If I wasn't getting a friends & family rate on some colocation, I would use them myself. I do use them as my registrar and for DNS. I super hate GoDaddy. Partially it's their politics / image, but every time I've had an issue with them, the support people are like, "What do you want? We're cheap!". That said, they usually work fine, but if something goes wrong, may god have mercy on your soul.<br>

I've always heard that <span>GoDaddy</span> was good for simple sites and domains, but not for dynamic sites. They do make a bad impression due to extremely hard sell marketing. However, I've never had a problem that could not be solved with them. I had been having problems with a forum at 1
and 1, and the support was crap, always with an explanation on how everything was really my problem, which was why there was no solution. And talking about marketing approaches, I do not even want to go over the stunt they tried to pull on me. So I researched some other hosts for php and MySQL, and all had negatives showing. So the other day I decided I would just put it with GoDaddy. And it worked. So, dispite what they say about GoDaddy, they also have good points. I just moved the forum into a static site that has always just worked, and now I'm saving money, as there was no increased cost. They are cheap. But watch out for their sales techniques... like any contact with support results in including a sales approach, which has to be recognized for what it is, in order for it to really mean nothing.</div>
