BE AFRAID of GO DADDY!!! very AFRAID!!!

Oct 7, 2012 7:47AM PDT

I have been a GoDaddy user for several years. I signed up for their online web storage and their support was almost nonexistent. I emailed them to cancel the service and they sent back a set of instructions that I had to do myself to cancel the service. BUT when I signed up for the online storage all I did was call them, but when I wanted to stop it they make me work for them! I followed the instructions and a few days later I tried going onto my web site and all I got was the 'parked domain' display screen from GoDaddy. I emailed them and they said there was no web site online because I had cancelled my hosting services with them. BTW - I am fully paid with them for all my hosting services through the end of 2013 so why would anyone at GoDaddy think I would want to cancel all my services when I had just emailed them to cancel only their useless Online storage!!?? They have no direct phone support and their email support has been just a series of scripted 'canned' responses almost every time I have needed assistance. Now with this monumental screw up where they totally took down my web site I am positive the place is run by a total group of IDIOTS! I am looking for another web hosting company and my lawyer will deal with the money I lost by them taking down my site etc. My suggestion... stays as far away from GoDaddy as you can unless you like being 'screwed by idiots'!!! I wish you have a negative rating but I doubt negative numbers go low enough to describe my experience with GoDaddy!!
