Nice quotes - now let's talk numbers... compare these handful of unhappy users with the number of registered users *still with* Godaddy. Every business will have unhappy customers and for various reasons... but as long as the % of unhappy users is insignificant when compared to your entire userbase (and godaddy must be having 0.001% unhappy customers), you will stay in business. I say this after running *real* ecommerce businesses on the web for the last 7 - 8 years, not based on others' random thoughts like you seem to frame your opinions around.
Btw, a lot of those comments above have to do with lack of user understanding and education... and why I seem irritated (agitated is a word out of place), I hate to see people make false claims just to promote their services. It's known as piggyback marketing on the WWW, and it's considered unethical.
No sir! First thing first. I am not saying thigs about GoDaddy to sell my stuff! I repeat once again. People can go to anywhere and of course, I have nothing against it. (Even if I have, who cares
)
But from what I have read at various places so far is that Godaddy hosting is not good, so I expressed
my opinion and when required substantiated it with links. BTW, I
do rely on other's opinion that I read and therefore so far haven't had need to switch hosting too many times!! If there are so many people saying so many things about it, you have to give it a thought!
Some of the things here are truly unfavourable!! For example not being able to run CMS due to MySQL locking problems, no cPanel, site slowdown, downtimes, etc. These are some of the things that matter!! And I have read many more things at various places. Can't find everything again just for the sake of this argument.
There is no intention to market. The question was asked and I answered. Godaddy was mentioned and I gave my opinion with links. I didn't start a thread saying purchase hosting for me!! I just made posts in existing threads of someone inquiring about hosting. And if I can give hosting, why should I not say I can give it!!
BTW, even if you are irritated (and not agitated), don't be!
Afterall arguments in a forum are not worth it.
