    Hi, I am at present a client of shared hosting here in Pakistan under this domain name
    http://www.paksfun.com/
    Their service is good, yet I am not satisfied cuz of shared hosting sometimes the server gets down resulting website gets offline.
    I want to know about godaddy.com, Weather is it fake?or not?
    Does any have account with them?
    what about their service?
    Any other world best not fraud hosting and domain site?
    I will transfer my domain and will purchase hosting of 10gb space.
    I want to purchase it from godaddy but before I purchase, I want to know weather it is fake or not and services of godaddy and any person has account with godaddy.
    Please tell me as soon as possible as i really need to transfer my domain and hosting.

    dear you have to check some godady reviews and also check some local comapnies reviews so you get better hosting solution for your website

    Our server was being upgraded that's why my site was down. Now it's ok. This is the problem that sometimes our server gets updated and sometimes any other problem occurs which downs my site. Therefore I need hosting from that server which never stops my sites.
    What about www.whois.com?

    From my experience,GoDaddy is good for domain registration..
    Their webhosting is not that nice.Switch to some other host which has got good uptime HostGator,HostMonster,HostNine..etc

    And my personal suggestion is HostNine.I purchased a hosting account from them last month and it is the fastest hosting I have ever used

    Godaddy is excellent for what their original purpose was. Domain registrations.

    Their hosting service however routinely receives negative reviews. Out of all of the different hosting companies that I transfer sites from for clients, godaddy is far and above #1 on the list that people transfer from.

    Godaddy is only good for domain registration, and should not be used for anything else other than that...

    Godaddy is good for purchasing domains. They are topnotch on service
    and support.

    I wouldn't use them for Hosting. I use Hostgator and they are excellent.

    Hope this helps.

    I agree with the statements so far that godaddy is fine for domain registrations but I do not recommend them for web hosting.

    I have seen various opinions about them, so far most of them are not good enough. But they are believed the best domain name registrar.

    I think Godaddy is the world biggest registrar so they are certainly not fake and I myself have more then 200 domains with them. I would never host my websites with Godaddy as I know their service is not top notch. I would host my site with a well known hosting company which has hosting as its main focus.

    One.com is a very good budget host. Probably one of the biggest hosts in the world.

    I would not say they are the biggest web hosting company in the world. I do not agree with this.

    No, not if you want to use htaccess unless you like internal server errors.....

    GoDaddy support for htaccess is totally arse to say the very least.

    I've actually gotten several clients for my hosting company coming FROM GoDaddy because of how bad it is. Don't use GoDaddy for hosting.

    Yeah their hosting is terrible. Great hardware and network but they are just so big so you will just be a needle in a haystack for their sales/tech ppl. Basically they dont give a shit.

    GoDaddy is a Domain Name provider primarily, that also does hosting, and they are very good! The prices vary, based on the domain, but generally for a .com domain it is about $10 per year. Hosting begins at about $5 per month and goes up to $15 depending on what you need.

    I agree with GuessWho. Domain services and even email work very well. Hosting is sometimes crowded though.
