Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • GoDaddy is an amazing platform to be able to host a new website and against hosting service. The things I liked the most were: 1- GoDaddy offers a lot of web hosting services, you can create a new hosting to configure it with a new server like Apache or cPanel, in addition, you can also buy a new hosting service to host a website like WordPress, I really love the variety of accommodation that is within GoDaddy: 2- Another feature that I like about this platform is that you can buy a new domain with any type of Terminal at a very affordable price, you can buy a new .us, .com or .net domain at the lowest price in the market, this platform currently offers the best prices, in addition, within this platform you will get a large number of coupons that will help you obtain your domain for one year at a more affordable price. 3- The support service of this platform is one of the things that makes it one of the best, since it is quite efficient, to communicate with them you do not have to wait additional time, you can contact them by mobile phone, it is important to note that currently They do not have any kind of live support with any kind of Chat, but if they have real-time support through a phone call, you can call any number and you will be attended to in a few seconds of waiting: 4- The main configuration system for hosting services is completely easy to configure, which helps new users to access this platform and correctly configure their hosting service for Wordpress or for a panel. Starting a new website is one of the easiest things.
  • GoDaddy is currently the best platform to obtain a business domain, this is the platform that we have used to buy the domain of our company, I consider that buying a domain has been quite simple, in addition, there was never any type of problem with the payment method we use. One of the main things that I liked about the service provided by GoDaddy is that a fairly quick configuration of the domain servers, in addition, it provided us with a fairly easy configuration for the DNS, TXT and CNAME. Another thing that I liked about this platform is that it allowed me to transfer the entire domain to another service to manage it. The transfer of the domain was quite fast, this allowed me to configure it much more easily from another platform. In addition, it is also important to mention that I loved the very low prices that it manages for each domain, I consider that the prices that it offers for each of the .com or .net domains are quite low.
  • For us, having a correct hosting of our website and that all our clients and visitors can access the website without any slowness or limitation is very important. One of the main reasons why we started using this platform is because we were looking for a service that would allow us to host a fairly heavy website, we found that GoDaddy offered us a hosting service on this website at a very affordable price and with a panel quite easy to use. I liked GoDaddy's Hosting service a lot because it was able to support the large flow of visits that our website has, during a season we received approximately more than 2000 visits a day, and the hosting service of this platform was able to support all that traffic and in no time our website went down. Another of the main reasons that made me like the GoDaddy service is because this service offered me a large storage space to host my website, it is important to note that when hosting my website there was still more than half of space left over storage, so we have complete freedom to continue to store things and expand our website. I should also mention that I loved how much we saved by registering our domain with this company, we got a web domain plan for about a year, and they provided us with a discount of up to 50% for buying that domain, this was a real discount. good for us and that allowed us to save a lot when building our website. It is also important to mention that one of the positive things about this web hosting service is that you can monitor the service in real time, you can know exactly if your website is active, how much traffic it has received in the last days or weeks and also you can know how many active users at a specific time, GoDaddy It also offers a geographical view where you can see where the most access to your website is or in which region, you can know from which region there is the most traffic.
  • GoDaddy Web Hosting is great for all types of websites. From simple sites to very complex sites, it has been rock solid for me throughout the years. Any time I have a problem, tech support is right on it and able to help me out.
  • Took less than 5 minutes to find a suitable domain for a class project, and it was easy to set up the routing and a wordpress theme.

Cons

  • The main negative aspects of this platform are: 1- If for some reason you have not paid for your hosting service after the billing date, your website will automatically be terminated, in addition, each of the elements and files stored within the hosting panel will be automatically deleted and will not You will be able to recover them, this is quite negative since if for some reason you forget to pay on time annually, you will lose all the files of your website. 2- The email hosting service within this platform is extremely expensive, acquiring a new business email for your company is extremely expensive compared to other companies, I really do not recommend it, the price is very high for each email. 3- There are some occasions in which the platform blocks your domain temporarily to request your identity and new information to verify your identity, this is very negative since they place the domain you have purchased in Off status, also, if you do not send this documentation, they refund your purchase.
  • One of the main things that I did not like about this platform is that the interface takes a long time to load, I have noticed that when configuring my domain and configuring the servers that it uses, it takes a long time because the platform did not load correctly , on some occasions I had to log out and log in again for the configuration to load correctly, which is why I chose to transfer this domain to another platform, to have administration and configuration of the domain much faster, my main opinion is that this platform should improve the loading time of each of its configurations. Another thing that I did not like is that this platform also has various problems when it comes to showing the domain when you recently bought it, that means that if you buy a domain for your website, you will have to wait about an hour for the domain is enabled and you can use it correctly.
