Hi Jason,

The same issue with you, can you please let me know how many days it took for them to restore the database again. We have given a request to restore, do we need to tell go daddy support guys again and again to restore to happen. how did you resolved this issue faster? Please give me quick reply asap.

Thanks,
Nages

it’s really very sad. Godaddy charges $150 for restoring database. its not good thing. Customers of Godaddy should read my comments before buyin hosting from Godaddy.

what i feel is if godaddy don’t have Recycled facility in its control panel They shouldn’t charge $150.

either they should improve their Cpanel functinality.

i would say godaddy cpanel has poor restoring feature.
i would not suggest anyone to buy godaddy hosting

I recently had a mishap on a website that I host with godaddy.com. I accidentally deleted a database. Websites are not my full-time job and this was my mistake….

However, even though godaddy backs up all files with a history feature, they do not automatically backup their databases. As a result, one accidental click of a button either would have lost me 2 months of data or cost me $150 for godaddy to restore.

Again, I know this was my mistake, but websites are consistently gathering data and should be backed up regularly, not as a manual process. If I was given the option of backups when I purchased the hosting, I would have gladly paid. Instead, I am forced to pay $150 and wait 5 days for the restore to happen. This is pretty sad service, if you ask me.

On top of this, this process cost me 1 hour on the phone and neither the price or the restore time were negotiable. Again, poor service. Maybe godaddy should move some money from marketing over to service and systems development.

they have reliable hosting and the support is excellent. Prices may not be the absolute lowest but they have a lot of discounts and such that they make it worth it..

i really like their hosting

I have to agree with Terence, although it’s not a terrible hosting the moment you want to use the database a slowdown is immediately noticeable. Even for standard things like a forum or something the results were poor on godaddy.

Well. Personally, their mysql is too slow and their control panel is not as easy as Cpanel.

It’s just not as reliable as ANHosting.com, which I have hosted for few months now.

Go Daddy’s hosting is fine, but if you need reliable email with your domain, forget this vendor. They’re so aggressive about blocking what they think is spam that they block a ton of legitimate business mail.
