UPDATE-I’ve changed my opinion.
Read more here….
I’ve had it!
I don’t care what anyone says.
I don’t care what the Big Daddy says.
GoDaddy sucks for hosting WordPress blogs.
I have quite a few there and I’m moving everyone of them.
Every time I update or edit ANYTHING I get an error message and I have to resend.
Most times the edit or update goes through on the resend.
Many times it doesn’t and I have to resend again.
It doesn’t sound like a big deal, does it?
Wait until you do 200 times in a day and you’ll understand what I mean.
You really don’t know what’s going on with your sites at GoDaddy unless you’re working on them all the time.
I use to have many static sites and I never had problems but I never really did much to them.
Once they were built, I didn’t touch them unless I made an edit.
Now I’m wondering how often they were down.
But with blogs, they are more hands on and require editing, changes etc….
Just yesterday, Dec. 9, for at least 60 minutes, I couldn’t update anything in 10 sites and 5 sites wouldn’t even come up. I kept getting a, “Sorry, we are doing maintenance, check back later” message.
This was about 6 PM. Who knows how often and how long this occurs and this isn’t something new.
It’s been going on since I switched to WordPress about 12 months ago or so.
Buy your domain at GoDaddy, they are the largest in the world and they have great coupon deals.
Then switch the name server to HostGator and host your site there.
You’ll have to wait about a day or so for the name server switch but it’s worth it.
It’s easy to do. I don’t have time to write about it now but leave me a comment and tell me what you want to do and I’ll answer with step by step instructions.
In summary, IT’S OKAY TO BUY A DOMAIN THERE BUT DO NOT HOST YOUR WORD PRESS BLOG AT GO DADDY.
Use HOSTGATOR!
