friendly so it forces me to integrate with another email platform. This creates a problem as there is a lag time from when I receive an email until when it actually appears in my inbox as it has to go through Go Daddy and then through the platform I'm using (i.e. Outlook).

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

We are keeping our costs for email down which is very helpful! And it's very easy to add new emails as we onboard new employees. As a growing business you want something that's dynamic and Go Daddy is just that.

"Biggest and maybe best domain registrar"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

Everybody knows Godaddy. They are great. Registering domains is easy. You can always find a sale or a deal going on. The have pretty good hosting for your websites as well. I've never had a problem with them ever.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

After the initial deal or promo you have to pay full price which is more money than other registrars but when you take into account the promo price it usually takes a few years before Godaddy is more expensive overall on that domain or site.

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

Hosting websites and registering domain names is made easy with GoDaddy.

"Pretty simple to use and usually fast enough"
What do you like best about GoDaddy?

I like the ease of use and integration with Wordpress. It's very simple to build Wordpress websites on this platform. They make it very easy to set it up with the host so you don't have to do any of the heavy lifting. GoDaddy is trusted and integrates well wit pretty much everything. I also like that you can now more easily change the DNS settings. This used to be a hassle but is fine now. GoDaddy isn't improving as fast as I would like, but they are getting better and better each year, so it is hard to complain much.

What do you dislike about GoDaddy?

I don't like that their backend is sometimes difficult to navigate. Some of the website is modern and newer, while other parts are pretty old. There aren't simple links anywhere either. It sometimes takes at 6-7 clicks to get somewhere and that is too many, in my opinion. It should be more simple to navigate. The website seems too cluttered and busy in places.

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

We use GoDaddy for our hosting and domains. We also use the email forward feature, which comes in handy. Websites are essential to running a business nowadays, so this is a good place to host that. Every company is now going online, so this is definitely the present and the future of commerce.

What I like best is that when a domain needs to be transferred or managed they make it easy. And they actually answer the phone when you call.

All of the up sell stuff. I don’t need it. I’d like a feature that tells them I don’t want to see it.

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