GoDaddy Review – The Biggest Villain in the Web Hosting Industry
Tutorial Hosting
At this point it’s almost a universal truth everyone hates godaddy right there’s even a website called anti-godaddy that has bad reviews from way back in 2006. the last one seems to be in 2015. nine out of 10 reviewers will say do not use godaddy at any cost and refer you to another web
Hosting provider why is that well among some other features it’s mostly money you see reviewers make money when you buy something through their links this is true for absolutely any web hosting review website video article etc even the content that i make is no exception and different web hosting providers
Pay different rates godaddy basically pays nothing when compared to other companies they have their own marketing departments they take care of their own marketing they do not focus on affiliate commissions however for reviewers this means that there’s not big incentive to offer godaddy to you it’s much more lucrative to offer you
Other web hosting companies that pay them more on top of that godaddy isn’t the cheapest and it’s not the fastest web hosting provider it doesn’t even have the best support so it’s a really easy target to hate but today i’ll actually share just the facts test results customer testimonials and actually
Employee testimonials as well while sprinkling in a little bit of my own personal opinion so you can make a decision for yourself if godaddy is something that you like or you hate let’s get started Let’s start off with the facts godaddy is huge according to daytonize 17 of websites that they tested are hosted on godaddy and trust me 17 for just one company is insane for reference on the same scale bluehost has a three percent market share and hostgator has a 3.5 percent
Godaddy has 19.3 million customers and makes around 800 million dollars a year they’re this big because of two factors one they’re an old company they’ve been doing web hosting since 1997 and two they spend a crap ton on marketing though it’s unclear most companies tend to spend around
10 percent of their earnings on marketing so i can estimate that godaddy has a marketing budget of 80 million dollars every single year okay so they’re an older company and they have a lot of cash to blow on marketing godaddy.com marlena on the outside wallace on the inside
But they have to be doing something right to be this profitable right so how is their service i actually bought a plan with godaddy back in 2019 that i’ve been constantly monitoring and i’ll be sharing the test results a little bit later in this video The cheapest plan here starts at 5.99 a month but this standard trick applies if you want to pay you’ll have to opt in for a 36 month period if you host your website for only a year the price jumps to 6.99 a month and these prices are not cheap especially considering that
You do not get a free ssl certificate you do not get automate backups or even essential security together with a plan all of these extra features are left as add-ons problem is these extra options are priced quite absurdly for example the website security tool does little to nothing in my experience
And it costs more than the web hosting plan the ssl certificate has monthly billing but you should never pay for ssl certificate because they are free i actually have a guide on how you can get ssl certificates completely free of charge even using godaddy as an example that you can find
Right around here and i do not recommend buying ssl certificates from godaddy because they charge you around 80 dollars for it a year that’s actually absurd i don’t recommend you buy anything extra from godaddy because 9 out of 10 times it is overpriced however godaddy does have some hidden
Discounts that offer much better deals that you can get normally for example if you use the links in the description you will be able to get 1 year of hosting plus a domain name plus email hosting for 12 the regular price is around 800 so that’s quite a significant discount
But as i mentioned before if you make any purchases using the links down in the description below i might make a commission and no godaddy is not sponsoring this video they did not ask for it and they will not get to review the script before i publish it
In fact they probably don’t even know this video exists because in all reality they don’t care i’m just sharing this information with you because this is how i monetize my youtube channel and i try to be as honest as possible so thank you for the support and let’s get back to this video
So i had a godaddy plan from way back in 2019 when i did my previous review but for this one i bought a plan with godaddy again just to see if anything changed here’s how it all looks under the hood currently in all honesty it’s pretty decent the design is modern
And easy to navigate you have different sections for different features and you have your primary menu when you can see a quick summary of your website and then you can access the standard cpanel where all of the controls and advanced features hide if you’ve ever dealt with web hosting
Before you should definitely be familiar with this control panel this is where you’ll be able to create your free professional business email accounts you just select the domain you want to use enter the name and password and boom now i have emmett at emmett sites.com nice and professional and of course just
