I had an email with my domain there for nearly 20 years. All of the sudden I received an email that they were switching email services, and it would now cost a crazy amount I called to confirm, as I have another server I can host my domain and receive free email. They said they would give me a year free, and said nothing needs to be done on my end, it will just continue working. Fast forward, I start noticing I haven’t received emails in this account for some time I call GoDaddy, and they admit I was given wrong information, my email was cancelled and all 20 years worth of important and irreplaceable emails are gone forever. I ask them how they plan on making this right, as this error is huge. They said “you’re getting 1 year email free, that’s good enough” and that “we can just cancel it all together if you prefer” I immediately transferred 20+ domains elsewhere Fuck Godaddy More on reddit.com

GoDaddy has surprisingly good caching. Which is good because they have miserably underpowered servers, especially for the price. The downside, in my recent experience, is a very slow authoring environment and sluggish behavior for forms, searches, and other normal website functions that can't be cached. I'd also be very wary of their signup pricing vs their real, long-time pricing. Other hosts have similar signup "bonuses" but when you add up overall price and overall performance, GoDaddy's "bounce per ounce" is disappointing at best. More on reddit.com
