I have designed websites since the early ‘90s and have used many tools to do so while training business owners to manage, maintain, and edit their site(s) using custom templates and various website builders. Each has it’s own particular nuances however GoDaddy is streamlined beginner-friendly and has Top-Notch Customer Assistance available 24/7 which goes a long way when you are frustrated and just need it to work. Websites can be tricky but GoDaddy is the Mack-Daddy of them all! Ultimately, a great value for Small Business-Owners or Start-ups NOTE: I have no direct affiliation with them. I am just an end-user with a unique perspective from the experience of the customer and having clients that I have often recommended their services to and they have always been more than pleased.

Use this to take payment for work that was completed. They kept the money forced me to give them a bunch of stuff that made no sense to me, but I did 35 days after this after trying to text them email them and they don’t respond and then when you text them, they’ll respond, but if you don’t text them right back, it starts over and you have to give all the information again, and have my own work that I do on the side so I could not get through a conversation with them in a day in the end, even though I had the manager of the business that paid me for the wages I did and I had sent them picture of my checking account showing them. This was the first time I’ve ever taken payment for work because I just started doing my own subcontract work. I sent them everything that I could that they asked for then their response in the end. Was we closed your account sorry if you don’t agree with what your options are, have us hold the money during our review process which is 120 days and they’ve already held it for 30 something and then you get what’s left or they can refund the money but you can do this within the first 45 days and then when you tell them to refund the money, they don’t respond to you. They just ignore your email these guys are cons that they can hold onto money so they can use it to make money off of it. Do not fall for this.!!!!!!!!!

Honestly in the beginning I loved this service. Being able to create a pay link to receive payment had become my method of choice being that my assumption was that GoDaddy gets its cut off the top and then sends my portion directly to my account. However the truth is much more sinister. The platform will take its cut immediately but force you to show all of your banking transactions & info for the last 3 months to “help” with a payment dispute that never happened. It’s just dishonest to blatantly lie to your customers and label it help or safety. I do not use the paylink for help or safety. I expect them to make money off of taking payments and send me my portion directly. Somehow they are hold my money for work I did and refuse to deposit it without seeing my banking information I’m not comfortable sharing.Update John from the team is awesome and helped me understand at a personal level. I recommend calling instead of using the chat. Talk to a rep who understands

I am a godaddy website user. I have been with godaddy for almost a decade. They refuse to talk to me from the technical support team. They have been blaming apple products for their issues. Constantly today asking me to switch products to different brand devices. Once your website is going and the store and adding products is not working for 3 days they don’t even care to talk to me about the issues from technical support. They blame other departments. One even blamed apple products. This has been a horrible experience. It’s not the cost of their products that has failed me. It’s my time. They refuse to help. It’s been 3 days now and can’t upload products. They should be ashamed of themself and everyone contacting me with updates. Instead they hide behind computers, they work from home and can’t help from home, that’s what I was toldToday. I have so many concerns about that but don’t really care. Buying selling domains is something they should continue doing. Websites and applications they should throw in the towel. So sad.
