Godaddy Economy Hosting Plans

Some of the more popular of Godaddy's hosting plans are the economy versions of shared, VPS and dedicated server hosting. Each type of hosting that Godaddy provides tends to come in economy, deluxe and some form of premium plan where economy is the cheapest and a good value for the money. If cash is an issue start with economy and work your way up as your hosting needs increase.

Personal Experience with Godaddy

I manage all of my domain names through Godaddy. Godaddy domain prices are very competitive and their domain manager control panel has alot of functionality and flexibility.

I've worked on Godaddy economy hosting accounts and virtual private/dedicated servers. They offer alot of value for the price. The support is more than sufficient for the average user.

I've run many popular scripts on Godaddy economy hosting accounts including Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal. One thing to watch out for...last I knew the shared Windows economy plan didn't correctly support MySQL. Godaddy does provide an easy option in the control panel to switch the economy hosting plan to Linux on demand.
