Go Daddy negative review #2615 by Tilen (tilenn@y...) on Jun 2008
Go Daddy got a negative review on
Tilen ( tilenn@y... )
STAY AWAY!
I've been with godaddy fro about 2 months and my experience isn't good. From such a big company i expected much more.
Biggest downsides =
1. very confusing / difficult control panel
2. poor features (1×100MB email account)
3. too comercialized
When you log into your account, you're still on there main website with all the stuff they are trying to sell you, you'll need time to figure out, where you can access your account features and where they are just trying to sell you crappy features that you don't need or that should already be included.
It takes several clicks to get to the control panel. They only allow you 1 free email account (100MB) then you got to pay for more - forget you already bought the bandwith and your own domain, so you SHOULD be able to use these for unlimited emails (as in all other normal hosts).
If you want to check your website stats you have to log in again, with a different username/password (oh, you have to have a CAPS letter and a number in password)... Customer service is nothing special - 12-24 hours reply time to an open ticket is nothing to brag about.
Bottom line: i am sure they have many satisfied customers, but you will need hours and hours to get a grip with their control panel and depends on what you need, may end up spending much more money on upgraded features.
I've been with servage.net before and am now with hostgator.com - both are much better.
