    Considered Both Products

    Chose Bluehost
    Bluehost is more expensive, but they offer a more complete set of tools and seem far better equipped to handle WordPress sites. We wanted the ability to grow our site if necessary and felt Bluehost offered more potential than GoDaddy for long-term support.

    Chose Bluehost
    GoDaddy & Network Solutions are both priced similarly. I recommend Bluehost over both of these because of its support and upgrade cycles. NS hasn't been updated in what seems like a decade. GoDaddy, on top of its shady advertising and predatory behavior, has terrible support.

    Chose Bluehost
    I originally started in Bluehost when I took on a portfolio of existing business websites to manage. In an effort to consolidate my client base into one hosting service, I opted to move hosting and domains to GoDaddy, who is my preferred hosting service. When I started the …

    Chose Bluehost
    I found that Bluehost had a better UX and better prices. It was easier to navigate, easy to update key settings and the 1 touch Wordpress install and automatic Wordpress updates (at the time) made Bluehost a better choice. Also, GoDaddy was having issues with uptime at that …

    Chose Bluehost
    I found WordPress installation to be easier with Bluehost. 1&1 offers a monthly payment plan whereas you have to pay for the entire year with Bluehost.

    GoDaddy
    Chose GoDaddy
    Whenever new clients come to me for website development, I begin our relationship by asking about domain registration and website hosting. I cringe when they say they use GoDaddy and often warn them that additional time and effort may be required to accomplish their goals. …

    Chose GoDaddy
    With GoDaddy: I can always expect that their support will be helpful and positive.
    • That I can reach operators by phone or chat
    • That I can find my domains and host in one place.
    • That I can also purchase and access email for myself and my team.

    Chose GoDaddy
    If you want to host your a little mom and pop shop's website, any host will do. Use Bluehost or one of the many other CPANEL hosts out there. If you're in the buisness of doing serious web applications or hosting significant products or sites, then go with Rackspace or AWS. I'm …

    Chose GoDaddy
    Best customer service and fees when first becoming a client. Very helpful, supportive, and full of kindness when making website hosting changes. Follow up and good product offering. When I called to begin using the service they were helpful and switched it over for me at no fee …

    Chose GoDaddy
    If you are looking for a bargain, and are okay with shared hosting, then GoDaddy is perfect, there are 'cheaper' hosting companies out there, however, GoDaddy is by far the most for your money in terms of inexperienced users being able to navigate their way around hosting and …

    Chose GoDaddy
    GoDaddy is by far the top company. HostGator comes second but we choose GoDaddy over HostGator because of the customer service. The other ones are terrible. Bad hosting, websites go down frequently and are not great at customer service. GoDaddy does a fantastic job and really …

    Chose GoDaddy
    I actually select SiteGround Web Hosting over GoDaddy. Siteground is faster, has better security, ability to manage cache through the cpanel and better customer service.
