How is GoDaddy as a host?

We are considering moving our web site to GoDaddy for hosting.

I was hoping to get some feedback from others who have used their hosting
service.

Thanks for any help.

Re: How is GoDaddy as a host?

There have been numerous reports in this newsgroup over the past couple of
years that GoDaddy is nothing but problems.

Re: How is GoDaddy as a host?

What FP features that require the FP extensions are you using?

Re: How is GoDaddy as a host?

Steve,

Thanks for the report. How much traffic do your sites receive? I want to
make sure they don't oversell the bandwidth to the point that things run
slow.

Re: How is GoDaddy as a host?

Thomas,

We use FrontPage for our half dozen sites. I would be hard pressed to tell
you the FP Extensions we use as the sites were built some time ago.

Are there certain FP extensions that don't do well on GoDaddy?

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Re: How is GoDaddy as a host?

GoDaddy has issues not only with proper functioning of the extensions, but
provides very little support when it comes to problems, and always places
the blame elsewhere. This, according to reports we've had in this
newsgroup.

For the most part, many people finally end up changing to a host that can
properly administer and support the extensions.

Re: How is GoDaddy as a host?

There are certain function, such as processing forms via the FP Form Handler that are not supported
or support completely, etc.
