RE: GoDaddy | Help? - Peter L - 02-01-2012
Obviously if you pay for a year they give you a discount...why even pay for that long if you're unsure the forum will last that long? Although if you do happen to pay for a year...you'll never need to worry about hosting for a whole year, try and wrap your mind around that.. All of your websites can fit on there.
Suit yourself, it's your own money your ignorance is wasting. And if you're going to go with a different company...have some sensibility and don't choose GoDaddy. They are a shady company and supported and helped legislate SOPA to exempt themselves from it. They have terrible customer service, but of course there is always people who never run into problems. You call them the minority. The majority, as in most probably you, will regret paying for a year with this terrible company. Did I mention they supported and helped legislate SOPA? Mainstream, huge companies don't care about their customers. They don't need to because people like you Breshie will buy from them. But you are trusting them to have your website up 24/7, provide you support when you need it, and keep everything running smoothly. That is what you expect, yes...but let me tell you when something goes bad they won't give a crap. For a company that hosts your website and is the only reason it is online you're going to want *cough* need great and quick support. GoDaddy doesn't just lack this, it is almost like they completely oppose it.
Take your time with hosting decisions, especially for a yearly investment.

I just need a hosting company that's strong, reliable and cheap. I hear so many good things about GoDaddy that's why it was my first choice.

You hear what you want to hear. I just explained to why you to pick GlowHost and why not to pick GoDaddy.
Oh well, go give your money to GoDaddy. You'll just cause the GlowHost staff headaches probably.

I'm not saying I'm, definitely going with GoDaddy, I just need something a little cheaper than GlowHost.

My old site that was very cheap and super reliable was Hostable. They have excellent live support, and do a lot of things for you. Also it was pretty reliable.
http://www.hostable.com/ All the way.

Pretty sure I said if you paid for a year it'd be about $8/month and pretty sure I said it is silly to pay for a year anyway.

What was that supposed to mean?..
I think I will be going with them.

I had to cloud host my forums. They just get hit with DDOS all the damn time. Cloud basically eliminates the problem. If I get hit and the firewall/network cannot handle it, then it starts an identical server on a diff. network.

I went with GlowHost, so far I'm pretty happy with it. My domain didn't get activated for 8 hours so I contacted their support and they said they need to ring to confirm it was me, but I put a fake number in so they couldn't call me. My fault.

Well if you have issues with Glow Host in the future .. I would suggest using DreamHost.. They are pretty good too
I had a domain hosted with them for like 5 years now and 0% downtime..But I hope you like GlowHost and may your forum be successful
