Detailed GoDaddy Hosting Review

GoDaddy is usually the first place I always go for both initial domains and initial hosting purposes.  There $8.95 domains are about as cheap as they come in the industry.  If you add hosting to this domain, the price drops to $1.95.  Everything about GoDaddy is quite simple and straightforward.  Their control panels are extremely user friendly and hosting/domain management is a breeze.  Their customer service is very satisfactory, as well.  Using Godaddy, you can literally get a Linux server with a new domain up and running in less than a half of an hour.  The major limitations to Godaddy are size and security.  You will not get the same amount of space as someone like ixWeb, but it is very close.  The shared servers can cause security issues to larger traffic volume and cash transaction sites.

Recommendation:  Use GoDaddy's Economy Hosting package for blogging / Wordpress websites, simple squeeze and landing pages, a simple phpBB forum (they give you 10 MySQL databases in this package!), personal home pages and other smaller, non-secure types of sites.
