    The control panel takes a little time to learn.

    They aren't going to close down shop overnight and the uptime seems good.

    I bought the Deluxe hosting and a domain from them. So far so good.

    I lost a client to godaddy before but got him back because he relised they were overselling, not only that when he said he was leaving they doubled his space and bandwidth without him asking for it, he told me "its like they're trying to take over the hosting industry". I have used there control panel before with another domain name provider and never liked it so moved all our domains away from them because it takes some getting used too and in my business you cant lose anytime.

    I use them as a reg but not as hosting...I have heard lots of negatives about their hosting, just do a search here in the forums for more info, you will find lots.

    I've heard the shared hosting has troubles, but that the virtual hosting is pretty decent.

    Godaddy pretty much sucks at everything, except customer support. That's one unrivaled thing. Every time I call in I get the desired result. But I'd rather not have to call in in the first place... so I'd go with someone else.

    I use GoDaddy exclusivly for all my sites (well except for my Top Pick Videos blogger site). I buy all my domains through them as well.

    I run my Wikipedia mirror with 4.5+ million records using their $7 deluxe hosting package.

    The great thing about the deluxe hosting is that you can host as many domains and subdomains as you can fit on the same account. With all my sites I'm up to about 12GB of storage space used up out of 100GB available.

    It may not be the most feature rich host but I know PHP so I can write my own scripts to do what I want. For example, importing 4.5 million records into a database.

    I have all my domains and hosting with them. If you have a problem you will get a response to your emails within 2 hours. That’s my experience anyway. I’ve never had any problems with them. ;)

    I am also hosted with GoDaddy. They are good with both domains and hosting. But for Virtual dedicated & dedicated there are better options available.

    I am thinking about registering a VPS with them. People have said that shared is slow, but I hope they better manage their VPS.

    Also, does anyone know if they allow proxy sites?
    I sent them an email a few hours ago so I'll post tommrow!