Like with any web host that uses cpanel i was able to automatically install wordpress onto my website with just a couple of clicks you basically just need to choose your login information and everything else is done automatically only takes a couple of minutes now i wanted to do some performance
Tests but for that i needed a website so i quickly created a website using their automatic installation and then i loaded in some demo content to make it as close as possible to something that could actually pass for a real website i would say the whole process took me
Around 10 minutes it wasn’t overly complicated and godaddy actually makes the website creation process quite easy and straightforward the first test i ran was using a tool called the gt metrics my godaddy website loaded between 2 or 4 seconds with a time to first bite being a 0.7 seconds
These are somewhat average and extremely inconsistent results especially if you’re paying full price for the plants by the way just so we’re on the same page time to first bite basically means how long it took for the server to initially respond before even loading any of that content
For more expensive web hosting providers you’re always looking for this number to be below half a second i’ve been using godaddy for quite some time now more than a year actually on some throwaway projects and i always monitor my website using external tools to see how often they go
Down and i can’t really fault the stability of godaddy it’s one of the more stable web hosting providers i’ve tested all year pingdom showed an uptime of 99.93 that means my website was offline for only four hours in one year godaddy guarantees an uptime of 99.9 percent on their website and
As far as i’m concerned this guarantee seems to check out since i’ve been running the test for over a year and the uptime is a 99.93 so at least they’re not lying in that regard to summarize the whole performance here’s what i think the control panel itself
Is very beginner friendly and easy to use for more advanced functionality we have the standard cpanel and every single function that you could want in terms of loading speed i don’t like the inconsistencies i don’t like that sometimes it’s 2 seconds sometimes it’s 4 seconds of course for smaller projects it’s
Not that big of a deal but for larger projects you’ll definitely need more consistent loading times across the board especially considering if you’re looking to host a website on a really really tight budget you can get a decently fast and very stable website for just one dollar a month if you’re using the
Links down below when taken into consideration the facts and raw performance data godaddy isn’t actually a bad web hosting provider they’re decent it’s just that competition has gotten so much better and their profit margins are getting worse so in my opinion godaddy is actually trying to get out
Of the web hosting business because there’s less money to be made here they’re moving heavily towards website builders because profit margins are much higher there and the main competition is only wix and squarespace that’s why you see them advertise their website builder over web hosting services in most countries This is where most of the complaints about godaddy stem from their customer support team or more accurately their insanely pushy marketing team on the surface everything seems nice you’ve got a 24 7 live chat support and the phone support in a billion different languages like seriously look at this support in
The united kingdom argentina poland brazil portugal and many many many many more some of these countries i can’t even pronounce you’ve also got quite an extensive knowledge base that’s very easy to navigate contains plenty of well-written illustrated and even highlighted articles what’s not like am i right well as it turns out
A lot there is a lot not to like here’s a post i found on reddit where someone complains that godaddy’s support team actually actively called his business asking if everything is okay and then offered to upgrade and supposedly someone who worked for godaddy for 8 years answered that this is a very common
Tactic and he made a ton of sales this way godaddy also sends out a lot of marketing emails i had people reach out saying that often if their website is broken godaddy supports tries to solve every problem with more expensive packages more sales and extra features was i too nice to go
Daddy in this review yeah some people might actually say that so let’s put in some more fuel into the fire if your godaddy website for any reason gets hacked breaks or you just lose the files the godaddy support team will actually help you recover your website and restore it for the
Low low price of 150 to 300 yeah that’s right they will restore your files for the average monthly salary of pakistan at least according to google If you want to use godaddy for web hosting i can only recommend them if you get an insane discount for example the 12 for a year deal it’s just really good value for money at the moment and you can always cancel after the one year is up
But in general for full price godaddy isn’t really a good web hosting company they specialize more in domain names and now they’re shifting their focus onto their website builder tool which is a really good product by the way and i will probably do a review on it in the future
