Haven't read the article (requires registration) but I am with GoDaddy for a year. Frankly, it has driven my blood pressure up to the sky.
The is just bloated and slow. Why I must click on Sign In button on the right, to get a drop-down thing with the inputs to the left ? Are you kidding me ? I shouldn't click on a button to unlock the form.
The cPanel ? You have to click through a shit-ton of buttons to do the simplest things. Click My Account, click Hosting, then I have to click "Launch" to get to the point...
When you try to register a domain, somehow, some things are checked by default and God forbid you don't check how much money they're going to debit you before you check out.. So you unclutter the order from all the crap that magically got added. If I remember, they tried to charge me a second time for the "Domains by Proxy" service (I'm not sure) which I already had (since it was simply renewing my hosting, and not the domain which is still valid).
I don't know.. It just left a bad taste in my mouth, and bear in mind that it's the first company I deal with, so I don't have any other reference point of greatness to compare it to, still, I think it sucks.
Their support articles don't take into account shared hosting or something. Nobody tells you that you can't do stuff if you don't have a dedicated server unless you specifically ask, which you don't at first because you want to figure things out before you bother a human being.. Which means countless hours spent reading about an issue and searching the web. It's good in the long run, since I'm learning, but the info should've been there. If you have a shared account, you can't do this. One line that would've saved me so much effort.
Click, click, click, click. Bloated interface that makes it really slow to load. Bad UX design. I'm as mad as hell.
Next company will be SiteGround. I've seen the ad on htmldog.com. The site is greatly done. I got the link from ESR's article (How to Become a Hacker). And since ESR is referring htmldog, and htmldog is referring SiteGround, they get points of confidence in my naïve, newbie opinion.
Grrrrrrr !
