GoDaddy, one of the largest domain registration company, also offers hosting in three packages, with the price depending on how long you apply for. My initial though was, “Wow, that is pretty cheap. Why not get one?” So I got the package and registered a domain with Godaddy.

The registration and setup was completely easy. But then I tried to set up my website. I was using Wordpress 2.5, the latest and most updated version that came out. I tried to install it and there were problems. I couldn’t renew my password, nor could I switch between the Design and HTML mode in Wordpress’s WYSIWYG. I never had a problem with wordpress before, yet it didn’t work with Godaddy. (I even tried to install Wordpress through their automatic software installation. It took about 4 hours for something I’ve done before in 5 minutes, but it didn’t solve the problem.)

When I first registered, Godaddy even phoned me if I needed help setting up my account. (I would’ve never expected this.) At that time I didn’t try to install Wordpress yet. After my problems, I emailed Godaddy at their customer support, and recieved an email stating that GoDaddy couldn’t help on third party software. After this, just switched back to my old host.

Overall, the price is outstanding, but they have complications in their support.
