So.. you just started a blog, or a digital asset, website, whatever. Now you need to host it somewhere. You have so many options in the internet to choose from. Maybe you know what you need technically, but there are so many parameters that you need to take under consideration before you choose hosting for your blog. For example, price, kind of storage – shared or dedicated, VPS and etc. In this post I will review godaddy hosting plans. It’s only my opinion. You can read and follow my advice, or not. it’s all Up to you.
Godaddy’s hosting plans – generally speaking
If you’re a beginner – Godaddy hosting plans can be good for you. Go daddy’s hosting plans include the basic plan for 3.99 per year. The following year will cost 5.99$ to renew. It includes a free domain and a matched email address. It’s totally ok and sufficient if you only have one blog or one website, and you’re a beginner. (it’s a lot like what bluehost is offering at a cheaper price – right here).
Godaddy actually offers 4 different hosting plans as you can see below. Here it is:
Godaddy’s economy hosting plan – great for beginners
If you only need one site hosting, I assume you’re a starter. Maybe You’ve just opened your blog, or online store. Whatever you did – you probably don’t want (and don’t need) to pay a lot for hosting. The Godaddy economy plan is an ok plan to start with. It also installs in a one click installation the wordpress setup. This is great if you still don’t have a blog but you want to have one, and want someone to install it for you. To make a long story short – It’s an ok price for an ok plan if you’re a starter and only needs your blog to “have an affordable home for the next months”.
Godaddy’s advanced hosting plans offers “increased proccessing and speed” – what does it mean exactly?
I really don’t know what that means. i mean, one of the only things that defer the advanced hosting plans of Godaddy from their “economy” basic plan is the line I circled in the next photo. It’s marked in Yellow or orange – depends on how you view colors
“Standard performance” at the “Delux hosting plan”, “Increased processing power” on the “ultimate hosting plan” and “increased processing and speed” at the “maximum hosting plan. This promises nothing. Maybe it’s a way of promising better performance, maybe it’s a marketing way to increase the plan’s price. I’m not sure. Therefore, I will write it again – if you’re a beginner – go for the economy plan. You do not need anything more at the moment. if you’re an advanced – I guess there are other good options in the market for great hosting plans – I wouldn’t settle for anything i’m not sure of. I would write to Godaddy and as what do these “increased processing power and speed” means in technical terms. What exactly am I getting if i’m paying few more dollars per month. Goodluck.
