For SSL, you generally need a dedicated IP address, not a dedicated host. Newer versions of the protocol allow for multiple SSL certs on a single IP, but most places don't do that. If you have only 1 SSL cert, you probably are fine. Godaddy's servers are highly variable in performance. So you may have periods where your site is unusable. As a bootstrapped startup, you presumably have SOME money. I wouldn't use Godaddy just because they're cheapest, though -- spend your money on hosting before anything, as your website is your product. And as google reminds us, your website's performance is also part of your product.