And still with all of that taken into consideration i still don’t think that godaddy is as bad as most other people make it to be you just need to use their services in a very specific way and buy during heavy discounts it’s not really a good choice for beginners because they will
Bamboozle you and will not help you out when you need it and it’s not really a good choice for larger projects due to average performance and high costs godaddy is best for simple template websites that utilize the one-click installers and never need any external help if you’re trying to get
More out of your web hosting provider it’s probably not the best idea to choose godaddy the biggest problem of godaddy is that their competitors just simply outperformed them over the years and godaddy they’re not actively putting in any effort to make their service better because they don’t care about web
Hosting anymore they’re moving into the website builder space and they’ve always been primarily a domain name company they’ve actually bought up a uni registry and some other companies that sell domain names and are becoming a huge domain name monopoly because you can use the domain name you get from godaddy with absolutely any
Other web hosting service of your choice and the domain names alone usually cost around 12 and in this plan you also get web hosting that you can use for throwaway projects joe projects or as the backup for your main web hosting provider to avoid some serious downtime
My name is emmett i hope you enjoyed this review and i’ll see in the next Video You
You've heard the horror stories, you've heard about the terrible church service. But is it true? Well, in this GoDaddy review I'm going to answer exactly that! ► GoDaddy $1 Offer ➜ https://emit.reviews/go/godaddy-2022 ► Chat with me on Discord ➜ https://discord.gg/RFCramPpR5 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ In this GoDaddy review, I will present clear facts. I will review and analyze all the evidence I can get to see if this is the worst web hosting provider out there or if these claims are exaggerated. I will talk about their history, pricing model, support features, and ease of use. Here's everything you need to know about GoDaddy before purchasing their web hosting. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Schedule 00:00 – Introduction 01:35 – History and Facts 02:52 – Pricing Model 04:09 – GoDaddy -Discount 04:55 – Control Panel 06:00 – Performance 09:04 – Support 11:00 – Recommendation ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬ History GoDaddy has quite a storied history and, as one of the oldest web hosting providers around, is no stranger to controversy. Founded in 1997, they were among the first web hosting companies to offer commercial web hosting services. Because they were one of the first companies, they were able to make A LOT of money. And that money was put into a lot of advertising. This has established GoDaddy as THE web hosting company you can turn to when you need a website. Over the years, GoDaddy has faced more and more competition in the web hosting space. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Prices In this GoDaddy review, I look at their prices and compare them to other web hosting companies in order to see if you are getting a good deal for the money you spend. Since GoDaddy is one of the oldest web hosting companies, they have a slightly higher price because you are paying for their brand in addition to the service itself. However, you can get a significant 88% discount using the links below. ► GoDaddy $1 Offer ➜ https://emit.reviews/go/godaddy-2022 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Control Panel No GoDaddy review would be complete without actually showcasing their web hosting service. That's why I'll show you what the control panel looks like to see if it's easy to use for beginners. I will also discuss some additional features you get when you purchase GoDaddy web hosting. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Performance To test how well your website would perform, I'll run three tests using GoDaddy web hosting services . 1. Speed 2. Stability 3. Stress Since GoDaddy is an older company, they generally follow the same trends as other old companies. High stability through experience and reliable technology. However, with age comes a speed disadvantage. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Support This is what people like least about GoDaddy. So in this GoDaddy review I'm going to take advantage of their support service to see if they're here to help or if they're here to sell me additional features. Most people and people who claim to have worked at GoDaddy in the past all tell the same story: They are trained to sell. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Recommendation / Conclusion Is GoDaddy bad? No. They're just not great. In my opinion, GoDaddy is no longer very interested in web hosting services as competition has become fiercer and profit margins have become smaller. Now they're focusing their efforts on new tools like their website builder and are still the best domain name registrar out there. I highly recommend you purchase the $1 plan they offer as it is worth it for the domain name alone. Additionally, you get hosting and email that you can use for throwaway, joke, or testing projects. ► Godaddy- $ 1 offer ➜ https://emit.reviews/go/Godaddy-2022 ▬ EU I am affiliated but not sponsored by any hosting provider.
