Sure you can have multiple SQL databases with their Unlimited plan, but each SQL database is limited to 200MB. For most web application purposes, 200MB of SQL storage is more than enough.

Their Unlimited plan allows unlimited external domains to be hosted. This means you can have your domains registered at other registrar and still use Godaddy as hosting.

Good luck.

Im interested in shifting away from Hostgator, for the simple fact Im an ASP programmer, and I have no MySql experience. Ive just browsed over the hosting plans with GoDaddy, and it appears they support ASP and MS SQL which is great…however, I need to be certain that they offer unlimited domains, just like Hostgator does. And can I setup multiple SQL databases for each site????

Try without the quotations too. The discussions at webmastertalk says Godaddy is neither the worst nor the best. It is very hard to say which is best or which is worst. It really depends on what you need.

I think Godaddy is best for domain registration. Their hosting service is probably one of the better ones if you need unlimited domains hosting. I have more than 10 domains with them and a hosting account with Godaddy. So far the experience with Godaddy has been good.

You should Google: “web hosting / best vs. worst” with the quotations and read that article.

I don’t think this is specific to Godaddy only. All other registrars will charge high fees if you missed the deadline to renew your domain. This fee is not set by the domain registrars.

To avoid this complication with any domain registration service, do one of these:
1. Renew on time.
2. Make sure you have the latest working email with your registrar so they can send you renewal reminder email.
3. Use the auto-renew feature (although I change registrar every year just to save a few dollars thus do not want this usually)

Hope this helps.

Just started using GoDaddy because I was frustrated with my last host… Hopefully this isn’t a preview of what is to follow, but my account was just activated 2 days ago. I’m using their Win DELUXE package. Tonite, I wanted to upload a stats plug-in to my WordPress site and I cannot get FTP access to my account. I tried using their own FTP client, and Filezilla and both cannot find the server. The website is still coming up. I’ve FTP’d over 1000 files for the wordpress installation to it yesterday and got the site up and running without a glitch. But FTP appears to be down today.

I tried their email tech support…. estimated response time 7 hours! I could call for a response time of 5 minutes, but I’m not too concerned yet.

So we shall see!

Why bother risking your credit card. Use Paypal to pay instead. I always do that now when I purchase anything online…

With Godaddy, this is what you do:

1. In the shopping cart under “Select Payment Method,” choose “PayPal Account”.
2. Click “Checkout.”

So simple. It is also easy to cancel your hosting payment contract via Paypal, unlike if you have a contract paid via credit card.

I have hosted a site with godaddy for about 3 years and there was never a problem to complain of….
I am bending toward godaddy again for my next site I am building. But I think using just the last 4 digits of a CC is not strong enough for security verification. They should add some security questions there too.

I am a professional and I use their shared hosting service with no problem. I love their plan (Deluxe) with the unlimited Add-on domains and I have more than 10 domains with Wordpress installed. I would say they are better for professionals because their control panel takes some getting use to. They do not use cPanel, so some experience with web hosting jargons such DNS, FTP, PHPmyAdmin etc would help. I also heard their phone support is good although I never had any need to use them.
