Latest negative review	DON'T EVER MAKE USE OF... Jul. 1, 2021 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 They are the worst of all webhosting platforms. I mean i really hate their services and server uptime. I bought the shared wo... More rdpress hosting, Now i can't manage the product i bought, each time i click on the link to manage it keeps on throwng off an error. On multiple occasion too, my website has displayed "server temporarily unavailable" whenever i load it. I mean what sort of shitty webhost is this. If you buy their services, you will likely regret doing so. Don't ever use godaddy. Spread the word!!! Less	No support Jun. 30, 2021 Reliability 6.0 Pricing 4.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 Their support after they were hacked does not exist. After they sent out request to change all passwords for our account, we ... More started getting rejections to our e-mail. I contacted support and placed a ticket, I had to jump through hoops before they would even think about looking into the problem. After hoop jumping they replied twice that they had resolved the problems. Not true! The e-mail were still being rejected. Their last reply I bothered reading stated "We think you problem is SFP is not custom for your domain and to contact the owners of the domain rejecting the mail for more information" . I did a simple test on a couple of "SPF checker" site to find out there was no SPF. As this domain was setup by them 2 years ago and we had no problems with SPF rejections until they were hacked, I wondered how the SPF entry was deleted. After a couple of weeks they did not even bother to do any thing to resolve the problem. I fixed the problem myself and will begin moving my servers and about 20 other customers to another host. What a vwaste of time dealing with poor or no support. Less
