    in general public opinion, godaddy is a good registra and hosting company.
    I think the same 6 months back. but not anymore.

    Here is list of problem that i have this host.

    1. control panel faulty, and after entering login information, it bring me to error page. Support ask me to clear cache and try again. Not helping, just clear off my data.

    2. control panel is always buggy. i always bump into error page, error 500 is most common. and they seem like never fix this. i faced this is both computer, from different network, same issue.

    3. shared smtp relay server. not even have own mail.yourdomain for outgoing email. Setup to this securenet server is a nightmare for me. My email suddently cant send out email, and support said they can send.

    4. All email to my mailbox get bounced back to sender. i spend hour to fix this and email support. Finally remove the email, and recreate it, solve the thing. felt like 'blue screen.. restart require" = waste of time.

    5. outgoing email daily limit of 250 only. thats too little and too low.

    6. buying domain with coupon, any coupon, dont get me any discount, same as last time. Maybe i holding too many domains now, and have to pay full price $9+. Sometime the billing keep generate error page, and i have to email to support for manual ordering of domains.

    7. Lately the domain propagation took more than 12 hours. previously i just need couple of hours

    I have hosting with hostgator, ixwebhosting, bluehost, lunarpages, exabytes.
    and godaddy is definately the last in the list.

    Sometimes there are errors.. but they're a pretty decent hosting company

    I never knew this was a common problem? This also happened to one of my clients..

    Too many promotional emails is a real problem.

    I never try their hosting service, but they was my domain registrar. Not anymore since I transfered all my domain away from them. :)

    I have loads of domains with Godaddy and i have found them to be very good service providers. Although i have to agree with the whole ads problem, they do try to sell you so much. one thing i always say to my clients when they sell things online is dont try to over-sell things you will just end up annoying your clients and basically throwing sales down the toilet. If you have so many problems you should get in contact with them and describe exactly what you are doing and where the problems are.

    Good Luck
