My Web Hosting Mistake

Last night I was about to write a very favorable review for GoDaddy.com. I have had a great experience with the three domain names and two web hosting services I've bought from them.

But I was curious about the web hosting industry so I looked at Go Daddy's competitors. I came across Lime Domain's where I could have bought my textbranding.com domain for $10 which would of come with FREE hosting. Instead, I paid Go Daddy $13 for the domain name and $70 to host my website for a year. Oops.


I hope you at least get what you pay for. I know that Go Daddy is a reputable company and offers great customer service. You won't wait long until your speaking directly with someone who can walk you through the simple process of publishing a website. But still, FREE hosting.

Next year I can transfer to Lime Domain and cash in if they are still offering the free hosting incentive.

The lesson here, though, is to shop around before buying. I can be impulsive when I see something I want; but, it makes a lot more sense to compare options and go with the company that offers the best value.
