I have been following this thread for quite sometime, till now I was just reading it and was mute spectator but now few of the comments made me speak my mind here...

You offering hosting is not a problem... putting another service down and then offering your service is unethical, especially because you have no idea how big Godaddy is.
On top of that, showing 10 comments of unhappy users to justify your original statement? Compare those 10 or even 1000 to the 10 million Godaddy registered users - that's my point!
There are better ways to present value of a service you're offering - you don't have to say "x" and "y" are horrible services, but I have something better (especially when you don't have first hand experience with those services).
Actually, I do not see anyone putting any service down, everyone here is just putting their points forward and in that it is highly possible that some of the services will have bad points... and I do not see anything wrong in putting that forward to people...
Like you said (check in bold letters in first para of you quote), only 10 users out of 10 million users found it bad but you also must understand that out of 10 million users 100 might have visited that site and from those 100, many might not have posted any comments and only fraction of the people might have posted the comments....
So it is bit illogical to say from 10 million users only 10 found it bad so we can't call it as a bad company,
you should see the no. of users posted bad comments from the total comments present on that site
I have seen godaddy's control panel and some options, I must say that, they have pretty confusing stuff...specially the stats software which is very important, all they provide you is some script which reads the logs file Analog's log file and shows some awful stats....
I must also make a point that, till now my client has not faced any issues with them but it is highly possible that, it is becasue his site had nothing but few static pages and some pages driven my php mysql (no CMS)
So locking of queries and all, issue won't arise here....
Some of the pointers which will give clear idea to the users:
GoDaddy hosting customers victim to massive hack
WHT Thread 1 (check the no. of people saying godaddy is "good")
WHT Thread 2
These are very few users compared to 10 million users but these kind of reviews help a lot to mak decision.
And if you wish to have an accurate product rating, then you will have to ask all 10 million users to rate godaddy...

Mr Ashish why dont you just post your client names first, but as you already said that you are new, you have no clients, then do one thing, when you get some clients post them here and we will continue this debate.
Sometimes, it's better if kids stay away from the serious discussion...do you even know what you asked? listing client names here? If a person does not want to list them publically, then it is his choice. PM him and he will provide...why there is any need to ask the same question again? (which was answered in the first page itself)
I request users to be bit sensible enough to post comments, it just looks stupid if users keep on posting illogical stuff because of anger.
