GoDaddy sucks « Lunacy Unleashed

 Ha ha! this is really interesting blog with its posts from GoDaddy support. Check it out:

This will be an irregularly updated posting of reasons why GoDaddy sucks.

1. Their shared Web hosting service is cheap — perhaps too cheap. Their technical support people are utterly clueless and unable to assist with the most basic of issues, and throw something more complex at them, and they break out the “we’re sorry you didn’t like our service” form letter.
2. GoDaddy’s shared Web hosting uses a reverse proxy/HTTP accelerator which mangles HTTP headers, making all but the simplest Web applications difficult or impossible to run. GoDaddy refuses to fix this.
3. GoDaddy doesn’t run a proper whois server. It directs people to visit a Web site, instead of returning the proper whois information.
4. Update: GoDaddy customer service representatives troll blogs and make the company look bad.
5. Update: GoDaddy network admins will wipe your virtual dedicated server account if it gets hacked, before you have a chance to take a backup or attempt to salvage any data from it.
6. Update: GoDaddy hosting gets hacked and the company covers it up.

Update:
If you want a VPS, this is where I use. I also have a dedicated server from these fine folks.

And I’ll give anybody who tells me they’re a current or former GoDaddy customer 10% off my normal rates for scripting, Unix admin, etc. (Which are already far less than ripoff $200 anyway!) except for anything on GoDaddy hosting.

That’s good enough for a start. What other reasons have you found for hating GoDaddy?
