\"No!<\/a>
No! Never Host Your Website at GoDaddy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Continued from Monday and again NO you should not host at GoDaddy!<\/em><\/p>\n

As of today, my website www.mccordwebservices.com \u00a0is\u00a0no longer\u00a0blacklisted at McAfee DNSBL, Spamhaus.org and CBL.AbuseAt.org. But I did have to do a manual request to remove my listing at CBL.AbuseAt.org..<\/p>\n

Customer Service is Lacking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s how simple it would have been for GoDaddy to keep a customer.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Offered a free dedicated IP for 30 days.<\/li>\n
  2. Offered to move me to a new server.<\/li>\n
  3. Immediately removed the offending site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What to Do if You Host at GoDaddy<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. Move your site before renewal.
    \n2. If you must stay buy a dedicated IP address.<\/p>\n

    Yes, I personally hate to move clients unless they have had a problem, but now GoDaddy gets two big black check marks in my book. I have had sites hacked from internal intrusions within the GoDaddy environment and now this issue with allowing one website in a shared hosting environment damage the online reputation and create email problems for everyone on that shared\u00a0server.<\/p>\n

    What Am I Doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I am moving my website to Hostway. I have had my business site hosted at Hostway since 2001 and have never had a problem. With firewalls between sites on their shared servers, I do not expect ever to have this problem in the Hostway Shared Server environment.<\/p>\n

    Need help moving away from GoDaddy? I’d be glad to chat with you about moving your site out today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
