The only way to get GoDaddy’s Attention is to Take Your Shirt Off

Get GoDaddy's Attention

OK guys, I have talked before so many times about moving to another hosting server rather than GoDaddy Slow sharing servers and the bad costumer service!

So today I got a new web hosting account on BlueHost.com which has the best reviews on the internet and WordPress best hosting server.

The only way to get GoDaddy’s Attention!

First, let me tell you about their reply to my support ticket that pissed me off, I was having this error message on all my WordPress blogs admin pages “An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request”, Even my FTP account login works once and not connecting 10 times!

So.. after searching a little bit I discovered that this is because the server is too slow, and as usual they said that they didn’t see anything wrong with my websites and everything is working just fine from their side (this happen every time I contact with them when I have problems!), and they asked me to cancel my hosting plan and go for the new Grid hosting plan, this means I will have to move all my websites to the new hosting plan to get a faster hosting service, and this thing pissed me off to the max because I will never ever do this painful thing on their servers again,  so this is what I thought it’s the time to move on and leave to another hosting server with another company!

I was trying to find a coupon that will fix the prices of BlueHost.com hosting for me as I knew that I must pay for 12 months.

Oh! And let me tell you before the post ends about the code I am using for backing up all my files at once, of course I couldn’t use GoDaddy file manager that limits files backup to 20MB only, so I had to use the special PHP script that really works to backup GoDaddy files!

    I moved my 100-ish blogs from GoDaddy to 1&1 as registrar BECAUSE I don't want to support the skanky advertising. I want to work with a professional outfit and for many reasons, GoDaddy didn't fit. .-= Alison Moore Smith´s last blog ..6 Steps to Startup with WordPress: The Guide for the Wannabe Blogger =-.

      Thank you Alison for sharing your story with us, 1&1 seem to be a good hosting and I will add it on top of my list when I decide to get another hosting, I think that we should have more than one hosting account, at least someone like me who likes to play around and make some tests ;)

      That is one of the most annoying thing about godaddy why the hell on earth would you want to advertise on the dashboard of a blog owner i used to host an 1and1 they were fabulous my only drawbacks was that their windows hosting platforms are very expensive compaaring to godaddy but admin panel brilliant godaddy's admin panel rubbish .-= lawmacs´s last blog ..Merry Christmas to You All =-.
      • Alison Moore Smith says:
        We use 1&1 for domain registration only. I never register and host with the same company. We still serve a number of our sites, but lately have been using FatCow as our host. Great prices and really good customer service. .-= Alison Moore Smith´s last blog ..6 Steps to Startup with WordPress: The Guide for the Wannabe Blogger =-.
        • Hesham says:
          Ah! OK, I got it now, actually hosting your domains a way from the hosting server is the best way to do it! Thanks a lot Alison, you have added more value to our post here ;)

        GoDaddy's admin panel is so complicated and so confusing!

    I guess it's a lesson learned. A bad experience may not be all a bad thing. Wish you best in the new start and I'm sure you'll have good days coming your way. @wchingya Social/Blogging Tracker .-= Ching Ya´s last blog ..Seesmic Desktop Is Ahead of the Game with Twitter Lists Integration =-.
    • Hesham says:
      It's a big lesson, and I feel good about it now as I have experienced another hosting service, so I won't be able to learn unless I got that problem! So sorry for the late reply, I am just taking around here on the blog and checking who was kind to add a comment on our blog ;) Thank you so much for your wishes and taking time to comment Ching Ya, glad allways to hear from you.

    I think most web hosting companys' at some point become complacent when dealing with thier customer i used to host with 1and1.com and had to move my website because of slow connection they had fantastic customer support now unfornately i am hsoting on godaddy.com my biggest problem so far is their control panel which is filled to the brim with crap. However back to famousbloggers.net looking brilliant so far have patient we will get there
    • Hesham says:
      I heard about the 1and1 hosting from a friend of mine, he says it's a good hosting, anyways it's so weird, it seem that all web hosting sucks, I think we need to move our blogs every 2 years to a new database or maintain the database by our selves! .-= Hesham´s last blog ..Famous Bloggers are Driving Me Crazy! =-.

    • Hesham says:
      The best thing to do when you own a blog is to always backup your database and files! I have learned this because I lost my data, so now I am doing it to feel safe, no body grantee anything these days! Good luck! .-= Hesham´s last blog ..Famous Bloggers are Driving Me Crazy! =-.
