Onboarding is easy, and getting started is fairly pain free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoDaddy Hosting? Constant upsells, support after initial setup is hard to work with and difficult to reach. Managing multiple domains for various clients can become a headache real fast - the menus and pages are not organized well for these areas of the admin account.

Customer Success Advisor Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/8/2025 "Regarding sudden changes in the price." 0.5/5 What do you like best about GoDaddy Hosting? The services and support provided are generally good. However, when it comes to pricing, there are significant concerns. The company states that GoDaddy’s plans and charges are subject to change at any time, which means there is no fixed pricing for their hosting plans. This lack of transparency and price consistency is not a fair or customer-friendly approach to doing business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoDaddy Hosting? The pricing plans are a complete mess. I’ve been paying around ₹990 per month for my hosting, but for the past 3–4 months, the price keeps going up every single month with no explanation. When I asked about the monthly renewal price, they gave a vague excuse saying prices change daily and refused to even share the details of my own plan. On top of that, I asked them to apply a discount coupon, and instead of helping, they kept giving me the runaround and never provided the actual pricing. This is just shady and dishonest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoDaddy Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you? I have my own website hosted on GoDaddy. In the past, their pricing was clear and straightforward, but now they keep increasing the charges without any prior notice. It’s frustrating and feels completely unfair, especially when there’s zero transparency about the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning, back in 2018, everything was fine. However, after some security issues were discovered, we contacted support. Several representatives then sold us a solution that turned out to be useless, and it came at a very high price. In the end, we wasted more than $3,000 for nothing.

Business Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/25/2025 "Terrible Experience: Locked Features and Pushy Sales Tactics" 0/5 What do you like best about GoDaddy Hosting? Honestly, very little. The platform looks simple enough, and setting up a basic site is easy. But beyond that, it hasn’t met my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoDaddy Hosting? I did not like GoDaddy hosting at all. My biggest issue was not having access to the website’s source code, especially the \ section, which made simple tasks — like adding a Google Tag — unnecessarily frustrating. Even worse, every time I called support, it felt more like dealing with a sales team than a help desk. Out of the dozen calls I’ve made, one stood out the most: a rep told me I had to upgrade to their Managed WordPress plan, costing hundreds of dollars more. The problem is, I had already upgraded once because another rep previously promised it would solve the same issue — and it didn’t. When I refused to pay again, the rep became pushy and even said he could be “making $4,000 from another customer” instead of talking to me. That was beyond unprofessional. My advice: stay away from GoDaddy Hosting. There are better providers that give you more control and real customer support without constant upselling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since they migrated to GoDaddy in Nov, I can't think of a single thing good to say about them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoDaddy Hosting? I had been with Media Temple from 2001 - 2022. But once they moved to GoDaddy, it all fell apart. My first problem was that I could not email certain important people in my life. They could not fix the kickback, what? Next, turns out my website was down for months. Someone still from Media Temple fixed that DNS problem. As I prepared to move to another host I discovered they LOST my files. I had run a backup first time as instructed but it was already too late and they had no backups that were useful. Lastly when I canceled, they overcharged me by 2 months. The techs are the lowest level clerks imaginable... astonishing for a tech company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow, glitchy and terrible customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoDaddy Hosting? God, where do I even start. The UI is confusing, they are overpriced for what they offer, and their customer support is the worst I've ever experienced with any hosting service. I have a client who is continuously having issues with their site because of server-related issues, and I have currently been waiting on their "super-fast chat support" for close to an hour (and this wait time is standard from previous experience with them). We will be moving them away as soon as possible. Use literally any other service but Media Temple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/1/2022 "Godaddy has devolved into the WORST hosting company out there" 0/5 What do you like best about GoDaddy Hosting? I USED TO like how quickly and easily you could get a website up and running. That part does technically still work.... until their lack of security features enables bots and malware attacks to drag your shiny new website to a screeching halt and undoes your work. If you have monthly hosting payments, if a payment comes through that you don't want, you can get a refund if you call them IMMEDIATELY. Which is a good thing because more times than I can count (over 19 years of using them as a host), the phone rep has told me it's set to monthly billing, only to have it come out for a full year (or 5) on the next billing cycle, so plan on spending a LOT of time on hold waiting for someone to fix their mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoDaddy Hosting? I dislike pretty much everything about this company at this point. Here is a list of why. I dislike their customer service since 2020. They've outsourced (sold outright?) to a company in India, with poor English and far poorer attitude and ethics. I also dislike that after 19 years as their customer, their customer service reps don't care about keeping a customer enough to actually listen to the problem so they actually understand what you're calling about, won't actually escalate the call to a manager