  • During our entire experience we witnessed much more positive factors than negative ones, however it is quite important to mention the negative factors that made it complete enough. When we are configuring our hosting service for the first time we had some confusion because we did not know how to use the development panel, we immediately contacted the customer service through a direct call, however we had to wait approximately 20 minutes to answer our questions. calls, this seemed like a long time to me as it was very urgent to solve this problem as soon as possible. In my personal and business opinion, the response time of the support team should be improved, since I did not have a good experience when I contacted them by direct call. Another of the things that must be improved within this web hosting service is the positioning in the search engines, I have noticed that when I look for my website in the Google search engine, it does not appear positioned first, despite the fact that the another company's name is unique. I would love for the ranking and SEO of my web hosting to improve accordingly, it doesn't matter if I have to pay additional fees to this company so that it can improve my web ranking, as it is currently pretty lousy.
  • My only complaint would be trying to get help online via their chat help. They do not seem as knowledgeable as those on the phone.
  • The cheapest domains are the ones with wacky top level domains, but that's not unique to GoDaddy.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We started using SiteGround a couple of years ago, and I must highlight that this platform has been great for storing and managing our website. The things I liked most about this platform were: One of the things I liked most about this platform was the fantastic prices it offers for website storage, the hosting system is great and very cheap. Within this platform, the prices are really competitive and it has better prices than any other hosting service currently. I loved the prices because I can store my website correctly and pay a one-year subscription within the platform, in addition, the hosting service is totally stable, at no time have I had any kind of downtime within my website, in addition, the hosting service also offers real-time analytics of each of the visitors that access my website. I consider the hosting system of this platform to be one of the best today. Another feature that I like about this platform is the way it offers me various certificates for my website, it offers me two free certificates, but I also have the option to pay for a higher quality and more credible certificate, another thing that I like is that this platform has a SiteScanner system, which is capable of completely scanning my website and the database, data from it, in order to find irregularities in the files or multimedia files, stored within this database, this scanning system is perfect, it is capable of eliminating any type of threat or irregularities that exist within my website. I also liked the excellent customer service that this platform has, this is one of the things that stands out the most within it, since customer service is completely instantaneous, you just have to access the Live Chat system to automatically connect with a support agent, so if you have any type of error or failure within your hosting service, you just have to access this Live Chat to get immediate assistance, it is one of the support services that I have liked the most on any other platform.
  • The first thing I liked about SiteGround is how fantastic their plans are, since the GrowBig plan allows me to store unlimited pages or websites, this allows us to create backup sites and store them in different domains for our company, the GrowBig plan is excellent because it offers that site storage capacity. Another thing I liked is that SiteGround has a very complete antivirus capable of detecting threats hosted on the website's hosting, this is incredible because it allows threats to be detected in time and eliminated without affecting the website's internal files. I also liked that SiteGround's hosting has such perfect integration with Email Marketing systems, this has been essential to get the most out of the usefulness of our website and generate quite striking campaigns for clients, it has been one of the most important aspects for us.
  • SiteGround is an incredible service to improve the hosting of any website, the main positive aspect that this platform has is the great hosting service that it offers to all its clients, this service, the web hosting service and the WordPress hosting service works perfectly and allows you to properly host any site occupying any storage space, the hosting service is quite easy to manage, in addition, another important thing to highlight about this platform is that it offers unbeatable, really this is the only so that I noticed that it is accessible, in addition, they offer a large percentage of discount to their clients, for which, whether monthly or annual, it will be completely accessible with a very low price. Another positive aspect of this platform is that it offers three types of certificates for your website, these certificates are completely free, in addition, they also offer premium certificates that cost some money, but with the free certificates you can add a complete certificate to your website. very quickly. Another positive feature is that this platform offers a referral system, which provides the user with up to three months of hosting their website for free just by correctly registering a new referral, which here was an annual plan within the platform. This is quite satisfying as I have been able to extend our annual subscription thanks to SiteGround's referral system. Another positive feature, this platform has an excellent antivirus system, which is capable of detecting threats that are included in the files of your website, in addition, it also works with the WordPress connection, so if you have any threats Within WordPress, the platform automatically detects this threat and temporarily disables the website.
