GoDaddy – Most Popular Web Host ($3.66/mo)
GoDaddy Pros:
+ Good Uptime (99.97%)
+ Fast Load Time (0.52ms)
+ Many Great Features
+ Well Known Brand
GoDaddy Cons:
– Unreliable Support
– Emails, Backups and SSL Cost Extra
GoDaddy’s brand is one of the most known brand among domain registrars and hosting providers. They offer – a 99.99% uptime guarantee, 100GB of website storage (a lot), unmetered bandwidth and free trial for their website builder.
Their actual performance parameters are good, while the page loading speed is 517ms, and the average uptime is 99.97%.
GoDaddy does a lot of upsells and sneaky marketing tricks. For example you have to pay for the site backups, SSL certificates and email accounts. They have created many money grabs inside the pricing structure. Their customer support could have replied faster.
This is why it makes so hard to recommend them above any of the aforementioned hosts.
