📄 Editorial Review
GoDaddy.com stands as the largest domain name registrar in the world, with over 81 million domains under management and a strong global presence in the web hosting and internet services market. Founded in 1997 by Bob Parsons, GoDaddy has grown from a simple registrar to a comprehensive solutions provider, helping more than 20 million entrepreneurs build and manage their online presence.The company’s services cover everything from domain registration and web hosting (shared, VPS, WordPress, and dedicated) to SSL certificates, email hosting, eCommerce solutions, marketing tools, and its own AI assistant, Airo. GoDaddy targets users ranging from beginners to small business owners, positioning itself as an all-in-one platform for building and scaling websites.
Its wide product suite is matched with localization efforts—custom subdomains and support for multiple languages allow GoDaddy to maintain strong engagement in markets like India, Germany, and Indonesia, in addition to North America and Europe.
However, while the company is popular and easy to use, some services feel basic unless upgraded to higher-tier plans. Key add-ons like malware protection, SEO tools, and backup options often come with extra fees. Despite this, GoDaddy’s brand recognition, ecosystem, and beginner-friendly tools continue to make it a top pick for those entering the online world.
As of 2025, GoDaddy has streamlined its hosting offerings significantly, moving away from legacy services to focus on more flexible and scalable solutions. Several traditional hosting products have reached end-of-life status, marking a notable shift in the company's long-term strategy.
Windows Shared Hosting: Retired
Although some support articles and outdated mentions still linger on the website, GoDaddy has officially discontinued Windows-based Shared Hosting. Customers seeking Windows environments are now directed toward Windows VPS Hosting, which offers full control, dedicated resources, and compatibility with Plesk for easier management. This change is aimed at users who need specific Windows-based frameworks or applications but require more robust performance than shared hosting can offer.
Dedicated Servers and Reseller Hosting: Phased Out
GoDaddy has also retired Dedicated Servers and Reseller Hosting. These products are no longer available for new purchases and are being gradually phased out. Customers on legacy dedicated hardware are being migrated, when possible, to modern VPS Hosting solutions, which match or exceed the performance (CPU, RAM, and storage) of traditional dedicated setups. The migration also introduces regional flexibility, with VPS plans now available across data centers in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Reseller hosting, once a core product for web agencies and hosting entrepreneurs, has also been deprecated, with GoDaddy choosing to focus on direct hosting solutions and managed services instead.
Cloud Hosting: Discontinued
Previously offered cloud hosting plans have been sunset as well. Existing customers on cloud infrastructure are now covered by high-performance shared hosting plans, which use advanced caching, load balancing, and scalable resources to mimic the benefits of cloud platforms in a simplified format. This evolution reflects GoDaddy's intention to reduce complexity while still delivering speed and reliability to modern websites.

😠 The whole incident illustrated:
1. How poor at communication your team is.
2. How broken your backend systems are
Your system clearly showed a domain as available for registration, so I attempted to do so. For over 24 hours it sat in processing - despite having successfully billed my credit card. I reached out trying to get clarification, and got no response.
The registration then was canceled, but without any explanation or contact from you. Not knowing why, I simply registered again. This second registration was then canceled. I finally was able to get in contact with someone, but they seemed more concerned with explaining why this happened than empathizing with how poor of a customer experience this is.
I understand that you cannot sell a domain that is not available. I get that. But, what I do NOT get is why your system seems to not have any idea what domains are available or not. This leaves me with zero confidence that even something as simple as renewing my existing domains will not fail for inexplicable reasons.
What I also don't understand is why your support staff is unable to communicate in both a timely and effective fashion. A canceled registration should have been accompanied by an explanation. In this case I already had an open support ticket with you for 24+ hours by this point - you could have responded to that? Then, when I finally was able to get a customer "service" person on a chat, he seemed to not realize just how horrible of a user experience this whole system was. I do not have these problems with other registrars that I use, and I've owned MANY domain names over the past two decades - so it's not like I'm inexperienced in registering domains.
I will be transferring my domains away from you over the next 12 months in direct response to this CSR’s poor communication skills.