  • SiteGround is an incredible hosting service, with the help of this platform we have been able to move away several sites that we have designed for our entire company, in addition, it is important to highlight the effectiveness of this platform for the hosting service, since the hosting of the website It is totally stable, which helps it to receive visitors constantly without any type of fall, in addition, this hosting service does not have any type of interruption during the day, which helps the web page to remain active throughout the day. day. Also, another of the things that I like about this platform is the user support system, this support system is one of the best I have seen since I started using software in my company, that platform has incredible support service, It answers any type of request in less than a minute, in addition, the support team is fully trained for the Hosting service, which will allow you to resolve any type of doubt regarding this platform in a matter of seconds. Another thing that I liked about this platform is that it has incredible discounts, the hosting service offered by this platform is efficient, and the fact that this platform offers discounts of up to 80% or 70% of each plan you choose is incredible. . In addition, I liked that this platform allows me to install up to three types of certificates to my web page by default, but it also allows me to import new certificates to my website, in addition, it allows me to have a complete statistic of the number of total visitors received on my website, without a doubt the hosting service is incredible.
  • Everything about SiteGround is a pro. Setting up WordPress sites is a total breeze, SiteGround pretty much does the whole thing. Making changes to DNS servers is easy, accessing customer service is easy, everything is just so easy!

Cons

  • This platform has provided me with innovative features when it comes to hosting my website, however, one of the negative things that stood out the most during my experience were: The platform, despite having a fully trained support team that answers your request in a matter of seconds, also has a negative aspect, the negative aspect is that when requesting any type of support for the WordPress or WooCommerce tool, you will have to pay a fee to access this type of support, SiteGround specialists have a fee for this type of support, they do not offer free support for the WordPress and WooCommerce tools, therefore, if you are a person who is designing a website for the first time and you do not have knowledge of WordPress, you will not be able to access free support from SiteGround. Another feature that I didn't like about this hosting service is that you can't transfer domains to this platform. You can use domains that are stored in other companies, just by changing the NameServers you can use that domain within SiteGround. However, if you want to transfer ownership of this domain from the company you have it with to the SiteGround platform, this won't be possible, since the platform doesn't have this domain ownership transfer service. The third feature that I think they should improve within this platform is regarding cache storage. This hosting platform stores a lot of cache within your website, which sometimes causes customers to not be able to see changes or updates in real time on your website. Therefore, I recommend that you constantly clear the cache stored within this platform so that your customers can get a more updated version of your website instantly.
  • Among the things I didn't like about SiteGround is that the servers are a bit slow in updating changes made to the website, meaning that if you make changes to the main interface, header or footer, these changes will be reflected on the website 2 to 3 hours later, these changes are not seen instantly, so even if you delete the cache in the browser you will still have difficulty viewing these changes. Another thing I didn't like about SiteGround is that this platform does not automatically generate backup copies of website versions, you must make these backup copies manually in case at some point you want to recover information from your website, this is a problem because if for some reason you lose relevant information, you will not be able to recover the information if you did not create a backup.
  • The first negative point of this platform is regarding the support service, previously I enjoyed real time, just by sending a request and waiting approximately 10 seconds, there was already someone assisting me in a Live Chat, however, this is over , the platform has changed the system (Customer Service), and currently you have to send a support ticket and wait to be answered, it should be noted that the approximate response time is one to two days, in addition, it is not received No type of notification when a person in charge has dealt with your ticket, therefore, you have to be attentive to the response obtained through the SiteGround website. The second negative aspect is the lack of tutorials within this platform, there is no way to learn correctly, within SiteGround hosting, there is no type of guide to help you understand the steps to follow to correctly configure the hosting service .
  • The main problem that this formal part has is that none of the web pages that are hosted within this hosting service will have to incorporate the www extension, which causes some visitors to not trust the page they are visiting. There is none way to add the www extension to the website that you have hosted within this platform, I consider this to be a rather critical negative point. Another of the negative things about this platform is that it has many configurations and you cannot modify the ports of your website and it can also modify the domains of your website, therefore, all the configurations that are on this site are complicated to use, so if you are a person who has no previous experience configuring a hosting service, you will have trouble adapting to the platform. Another of the negative things that this platform has is that if for some reason a virus or a threat has entered your web page that you are recently creating, all the services offered by this platform will automatically stop working, until you can eliminate the threat from your web page, I consider that this is something negative since the page is interrupted every time a threat has been found in the source code of your web page, therefore, this directly affects the visitors, since the web page does not It will be active temporarily.
  • If I'm being REALLY nitpicky, the SiteGround website itself could use some updates. Overall it just looks a little dated. Some of the features are buried in places you wouldn't expect or don't do what you would think they would do.
