4 words sum it up : Stay Away From GoDaddy. Enough said. I don't even wanna waste more time writing about the bad things about this host who has wasted enough of my time already. 1 year is long enough suffering with GoDaddy. I am looking for a new host.

Most people complaining about dedicated hosting shouldnt have it.... If you need technical help with a dedicated server your probably should not be upgrading to dedicated yet... Lets face the facts dedicated servers are intended for experienced webmasters who have loads of traffic. Probably something a novice will not experience. Dont be mad not everyone can make it in this industry. I will say if you are looking for support though this is the wrong company.

Godaddy's dedicated hosting server support is a JOKE!! As bad as godaddy's website is screwed up, it is a good indicator of their support.

I had to prepay $2800 (I HAD TO PREPAY IT FOR A YEAR!!) for a dedicated server and they make up excuse after excuse why they can't help. What the hell is included in this so-called “support”? It’s a flat out rip off!! And, no one seems to know anything about Windows servers.

Godaddy sucks!!!

I switched between hosting providers for years (GoDaddy, Yahoo, hostway, lunarpages, and a few others), but I always found myself coming back to GoDaddy. Eventually I decided to just stick with them, and while I'm not always happy, I can't say I'm unhappy either.

My site gets ~40,000 visits a month and 600,000+ page views, so I need it running on a dedicated server. I've been doing this for a little over a year now, and have never had a complaint.

The one thing that does bug me is how their site bombards you with "Buy This!" but ignoring it is easy.

Their support is very good. I went with a dedicated server package, the set-up didn't take that long. It was a normal and understandable wait time. I like their support, I always have the joy talking to one of their representatives.

If you are planning to try the Website Tonight package, try a different company. I pay $8.99 for a hosting service that is essentially a joke. If you are planning to post an a page and never update it, this is a great package. If you need to do frequent updates, plan on waiting... and waiting... and waiting... for godaddy to think about updating your page. Be prepared for stallouts that dump your changes, too. Photo hosting is a painful joke with this package, too. My updated photos often stall out mid upload -- then that data is dumped in the trash bin by godaddy. I am inconveniently (and without notice) signed out from a window that is separate from the Website tonight launchpad. I wish someone had told me the facts before I signed up. Tech support has hold times of five minutes and up, managers are not helpful, and per the CSRs, godaddy has no plans to improve the speed of their service.

Absolutely, under no circumstances ever get a dedicated server from GoDaddy. Their 'advanced hosting support' is so bad it goes beyond incompetence to the point of fraud and negligence. Their datacenters are overwhelmed and poor performance is the result.

I have used the GoDaddy hosting services for about 6 months. They have been great I have never had a problem getting support from them. Just call them... you can also email. They are always very responsive and knowledgeable. I suspect that the posts in which people are complaining about the awful GoDaddy support are seeded from competitors. I do agree that they pop a lot of upsale messages when you order services from them but hey... what do you expect... would you like fries with that burger sir? MacDonald's made a fortune upselling. Just click "no" dude!

These guys are cheap to host with, but you get what you pay for. Also, if you're wondering why they can offer so much more than some other companies read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overselling

I hate their back-end services, they are very unintuitive, and the hosting panel is a joke.

Also, every page of theirs is constantly bombarding you with ads to upgrade

If you get a hosting VDS that doesn't include support. They will stick to it till death. Won't even try to help. Not even "T" of the word try.

It's not cheap to get support from them. That's where they make money.

I do sites for small, local nonprofits so cost is important and these guys give a lot of space for cheap. Tech service has always been helpful and friendly, not curt like BlueHost, and I can understand them when they talk. Control panel is also a lot faster than BlueHost's.

For shared hosting - not much can defeat the price. Horrible experience with Virtual Dedicated server, though. HORRIBLE.

Support is fine, they do not offer help though. Their htaccess support is a complete joke, they might aswell not even offer it. My website wont even load if you dont add the www infront of it, but it is cheap.
