GoDaddy

[MisterMike]

Has anyone ever tried these guys' hosting plans? Are they reliable? Any popups?

For the same price as the provider I have now, I can get Access,SQL Server or MySQL added, so I was thinking of giving it a shot.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I know several people that use Godaddy and they
are all happy!

I've looked at them. Heard good things about them. However, anyone know how to actually purchase the name, rather than paying annual fees? I'd be interested in purchasing a domain, but not really "leasing" one.

Bob actually recommended them to me. I llike the user-friendly interface and automatic notice system. Also, there is not a lot of spam on it. I bought my Kenpo-Texas.com site there and the association one to whom I belong AKTS.us

We use GoDaddy and have for a few years.. not one problem

I recommend Godaddy for domain names. I don't recommend them for hosting. We lease 1 server through them, and to put it bluntly, I've been less than thrilled. The techs insisted that something we needed done wasn't allowed by Arin (the guys who control IP addresses), despite the fact that it was a-required by most ISPs to accept email, and b-I was doing it at that moment at the other 2 data centers we have servers at.

The general consensus at WebHostingTalk was use them for domains, but get hosting elsewhere.

As to domain names, you can't buy them. Just rent them annually.

OK, thanks everyone. I certainly don't anticipate a lot of traffic at my site, so for just keeping an internet presence, maybe I'll give 'em a try.

I'm in no rush though.

Thanks!

I should of mentioned we only have our website domain from Godaddy.. Bob Hubbard hosts our site and wouldn't have any other host Seriously.. I've used others and

SilverStar WebDesigns Inc. is the best I've used.

Ohhhh....I see . I'll have to check into them too

I use GoDaddy for registration, and Kaith for the heavy lifting.

(No, I have no intention of calling him 'Bob Hubbard' instead of Kaith. I'm a creature of habit!)

 

[Cthulhu]

I use Kaith.

'nuff said.

Never used GoDaddy, but for some reason their commercials always stick out in my mind...

Our school's website uses them for both hosting and domain. www.kempokarate.com
