A few years ago I tried a Godaddy hosting account.....2 hours later I asked for a refund. Their admin panel is horrible...beyond horrible.
I used to use them for domains.....but a support supervisor laughed at me one day on the phone and wouldn't tell me his name....I moved all my domains.
Fast forward to today....90% of all the problems we have with customers of our web design is a result of Godaddy. I can install wordpress manually in about 8 minuets, faster yet with a script installer. Migrating a WP install is about the same....5-10 minutes. This latest nightmare has me and another employee at over 4 man hours + about 1 hour on the phone with GD support.....and it's still not running. Last Feb I spent about 10 hours trying to get email for a client to work.....GD's response was it was our settings....I showed the customer the same exact settings working on dozens of sites across two different servers.....
Even when they screw up, they never admit it.....I've had them tell me to "try it now" and suddenly everything is fine but when I ask what they did, the standard answer is "nothing".
I'm done with Godaddy.....I won't work on a Godaddy server ever again after today.
Godaddy is the Thompsons Water Seal of Hosting.....bigger doesn't equal better.
