Software specific hosting is generally a gimmick, and really offers very little over other services.Are any of them set up to handle XF specifically?
I'd stay away from GoDaddy no matter what.
Get hosting from a "real" hosting company.
Every time I help someone on GD hosting it's nothing but time consuming annoying issues.
Which tend to go away 100% when they move to say Linode or eukhosting, leaseweb or rackspace.
I didn't say they weren't real, I said a real hosting company.
GoDaddy uses a third party company to do the hosting on their behalf.
i prefer hostgator
Just spend another 30 minutes helping someone to get an IN A record set up, because the hosting at godaddy updated but "internal error" caused him to not receive an email with the required zone edit updates, etc.
And as it turned out, the IN A record didn't have to get changed, but the name servers itself.
He called godaddy three times and their response was to change the domain to "parked" so he can activate it.
And as it turns out, because he didn't update fast enough they changed the domain to inactive.
I spend 5 minutes transferring it to namecheap, but godaddy said because there was a change to the domain now he has to wait 60 days.
It wouldn't surprise me he will get billed for this by godaddy for the 'personal assistance outside of basic support'.
GoDaddy is great for domain names, not so great for hosting.
I know to many people who have had issues with their domain service to agree with this (Myself included).GoDaddy is great for domain names, not so great for hosting.
