Why Godaddy Hosting Sucks

I was with Godaddy for almost 3 years for hosting. Super low costs, typically you can pickup the phone and call somebody. I found that half the people I talked to knew less about webserver then I do. Then when I finally thought I found somebody that knew something about there servers, and suggested some new services to take care of the “SLOW” issues and FTP disconnects given that I was using more bandwidth then I was allowed under the “unlimited” package… didn’t make sense but I tried it. No beans, still had issues all over the place. Website down, random files that got pushed back to previous versions, security changes without notification…. but the worste thing that can happen is websites that go down, which happened 5 times over the 3 years where it was down for multiple hours at a time. E-commerce sites MUST be live 24/7, especially with time sensitive sales and all.

So words can say alot, but this pictures worth a thousand words:

See attached document, where on the first attempt at this websites WPM calculator I scored well above the average. Which makes sense, given the fact that I’m on the computer about 16-18 hours a day.

Which is better? Well some argue that Firefox is a resource hog. Here you can see the truth about chrome vs Firefox with the EXACT same 3 tabs open in each browser. Don’t be fooled by chrome’s ability to separate its tabs into multiple programs.
