Summary |
---|
While InMotion Hosting and GoDaddy offer many of the same types of hosting solutions, they really aren’t in the same league. InMotion consistently out ranks GoDaddy in every measurable category by both the team of HostAdvice experts, and actual customers who have reviewed the companies. While GoDaddy is a very well-known company, they seem to have forgotten that they need to put the quality of their hosting above the quality of their marketing campaign. For all of these reasons, and many others, declaring InMotion the winner in this comparison is a very easy decision.

" Ok Sir we will check and update you " and after some time they say yes our tech team is aware about this. ( Last 3 days with same issue ) I have more then 250 + blogs but they are not showing. When we ask them they said " we have check with technical team they said there is no data loss". We share Archive Url , IP pointing and some sample url . Every time one line Answer " we have check with technical team they said there is no data loss". When we ask them " Where is my blogs then " GoDaddy team - I will check and update After 15 to 20 min GoDaddy team reply " Thank you for your cooperation. we have check with technical team they said there is no data loss". Again same process and they always say the same. My team wasted more then 15 hrs in discussion. |

In October, my site was down for a several days due to Support's arrogance. My WP theme had a major update, which broke my site even though I built a Child theme. I requested a restore and gave Support the exact file from which to restore. However, support restored from a 2018 backup! (Another issue - support creates all these old folders on my File Manager when dealing with problems, then doesn't delete them). It's only the 2nd time in 4 years that I requested a restore. Support was adamant that I was wrong and the restore was correct and from the Oct 2020 file. We know what we've designed and built over the years, right? Finally after several days of my site looking incomplete - not really functional - and hours on chat, one support guy confirmed that the restore was from a 2018. He didn't know how that could of happened, even though I gave them the exact file name/date/etc. (I've built a staging site now.) If that wasn't bad enough for the October month, last week InMotion emailed to advise that I had to delete files as my account was too large, or it was being moved to another server. I'd have temp details until propagation was complete. InMotion provides "unlimited disk space"! I emailed twice to advise that I'd clear all the old folders (around 30GB) and heard nothing. Sunday just gone, I get another email saying the move was almost complete and not to make changes to my site or use temp details to make changes! I've been arguing with InMotion ever since that I didn't want my account moved and that I wanted to delete the 30GB of useless files created by InMotion, but it moved my account regardless! These are only a couple of problems that I've experienced in 4 years. I'm now looking at another host as I've had enough! |
