Unresponsive line-level staff, arrogant management team, refuses to accept responsibility for their actions - nonchalant about my business. I took my business elsewhere.

I have 30 years in business.
1. Godaddy email reliability (down at least 15-40 minutes PER WEEK) usually down during peak hours 9 - 5 PM
2. Tech support must be mostly a bunch of college students as I know way more than they do.
3. Registering domains is their forte, they should just stick to that.
4. You get what you pay for.

Not happy with this place. Signed up for a two year plan two years ago as a joke to a friend. Was rebilled and only had five days to cancel and get a refund. The first time I called, was not told of any five day windows, so of course, when I call back, am told it's my fault that I didn't call back quick enough and that they get to keep my money. Cool, I'm out $20 for a domain I don't use and will have only used for one week, two years ago. Steer clear of this place. I would recommend my site of choice, www.directnic.com been using them for much longer, should have used them for this one little joke, but figured this would be the easy way out, so wrong!!!

Go Daddy is the world's number 1 ICANN accredited domain name registrar and the largest hosting provider in North America. They provide 24/7,365 HUMAN customer support, which many other domain registrars and hosting providers DO NOT provide. I have looked over the comments and honestly a majority of the concerns people have expressed are USER ERRORS! I have never once had any problems with Go Daddy. They offer GREAT customer support and GREAT inexpensive products.

I have over 50 domain names with GoDaddy. Because of the ease and flexibility of their domain name control panel I have not had to be in effect of other web host providers during major downtime, maintenance, upgrades and server migrations. They say it could take 24 hours, but I find in less than a half hour I can transfer URLS from one server to another where I have back up duplicated sites and bypass the irregularities and frustrations web hosting companies are capable of causing.
There are also many options dealing with your domain names that other providers do not make it that easy to deal with. If you get stuck in your process in 10 minutes or less you can get the help you need on the phone.

Go Daddy is a SCAM! They automatically set you up for a recurring charge and when I had found such an unsolicited charge on my bank statement, I called their customer service dept. The agent could not tell me what it was for, so I had my bank refuse the charge. Then, without warning or explanation, Go Daddy blocked my website because they had the domain, and told me I had to pay a FIFTY DOLLAR ($50!) charge to get the site back!!!! I spoke to Dustin in "Team Magenta" who just defended their policy and offered nothing to me.

I work as a freelance designer (which also means I play pitch-hitter for tech support), and I always have clients that insist on using GoDaddy. My guess is they saw their super bowl ad at some point, and are attracted to the price.
I often try to remind them that you get what you pay for, and GoDaddy is the cheapest guy on the block.
I used them once for myself, and that lasted about 2 months. However, I am forced to use them almost every day for my clients.
Domain parking issues. FTP issues (too many simultaneous connections? Are you kidding me?) Email issues. Oh god, the email issues.
And of course, their stock response: "it's your fault."
I have to say, if you rely on your website or email in any sense, steer 100% clear of Godaddy. Yeah, they're cheap, but what good is a webhost that doesn't work, and won't help you when you have an issue?

I have been hosting with GoDaddy.com for a very long time now and their service in recent months has gone from bad to worse. Recently I have been trying to update software on my server and it has taken them three days and I still can't get them to update my PHP to 5.1. This install takes about 8 minutes to complete and according to them should be completed in less than 24 hours. 72 hours and running now and over 3 hours of long distance calls and I am not one bit closer to having a functional site. I will be moving all my pages from GoDaddy soon!!

I have used Godaddy for years now
without problems.
I have read the reviews above and see that the negative reviews, mostly, could have been solved by using Gmail.com email.
I direct all my email through Gmail. Gmail stores all my mail (I get about 200 daily).
So I can look up any email ever received or sent.
I currently have 41 Domains with GoDaddy and am pleased.
I hope I never have to use their support. But I have had issues with 1and1, Ipower, and others. Very difficult user interfaces.
