Conclutions

Advantages and disadvantages of godadMy opinion regarding the service of GoDaddy is as follows: I made my first blog hiring the hosting in the standard category, with Windows Plesk. But then I realized its limitations and opt to switch to the version of Linux with cpanel and migrate my web I had better results.  But the cost of renovating the service after a year was what really surprised me. Godaddy, it is advisable if you have some experience in the creation of webs and/or you need some very specific service. Almost no one recommends this vendor for eCommerce sites.
