Godaddy is terrible. I do small business websites so I run across clients with GoDaddy all of the time. Their legacy "deluxe" hosting is as terrible as always.

Godaddy is terrible. I do small business websites so I run across clients with GoDaddy all of the time. Their legacy "deluxe" hosting is as terrible as always. Simple things like extracting zip files with their file manager will hang/fail at random. Their cpanel offering is terrible because your IO is throttled to a snail's crawl. 1MB/s is not enough for much of anything. Their managed WordPress group did a dog and pony at our meetup group when it launched. It had a good "we're listening" marketing spin. That service has turned to garbage as well. I tried migrating a site from a cpanel dev server to their hosting and it turned into a week long project because their import tool craps out when encountering mysql 5.6 or newer. Their tech support scripts don't acknowledge the problem so they will waste an hour of your day asking to "disable plugins" and try the default 2016 theme for migration when clearly that's not the issue. In general while their telephone people are nice enough, the antiquated versions of software (max php 5.5), over burdened servers, and severe resource throttling are reasons to avoid them at all costs.
