Godaddy hosting

    I'm looking for a new hosting for my sites. Could you tell me if Godaddy hosting is ok? I mean: speed & uptime. Has anybody host sites there? I would be able to check speed. If godaddy.com loads fast can I be sure that my pages hosted by them also will?

    Is there a cheaper alternative? Please, help me to make a decision.

    Could you provide some links that are hosted on their servers. I just want do test speed as majority of my visitors (and me ;) ) are located outside US.

    I have heard alot of bad things about Godaddy hosting, They are great with domains but i think they should stick to that. I have heard some good things too, but mostly negative things. What other hosts have you considered?

    rllunzmann, I started searching but GoDaddy seemed to be cheap and trusted and I wanted to hear sth more of their service. But it seems not to be as good as I thought. Can you recommend other companies to me?

    well, i can't say that i can recommend a particular company as I am a host provider, but do you have any specifics that you need in your plan?

    ie: windows hosting or linux hosting. Do you need alot of disk space/bandwidth, etc..? Anything else to help with your plan that you might need? What budget do you have in mind?

    Thanks!