if the request is above their authority level, and get outright belligerent when you do ask for a manager to get on the phone. Their security against bots and malware is terrible, possibly non-existent. Being one of the biggest companies for web hosting and domains, Godaddy's servers have a giant target on their backs with hackers, bots and malware, and over the years of having my site, I'd constantly get SQL injections of malware on my site and get threatening automated emails from Godaddy to clean it up. Their poor security created the problem, and Godaddy made sure it was MY problem. More on that issue below. I also dislike their incompetence over the years, telling me one thing then doing another: \*\*Example 1: "I've set that to monthly billing for you." Then the next month, I get charged for a full year or several years of hosting up front, and have to call back and waste time on hold for them to fix it. \*\*Example 2: In 2016 I realized I had unlimited web storage, and called Godaddy to see if it was okay to just upload hour-long MP3 recordings of my clients' lesson sessions to a folder so that I can make download links for them to access it. The rep told me that should be just fine; I kept pressing him to double-check everything because it seemed too good to be true, given what cloud storage costs. He assured me I'd have no problem no matter how large the storage got to be, and that the problem I'd run into, if any, would be if I reached a total quantity of 250,000 files, which is so astronomical that I felt satisfied enough to get off the phone. Then a year and a half passed by, and I got an email from Godaddy that I had 1 week to get all my files off of their server and that this account was flagged to be closed permanently for "abusing" their terms of service over the very thing that I double- and triple-checked would be okay to do. When I called to ask what was going on, they informed me that my domain could no longer be used on the affordable hosting plan I had been on since 2009, and I had to either upgrade to their Turbo ($30/month) hosting or basically get lost. So, with my business dependent on this website, and only a week to salvage all my files and rebuild it from scratch (since they insisted my database was suddenly corrupted and not able to be accessed or backed up) , I had little choice but to accept being strongarmed into this 3x more expensive hosting plan. Within a month, I was getting emails flagging my new, more expensive account for detected malware again. So I called them again, frustrated that this age-old problem was STILL happening, and so soon after succumbing to their pressure to pay a great deal more only to have this happen again almost immediately. Their solution was their Web Security Deluxe package, which was an extra $19.99 a month. This took care of most of the malware problem, but the firewall settings initially started caching EVERYTHING so that I couldn't see any changes that I made and couldn't administer my site as I needed. I was forced to call them again and wait on hold for an eternity to see what I could do, and even after finally turning off caching altogether (which they strongly recommend against doing, for some reason), I finally got my site somewhat working, although within a few months I actually had to rebuild the entire Drupal site again from scratch. Throughout all of this, their Website Security Deluxe package made my site slow down to a crawl. Additionally, I STILL got an automated "malware detected" email even despite the extra security package they talked me into paying for specifically for the purpose of preventing that from happening, and had to talk the phone rep into doing something about it on their end. They did fix it and remove all the malware, but even still my site was inexplicably bug-ridden and slow. Then in late 2019, my Drupal site suddenly wouldn't load again, and I had to yet again rebuild the entire thing. At this point I decided to take advantage of their $1/month hosting deal and got a free, different domain name and got set up with a full year of hosting, just to get a working version of that website off of that buggy server I was paying so much for. (I rebuilt a barebones site on the original $50/month plan just so the landing page was still there to receive the traffic.) The site did continue to work, without the constant malware attacks, but was once again inexplicably and excessively buggy. I really thought it was just Drupal causing the problem, but after a few more unnecessary billing issues came up with other sites, I decided to go to A2 Hosting and have them migrate my new site to their servers. Instantly, the bugs were gone. The BUGS were GODADDY. (I've been with A2 since mid-2020 and have had no site bugs and no malware issues at all.) One final thing that really bugged me, was that over the years, when I had an idea for a website, I would buy a domain name and hang onto it until I could get around to building the site I had in mind. Within 3 days (like clockwork), my phone would start ringing off the hook for 2 weeks straight from call centers in India, spamming me with their web services and various other scams. In 2018, after this happened several times, I bought a domain name and then decided to start using a handheld recorder and answering my phone on speakerphone, and collected many hours of me pranking incoming scam/spam calls. It's just too expensive to pay for private registration on every single domain name, so you could count on the scam calls within 3 days, every time. At the very least, Godaddy makes it incredibly easy for scammers to get your information within 3 days of buying a domain from them. At worst, they're partnered with these scammers (based especially on how I was treated by the last rep I spoke to, when finally decided to take my business elsewhere). I wouldn't recommend Godaddy to anyone, ever, unless you aspire to become a Jerky Boys knock-off and want plenty of incoming scam phone calls you can record every time you register a domain name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoDaddy Hosting: Don't do it. They're a huge company and I get the appeal, but do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoDaddy Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you? Godaddy doesn't "solve" problems. They CREATE problems, and offer paid solutions to those problems that don't work, which then need to be manually fixed by someone on the phone, if you're lucky and find them in a mood to be cooperative.
