What about 'Godaddy.com' for domains and hosting ?

I am about to register a new domain and host it. I was thinking of either using 'godaddy.com' the biggie here in the states, or yahoo.

I know that 'godaddy.com' is cheaper and well known, but my brother has used yahoo for a long time, and he loves them for domains and hosting.

Anyone else deal with Godaddy.com for domain registration and hosting ? How do you like them........ ?

 

I use Godaddy for my domain registrations and hosting.

I've been very happy with them.

Their phone support has been outstanding (just a few minutes wait time and very knowledgeable people). Their email support people are not as knowledgeable.

The only thing that I found lacking was the inability to use cron jobs.

In my opinion, a good service at a bargain price.

 

I love GoDaddy for domains. Great administration console, powerful features, and as andheresjohnny said, excellent telephone support. I was at a pub a few months back discussing ideas with a client. I called GoDaddy, went through some domain ideas with them and they registered them over the phone for me. The client was impressed - many registrars wouldn't care.

I haven't tried them for hosting though.

 

I also recommend Godaddy.com, I never had any problems with them.

 

GoDaddy for domains is as good as Google for searches.

 

Godaddy are very good. I haven't used them for hosting though as I am not based in the USA.

 

Run a little experiment. Try to transfer a non-GoDaddy domain into a GoDaddy account. Then do the some thing at some other registrar; namecheap.com comes to mind. Then count the time, number of ad-filled screens, and emails you had to wade through to get the job done

 

I seriously recommend www.dynadot.com
They are not resellers .. they are Icann accredited too ... But they rock ...
I have a little over 30 domains with them ....
their panel is easy .. and their system is just fantastic ...
As far as Hosting is concerned ...
Cpanel Hosting is what I love ....
To see a demo you can goto their site ....
But for beta use ... using a free host is good ...
There are many free cpanel hosts ....
My host www.twinkhost.net is one of em ...
No ads .. and I dont intend putting them ....
Other than that www.servage.net is good for hosting ... but still they lack cpanel ...

I have several domains through them (although it's cheaper to use ipowerweb or whatever it's called). I'd never use them again for hosting though. If you're running a business site, this is NOT the company to work with. They try to exercise control over your general operations because of their own competition issues. I had several sites hosted with them. One was a webzine. I have a group of freelance writers who work for me, and who have email addresses on that domain. I used constant contact for the zine's newsletters, because it was the best service I came across at that time. Godaddy refused to allow my newsletters to go through to my own writers! They blacklisted anything from constant contact, and don't allow the customer to decide who should be whitelisted for incoming mails to their domain. I called to complain. The Godaddy rep actually admitted flat out that they weren't whitelisting constant contact to email addresses hosted with them, because they were starting to tread into the same territory and it was a competition issue. Have you ever heard of anything so stupid??? That's like if hotmail said you couldn't receive email from a gmail user. Ridiculous. And this isn't the easiest company to work with when there's a problem either. I'd recommend hostgator. I switched to them quite a while back, and haven't had a single problem, have full control over everything I need, they keep their nose out of my business operations, answer any general questions w/in hours at most, and I can host as many domains on the larger account that I want, so it makes it worth paying a little more for all of the extra space and bandwidth.

 

Very satisfied with GoDaddy.
