in general public opinion, godaddy is a good registra and hosting company.
I think the same 6 months back. but not anymore.

Here is list of problem that i have this host.

1. control panel faulty, and after entering login information, it bring me to error page. Support ask me to clear cache and try again. Not helping, just clear off my data.

2. control panel is always buggy. i always bump into error page, error 500 is most common. and they seem like never fix this. i faced this is both computer, from different network, same issue.

3. shared smtp relay server. not even have own mail.yourdomain for outgoing email. Setup to this securenet server is a nightmare for me. My email suddently cant send out email, and support said they can send.

4. All email to my mailbox get bounced back to sender. i spend hour to fix this and email support. Finally remove the email, and recreate it, solve the thing. felt like 'blue screen.. restart require" = waste of time.

5. outgoing email daily limit of 250 only. thats too little and too low.

6. buying domain with coupon, any coupon, dont get me any discount, same as last time. Maybe i holding too many domains now, and have to pay full price $9+. Sometime the billing keep generate error page, and i have to email to support for manual ordering of domains.

7. Lately the domain propagation took more than 12 hours. previously i just need couple of hours

I have hosting with hostgator, ixwebhosting, bluehost, lunarpages, exabytes.
and godaddy is definately the last in the list.

I've had a LOT of experience with them. I can say that for domain registrations, they are outstanding. Nameserver changes are FAST to go live and their prices are great, with coupon codes floating around all the time. Hosting, they are so-so. If you are looking to get a VPS (Virtual Private Server - one step down from a full-blown dedicated server) - FORGET IT! I am responsible for 42 sites and have seen and used several places to accomplish my hosting needs. If you waste your money on GoDaddy, you jeopardize your clients. You will find that support is non-existent and scripted. You will find that many control panel features that you find at 99.9% of the other places are not supported or implemented at GoDaddy. I won't go into detail on ALL of the issues I had with them, but I WILL say that they caused me nothing but problems. I could not even do copies of accounts from my existing server to their. They didn't and wouldn't activate this feature, nor would they do it for me. Domain Registrations? YES! Hosting? NO!
