Moved hosting away from #godaddy #sucks
This blog has moved away from GoDaddy hosting to bluehost. I don’t know how good bluehost is (so far it’s been OK) but I know for sure that GoDaddy is pretty darn awful.
Awful as in
- So slow that it’s a nightmare to be editing posts online. I had to do them offline and then copy-paste (and reformat), what a waste of time.
- So fragile that my pingdom monitor reports it unavailable for more than 5 minutes at least twice a day.
- So unresponsive that I’m sometimes ashamed to share permalinks to my blog in fear it would be offline. Why did I even pay them?
I didn’t wait for the one year I paid up front to end, just packed my stuff and moved over to bluehost. I don’t know how good bluehost is, but at least it’s fun again to be editing online and my pingdom monitor hasn’t told me anything bad yet, so knock on wood, looking good so far.
Congrats

yeah I want to leave them too but have trouble finding another Microsoft supporting host which looks ok.

I dealt with both companies. From my experience, I went from bad to worse when I switched from Godaddy to Bluehost. Hope it goes better for you.

Their control panel is crap besides all the things said here. I don’t have a Godaddy account but was ask to help a friend set up a website with a CMS. I through up my hands and said sorry man you are on your own.
Leave Godaddy Drop Godaddy, Curse Godaddy
