Question

What do you thing about GoDaddy Managed Wordpress hosting?

Jan 21, 2014 6:10PM PST

Hey

I was using GoDaddy linux hosting and I didn't really like it because of it's slowness so I moved to BlueHost and now I am thinking of going back but do you think the new GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting is better than BlueHost and Linux hosting and what do you thinking about it?

Thanks

Speed can be impacted by so many things
Jan 22, 2014 1:57AM PST

Your network, your server's hardware, your configuration, your location, your application, whether you employ a caching system at the network/server/application level, etc.

The only way to know for sure is to take your specific product and host it on a specific environment, then test out the speed and go from there. Anything other than that is really just speculation.

I do believe that different plans and tiers at one company, GoDaddy for instance, will give you different kinds of performance, because you do get what you pay for. The question is whether it will be enough?

My opinion is
Jan 24, 2014 1:08AM PST

that GoDaddy is trying to become, and in many ways already is, a one-stop shop. They offer domains, a website builder, DNS management, web hosting, email services, and more. If someone is looking for a all-in-one solution, in other words, one company that give them the five things they're looking for, GoDaddy meets that goal perfectly and is probably a good choice.

In my experience though, a company that takes on this many different things, has a hard time excelling in each of these offerings. The bigger you are, the more you offer, the harder it is to manage.

If you compare that to a company that does one or two things, and their entire business revolves around it, chances are they are going to be much better at it. That's of course not always true, because it ultimately depends on the business, but generally speaking, they try to be the best they can be and continue to innovate in their area.

All that said, if your #1 goal is performance, you need to look for a VPS, because you'll be inherently limited with a shared server, and then find a company whose core business is to sell hosting, manage servers, and prides themselves on their performance.

Yes, I also see many negative reviews from forums about godaddy services. I dont know but it seems their services is declining, many people complains about their slowness server, website down. I personally use asphostportal.com, they are good in .net. I also see they support wordpress hosting. You may check their hosting plan for complete information. good luck for you.
