Problems With GoDaddy?

    Is anyone else having problems with GoDaddy? They seem incredibly slow tonight...to the point of timing out before I can get into my account. Also some of my sites hosted with them aren't loading, whereas other sites are just fine. Anyone having a similar experience?

    Apologizes if this is posted in the wrong forum...thanks

    not with me .. Godaddy is always fast.

    that is wht we have paid for.

    btw wht kind of problem are you facing. well if its only slow then it might be possible that your internet connect would be slow. thats why opening that slowly. !

    he said that some of his sites aren't working either :D

    I don't use godaddy hosting (because I don't think a domain registrar would make a very good host...conflict of interests if you ask me...)...but have you given THEM a call to ask about it??

    Not slow at all for me. Perhaps it's just your connection.

    Thanks for the replies everyone...the problem was that logging into godaddy.com would time out and some of my websites hosted with them either didn't load or gave back database errors, but the rest of the internet worked fine and speedy. In any event, whatever problem was going on has been fixed now.

    I have been having some problems with Godaddy in terms of speed (no, it's not my connection, it happens no matter where I look at my site from). My load times on my site seem to just get slower and slower. Do you think contacting Godaddy would be of any use?

    Unfortunately, my experience with GoDaddy customer support has been really poor -- I guess it's true you get what you pay for, and in this case, saving money on domains and hosting costs us some measure of customer support. I don't think contacting them would be of much use but it wouldn't hurt to try I guess.

    One thing I would advise everyone, and DPers probably already realize this, GoDaddy has separate servers for parked pages and hosted pages. When you buy a new domain and have a hosting package there, the site by default is hosted on the parked server. Even if you delete the godaddy parked page and build a website you have to manually switch it from the parking server. Switching my domains over from the parked to the hosting servers helped a lot in terms of speed when I discovered it a few weeks ago. Yeah, I'm an idiot -- I had no idea this was an option :D

    Anyway, that's obviously not the problem right now but just something to keep in mind if any newbies to GoDaddy stumble across this thread.
