I have been recently hosted some of sites at GoDaddy's servers ... Their Linux hosting plans (Economy and Delux hosting plans) have made me disappointed because of incompetent technical support from GoDaddy. The bad experience that will make end the hosting of my pages at GoDaddy, is that their Linux servers don't support PAD-enabled shareware download site created with ASP's (Association of Shareware Professionals. http://padkit.org ) as submission form is not capable to submit PAD file (XML file). Godaddy is a big name with very poor technical support. What is your view ahout GoDaddy.

Godaddy hosting is designed for the average beginning user or the experienced user with simpler sites and offers an excellant value for the money. It is not designed for power users or anything fancy.

Sound like your needs may have out-grown what they have to offer.

I dont believe they have poor tech support, but their hosting service is limited, especially if you are an advanced web master.

Godaddy is a domain registrar first of all and all other services come as an option. I have 2 hosting accounts with them now and they are indeed very simple starting from login to hosting account and finishing with internal ftp file manager. There is even no CP like Cpanel or Plesk. The hosting solution is deffenitely for starters.

Yes, I agree with the users who have replied so far. Godaddy is an excellent company for domain register, however their hosting service is quite new and they do offer standard hosting services. If you need specific configurations for scripting etc., their tech support doesn't understand your problem or send you pre-structured answers just like FAQ questions and answers.

If you are not going to host a complex web site, their pricing is pretty competitive.
However, i do not recommend if you have complex scripting in your web site.

Godaddy is good if you can manage your server. They dont offer managed hosting and thats clearly mentioned. If you are good enough to manage the server, they are cheap and reliable. I have 2 dedicated servers with them and, more than happy about it.

I dont quite understand your requiremnt, but really you cant expect the tech service to install your software on a dedicate d server unless its managed. Its your fault that you dint understand what you are getting, it seems.
