GoDaddy’s Linux-based Shared Web Hosting offers a comprehensive set of features designed for personal websites, blogs, and small businesses, all backed by a globally distributed infrastructure. Customers benefit from multiple global data center locations in North America and Europe, which enhance page load times and improve the overall user experience.

The service includes daily automatic backups, allowing users to restore their hosting account to a previous day if necessary. Security is also a core component, with round-the-clock network protection and DDoS mitigation built in. A free SSL certificate is included, reinforcing data security and trust for website visitors.

GoDaddy ensures 99.9% uptime, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Plans also come with unmetered bandwidth, meaning customers don’t need to worry about traffic limits as their business grows.

In terms of performance, GoDaddy highlights up to 2x faster loading speeds, though specific benchmarks may vary by location and usage. Every hosting account supports self-installation of major CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Magento, and Drupal, offering flexibility for various site types.

For projects that require more resources or server-level control, GoDaddy encourages users to explore Web Hosting Plus or VPS plans, which provide dedicated processing and memory resources while retaining ease of use.

GoDaddy’s shared Linux hosting is geared toward entry-level users and small business owners who want a stable, secure, and scalable platform without needing advanced server management skills.

📄 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.

😠 Run!! Find another Hosting company
All I have had is problems with GoDaddy. They recently deleted 7 days worth of transactions on my database and refuse to tell me what happened. I was on the phone last night for 2 1/2 hours to be transferred to a supervisor and then they hung up on me. I have wasted the last 3 full days of my life trying to piece back together everything that they lost and I am still working on it. At every turn, I keep finding more things they screwed up. They even redirected some of the buttons on my website. Why they did not restore from my latest backup (which is daily) after they blew everything away, is beyond me. Talk about an ignorant company. They used to be good back like 5 years ago, and it has been downhill every since.
