    Honestly, no one should be using GoDaddy (or Bluehost, domain.com, etc). Ever. They’re only big and well known because of unethical practices. Use a local hosting company whenever possible (also usually much more affordable since they have to find ways to compete with the big names, and usually offer expert support since the server staff/owners themselves usually do the support due to limited funding).

        That doesn’t look local, looks more like a national company. But I don’t speak the language.

        I meant specifically the typical local techie who runs an open source server solution for the local businesses and hobbyists.

    I warn everyone I know to avoid GoDaddy. Mostly because of their shady billing practices and their confusing proprietary management software. I guess poor security can be added to my list.
