Everyone says not to use them.. idk why?

Because you've obviously never had a critical service that relied heavily on website uptime. GoDaddy offers hosting for consumers. Whether it may be blogs, personal websites, they don't need that 99.99% uptime necessity. If you're going to host a Bitcoin service, go with AWS, Linode, Dreamhost, or the Rackspace Cloud. All of them have good SLAs and have excellent support (except for Amazon). They won't dump you off their service simply because you're using too many resources (Dreamhost might ask you to upgrade to a VPS).

GoDaddy is notorious for their horrible upselling techniques and overall junk (not sure about hosting), people just try to avoid them completely.

I already know the name I want and no I spent $25,000 on my last domain sorry

Add another vote for do not use GoDaddy for hosting. There are dedicated hosting providers so you can keep that separate from the domain buying itself.

I would not use GoDaddy for hosting a site; I've seen far too many reports of their service being unreliable and doing strange things to people's web apps. They do domains quite well, though.

No, don't use GoDaddy. I use the Rackspace Cloud.

Hi OP- might I recommend that you use Cinfu.com?

I just bought a domain from them but of course they do hosting and private servers as well. I used them because they accept Bitcoin... and the transaction was very easy. I have a few dozen domain names at GoDaddy... I've always used them, but I may just migrate them to a new host like Cinfu because they accept the good coin

Well how does it work..Godaddy I have had a pretty good experience with them at buying domains and they are very cheap.

Do you have $25,001 you don't need? If so, I happen to know of an extremely rare domain name you could use...

I'm about to go with godaddy for my new site im working on. But I have never built a REAL site with them. How would I host it there? Would I need a designer?
