GoDaddy is one of the oldest domain registrars and web hosting companies around. Founded in 1997, the company is now the largest ICANN-accredited registrar in the world, and you’ll likely have come across many adverts for it online over the years. It’s the go-to place for many people who just want to buy a domain or hosting package quickly.
I’ve been buying domain names for the past 20 years or more, and that includes via GoDaddy in the past. I’ve also reviewed many hosting plans and other web services so I know what to look for. This GoDaddy review is based on my hands-on testing and personal experience with GoDaddy. I’ve bought domain names, looked at how good the support options are, and kept an eye out for any unwelcoming upselling techniques. I’ve also spent time with other domain registrars to see how GoDaddy compares.
