Why Some People Are Saying You Shouldn't Use Godaddy... I just read a Mediapost article By Tameka Kee (Referring to a Wired blog by Kevin Poulsen): quote : It may not be if you have GoDaddy as your hosting service. The domaining company recently took down a site called RateMyCop.com on grounds that stink of censorship, according to Kevin Poulsen. RateMyCop.com allows users to rate and comment on the uniformed officers in their community, and "GoDaddy unceremoniously pulled-the-plug on the site in the wake of outrage from criticism-leery cops," Poulsen said. In an interview, site founder Gino Sesto said he received conflicting statements from GoDaddy about why his site had been taken down, ranging from alleged "suspicious activity," to a claim that the site had passed its three-terabyte bandwidth limit--which Sesto says is impossible. The startup garnered media interest this week, as cops around the country complained that they'd be put at risk by having their info (just names and badge numbers) in one database, or face "unfair maligning" by disgruntled citizens. And Poulsen says that GoDaddy caved under the pressure. "Unfortunately for [RateMyCop.com], the company it chose for hosting is known to be quick to censor its customers," Poulsen says. Some are saying this is yet another example of GoDaddy imposing draconian censorship measures which are completely outside their responsibilities as a hosting provider. I myself use them and never had any problems.
Yeah me too, have been using Godaddy for the past 3 months and it works well with me. But to host a bigger site, Godaddy is not the best place
Godaddy is just not meant for people who know the Internet well .. I guess even they are just targetting the regular guys luring em with those superbowl (aha) ads... like always ts best to keep domains and hosting separate.. and if possible get domains with those who are stable but still has some catching up to do in terms of numbers..
