    I have seen a million complaints by users regarding hosting at godaddy. I do know they are really good at domain selling although are going down day by day in hosting service.

    Do anyone have a account with them in order to host the site? have you ever had peace since you were on it in the past or future ?

    I used godaddy once, and only once. My Virtual Private Server was hacked and used as a DDOS attack on a US Government website. When I contacted godaddy tech support, they told me it was not their problem.

    I changed host a few days later.

    Somehow a script kiddy had gained access to the server and was able to use the wget command to download scripts. When the scripts were ran, the server maxed out its TCP/IP connections in an attack on a Government website.

    What really made me mad was the attitude of the tech support people. All the would tell me is "its not our problem." If its not your problem, what am I paying you for then? Well, I decided that I was not getting what I had been paying for so it was time to find another host.

    - GOdaddy servers are actually managed servers. They can't really say that. You should have added this point into the nodaddy reviews :p I am sure there will be other millions like you facing same problems..

    Go Daddy is an Internet domain registrar and web hosting company that also sells e-business related software and services. In 2009, it reached more than 36 million domain names under management. So, I don’t think there wouldn’t be any problem.
