Last night I managed to take my entire website down in an effort to (of all things) back it up. Apparently you cant just change your database password if you forgot your old one (que programmer laughs). A quick call to GoDaddy.com (my hosting provider) and all was back to normal again. As the sweating started to subside I put together a list why you should check them out when looking for a new hosting provider.
I have been designing and publishing websites for 10 years. Since I began, I have always used GoDaddy.com to host my websites, blogs, email, and FTP. Below is a list of reasons why I think GoDaddy.com is the best host out there.
- Reliable. They have always been there for all of my questions, support needs, and product availability.
- Support. When I have a question, I pick up the phone and call them because I want it resolved asap. Email and chat support is also available, but i love the fact I can speak with an educated person within minutes. Great support.
- Prices. GoDaddy.com’s rates are always amongst the best available. I check the prices every once in a while to compare. You wont do much better than GoDaddy
- Service. Every time I call or post a question I get a educated person. Both in support and sales.
- Reminders. I tend to use many of GoDaddy.com’s services and also tend to buy a great domain when I think of it. Love the reminders and auto-renew options. Keeps me in check.
- Uptime. I dont ever remember a time where my website or email have been down. Ever.
- Convenience. They truly make everything easy. I can always find what I need on their website.

Additional reasons from my friends on Twitter

@kg_creative- at the time I started, it was the only real alternative to network solutions. They have maintained reasonable prices since.
