ey sent me another email that I needed to renew my domain account for $15 a year. I decided to look for a cheaper service which I found at 1and1.com where the total cost for domain is $1 first year and up to 20 email addresses for $12 for the first year and $25 for both in succeeding years, so I signed up. When I went to Godaddy and asked for a refund of my prepayment for Sept 2017 to Sept 2018 they refused saying I requested the refund more than 30 days after I paid it. I feel very scammed by Godaddy. They asked me to renew 3 months early and then refused to refund when I switched to a new service prior to the start of my contract year.

have experienced many times, events in which my web server was down for minutes and sometimes for an hour or more.

I talk with godaddy support many times, and the only advice that I got is – purchase VPS or dedicated server.

In addition, each time that I my web server was not available; GoDaddy doesn’t send any kind of notification about this event.

I move on to another web hosting provider, and I’m very happy!!!

My web site performance was improved by 30%, and the web server is always up!

mple, I have had to attempt a domain transfer 4 times because they keep refusing it. They come up with a new excuse each time which they should have told me before providing me with the wrong information.

Like today they gave me the wrong EPP code. Their domain transfer instructions page is incorrect. They list 6 steps and say that's it at the end. It isn't because you then have to go any accept on a hidden page, otherwise they keep your domain. One big scam to keep you with them and keep trying to upsell.

Last year a clients website was offline for days too, we don't even host the site with them, just have the domain there. So they are incompetent as well as being scammers.

Support is useless, they have to pass me around the world to see notes that are only viewable in the country they were made.

They are spammers because of the ridiculous upsells that you are bombarded with. So many of my clients have useless add-ons like silly domain names and paying for email as well as hosting. Someone should sue them, there must be a case to make millions.

ossibly exist. I have written them many times (never got an answer) and called their tech support many many times and my comments and suggestions seem to fall on deaf ears. If you have a site where you use very few photos and also change them infrequently, this might not be an issue. But if you DO like to have lots of images and switch them out frequently - STAY AWAY from these products!!!

After this last time of trying to take off 20 photos and switch to new ones and it taking me almost an hour to delete the old photos, I have really had ENOUGH. With sites like Facebook allowing you to quickly upload, delete, switch around, move photos into albums and find them quickly - including photos that are actually text (pdfs) and SEE what they say - I do not and will not ever understand a web building service that does not allow these basic functions!! NO albums, so if you have say, 100+ photos, it is impossible to organize them.

Not only that, but to find a photo that has been uploaded, say, to move it to another place on your site or delete it, scrolling down through the Photo Browser keeps popping the browser up to the top - MANY MANY times until you are finally able to scroll down far enough. Once you have scrolled down, then you can only access ONE photo. If you want another from the former photos, you can not choose more than one, so you have to repeat this whole scrolling thing, where the browser brings you back to the top many times, before you can finally access the photo that was maybe next to the one you just selected or moved. No batch selecting.

You also can not view the Browser photos in anything but a very small thumbnail. So if say, you have a number of pdfs with the same general format and that are in text, you are unable to differentiate one from the other. In my case, I have pedigrees of my cats that in thumbnail format all look the same. It is impossible to choose one, based on the text content. So I find myself uploading the same pdf images over and over again - simply because I can not SEE them, they are too small to read.

Then again, you are unable to keep any images in folders, such as certain products or categories (T-shirts, cotton shirts or whatever have you).

Working with images within the Website Builder or Go Central is practically impossible and VERY VERY frustrating!! Even more frustrating is GoDaddy's complete disregard for listening to customers on these issues - and these services are EXPENSIVE!!! I'm sure I am not the only customer who deals with a lot of images on their site!! And if computers themselves can offer easy ways to find files and images and social media like Facebook can offer easy ways to organize, upload and delete files and images - WHY NOT GODADDY??? But they seem to not care and not want to listen.

Well, they are going to lose a long time customer when my contracts are nearing their end this next time - I have three sites with them and I doubt I will renew..

tent to the live site. Problem is, if the process fails (and it always does, i've learned) they blame it on your content and you are left with no options and they are happy to tell you that. Stay away and save your invested time.
