I have heared alot of bad things about GoDaddy, so i couldent think about how bad free hosting would be :-/

 

[crash]

top stuff its time we got it checked out and got some feedback

 

[siteseer]

free compared to what? Hosting is so affordable now, why tolerate ads or any space other than your content or your clients? Pro sites don't have host ads.

Yes Domain Professionals not Hosting Professionals kind of a joke when Domain Compaines try to get into hosting. I have some funny stories about Register.com and their hosting

Not bad its free, at least we know that w are being hosted by professioanls and know what they are doing.

How much space and bandwidth Godaddy is offering and from when this offer will be effective ?

 

[kiz9999]

sounds good. godaddy are a good website so it sounds like there free hosting will be alright.

 

[siteseer]

how generic will the builder be and also willl their ads show up? (shudder).
I remember what a problem loading homestead used to be with yahoo.

so maybe just as an incentive to buy the domain and then plot the under construction page...why charge?

Frattay tell us your stories.

Oh boy, here we go again. GoDaddy is getting deeper and deeper into places they should not be. I have lost alot of respect for that company!

GoDaddy is a good company and I respect them, however, I have heard a lot of bad reviews for their hosting. I had almost signed up with them; however, after reading all the reviews, I changed my mind. I haven't been with GoDaddy for hosting myself, I only have domains with them, and so I can't ensure the reliability of the reviews out there. However, I do assume that they are correct considering that there are more bad reviews than good reviews.
