Detailed GoDaddy OverviewThis hosting service has recieved
GoDaddy
GoDaddy has been around for what seem like ages. This GoDaddy Review should set the record straight, once and for all. They were established in March of 1999. I am sure at one time you have seen the Super Bowl commercials or the popular T.V. advertisements. They do offer the same type of supports as its’ competitor Hostgator does, and they do have a toll free number, however it usually takes about 3 minutes to get in contact with an online operator, which isn't too bad. GoDaddy is simply an intermediate to advanced hosting service that offers web-hosting space at the cheapest price possible.
Features
Like a lot of other hosting companies they offer three different types of hosting, Economy, Deluxe, and Premium. With Economy, which is $3.59/month, you get 5 GB of space with 250 GB of bandwidth. Also you get one domain with Economy. Deluxe (the best offer) for $6.99/month you get 100 GB of space and 1000 GB of bandwidth with unlimited domains. However, Premium (the most expensive) you can lock in for $14.99/month gives you 200 GB of space with a massive 2000 GB of bandwidth, with of course, unlimited domains. They do offer various packages, such as VPS and dedicated hosting packages, as well.
GoDaddy does use their own control panel (Pleask), which is kind of quirky to work with, but I would just recommend that you download your own FTP client so that you do not have to use their Cpanel. Their unique control panel is not equivalent to Cpanel. However, they do offer Windows and Linux hosting. They do support Windows,SQL Server, ASP, and PHP, but they don’t allow enterprise manager connection for the SQL server. So you are required to use their interface for SQL server, which is a task in its’ self. I would like to caution you that if you use PHP I would highly recommend that you use Linux hosting.
Peformance Matters
GoDaddy is like a rocket ship in terms of speed. Their performance is among the best of the best. However, in the past people often did complain about their slow server speed. This has changed!. They use only the latest server technology, which allows their serves to run at maximum speed. We would have to say, the best thing about GoDaddy, aside from their great price is thier server speed. Also, their uptime for their servers is better than the industries standards. Because they are such a big company they can afford to provide their customers with the latest technology.

Bottom Line
If you want the fastest speed possible and want good customer service for an affordable price GoDaddy is your best bet. Also, their Cpanel is kind of difficult, but if you can tolerate it you should be fine. They have received a couple complaints about their customer service, but all and all ,I have found it to be a cost efficient web hosting company, with lightning fast speed. As a added bonus you can also purchase your web domains with Godaddy if you choose to. Some do like to pay a one time payment (for web hosting a year), so in case this is you, you should read this review on FatCow. This site is actually hosted by GoDaddy,too. I hope this GoDaddy review was helpful in determining if they are right for you.
