GoDaddy Hosting: Are they good?
I just found an excellent hosting price for my websites:
GoDaddy 100GB space, and
1,000GB data transfer, with
unlimited domains,
for just 6.99/month.
Any opinions about GoDaddy hosting?

The hosting is fine, in my opinion. I have several Web design clients hosted there, and the uptime is great. My only complaint would be that the control panel can be a little bit cumbersome. However, they are in the process of updating it, so even that aspect is improving.

I have personally used godaddy, and I have a friend thats been with godaddy for a while (I designed his website). He has constant problems with downtime and during peak times it takes a couple of minutes to load his site. I would highly recommend staying away from them, but unfortunately he prepaid for 2 yrs of hosting...

GoDaddy is a public company, unlike 99% of the hosts out there. So you could do a lot worse I suppose, at least you're dealing with someone who is credible and who will answer the phone when you call.

Godaddy are a good choice for domains, but I honestly would not recommend them for hosting.

Well there have been lots of mixed +ve and -ve reviews about godaddy hosting , so it comes down to your "LUCK" in the end, cause i think there are 50% bad reviews and 50% good reviews. So if you go by numbers its just matter of ur luck .
12+ years -same website , new server [SSD Inside] providing shared/reseller hosting only !
These things we do not provide/offer : Unlimited Storage ! Unlimited Bandwidth ! But Why? Cause, we were unable to put such a large number on our pages, it just would not fit.
So check out the numbers that actually fit >> << the page as well as your budget too !

It depends on your expectations, too: if you're expecting power hosting, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. GoDaddy.com is a power player in the budget hosting field, and they serve the needs of simple Websites very well.

I said this in another recent GoDaddy thread. I personally wouldn't use a company whose core business isn't web hosting. GoDaddy's core business is domain registrations, not hosting.

For basic web sites I would say godaddy is going to handle it just fine but if your site is dynamically intensive or if you need anything custom then I'd say go for another host.

they answer support emails quickly and they pick up the phone! great. however they people one the phone don't seem to know if you're calling about godaddy or one of their many other companies (interesting).
