GoDaddy

[snousle]

Finally got all my internet turf consolidated with GoDaddy. My rakko.org domain had been hosted by Best Internet, which was later purchased by Verio, and it's languished there for something like ten years. Their spam filtering sucks, their mail client is glacially slow, I can never figure out how to get my account information, and they aren't exactly quick about answering the phone. Having been a Best customer, I suspect that I got marooned on a little island of legacy neglect. So I was paying twenty bucks a month for what, exactly?

Re-hosting the domain was a nail-biting experience but it's all done now and it works just fine. Yay.

I have to say, GoDaddy has the most FABULOUS customer support I've ever encountered. They're prompt, polite, and knowledgeable, and I'm rarely on the phone for more than five minutes before everything is fixed up. I have no idea how they can afford to do it.

Yeah, I was hosted by Best.com before they were thrice swallowed. Isn't GoDaddy your safe word? :)

I also use godaddy for hosting my email. However I've recently learned that they are up for sale. Makes me wonder what will happen to their great service if they're sold. Sigh...

I take it ednixon.com has moved to GoDaddy, and it sounds as if they are pretty happy.

I have been recommending globat.com for anything sexy, and dreamhost.com for anything else, but I guess I out to make sure that's still valid.

I can get people $50 off the first year at dreamhost btw.

skullbunny used GoDaddy for his web business in Georgia. Working with them to move his clients and shutter his business was simple and painless, and you're right about their phone service folks. They are some of the best I've ever encountered.

Between myself and my clients, I think I've registered something like 40 or 50 domain names at GoDaddy, and probably a dozen websites.

Love their service. Love their uptime. Love their pricing.
