GoDaddy Expert Review 2018
Written by: Marin Dujic
Go Daddy: Everything You Need
Go Daddy is currently the most popular web host after making a name for itself by spending a fortune on annual Superbowl ads. The benefit of being such a hit is that Go Daddy has to cater to so many different needs that you have a huge variety of options immediately at hand. However, there are caps to many of those features, so you can get a taste of whatever you need, but you may have to pony up more dough if your appetite isn’t satiated. Not only is GoDaddy’s pricing is great, but the company.also delivers to experienced webmasters with a nice set of useful tools at hand. Its e-commerce options are especially robust and convenient, making growing your business with this host possible and simple

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | Unlimited bandwidth is allowed, even on the basic plan. |
| Disk Space | The basic plan includes 10 GB, but there is an unlimited option in the highest-priced tier. |
| Website Builder | GoDaddy doesn’t use another company’s website builder; they created their own. You get a 5-page website created in less than a minute for free. If you want to tweak it and add extra pages, that’s perfectly fine, but it’ll cost you. |
| Email Accounts | Email is limited at all levels, and the basic package limits you to 100 email addresses with 100MB storage. At the top tier is the allowance of 1,000 email addresses with 1 GB of storage. Email accounts are limited at all levels: 100 addresses/100 MB storage for Economy, 500/500 for Deluxe, 1000/1 GB for Ultimate. |
| Shopping Carts | Multiple e-commerce solutions are available, including osCommerce, ZenCart and Pinnacle Cart. |
| Stats | For statistics, Analog is available, and for interface, Report Magic is available. |
| MySQL Database | In terms of MySQL Databases, an unlimited number are allowed, but there is a 1 GB cap on each. |
| FTP Accounts | Each account is allowed 50 FTP users, and there may be a limitation of 1 account. If that will be an issue, talk to support to see if you would have that cap. |
| Multiple Domains | Unlimited external domains are allowed, but the basic plan limits a user to 25 subdomains and one website. At the top tier, a user is allowed unlimited websites, but is limited to 400 subdomains. |
