They offer extremely affordable prices. I guess I am weird or something, but I always want my clients to get the best deal they can on all business-related necessities. I know that anyone can get a domain for, on average, $9 at GoDaddy, but I work with web design companies that charge their clients anywhere from $30-$50 to buy them a domain name (most of the time at GoDaddy). So basically, they are screwing their clients out of $20-40. Now charging a little more is ok because of the hassle, but not that much.
- There are discount/promotional codes every where! Just type “GoDaddy Discount Code” in to Google and you will find discount codes. My favorite is DealTaker.com‘s promo codes. I use them non-stop. This means that you can order hosting, domain names, shopping carts, SSL certificates and more and save up to 20%. The prices are so low already I am shocked they allow people to use these codes.
- Hosting is SUPER cheap, yet dependable!
- Ditto for Servers
- Their web site builders are very affordable, attractive and easy to update/maintain.

OK, there is my “I love GoDaddy” blurb. I only recommend things I truly believe in and GoDaddy is one of them. I trust them and their 24/7 phone support is the best support system I have dealt with ever. Every once in a while you may get a jerk. Just hang up and call back (1-2 minute wait) and you will get a nice person. I have only talked to jerks 3-4 times in the past 2 years.So anyone out there that needs these services and wants to save money, while also having reliable service, GoDaddy is for you!
(FYI- I build Website Tonight sites for people. Here is an example of a template that I only added text to (my site) and the exact same template built for a local restaurant. Look at how customizable it is) her re some other client sites:

I use GoDaddy at work for about 100 websites. I find it a bit annoying to weed through all the advertising to actually checkout but you can’t beat the price and eventually get use to where to click. Your websites look great!
