In this article I want to compare and contrast two popular web hosting companies, Startlogic and GoDaddy. However, there are a lot of hosting companies; what makes these companies different is they also offer domain names, as well. In this article you will discover which company I recommend. This Startlogic vs GoDaddy Review will set the record straight.

Startlogic Review – Features

Startlogic uses vDesk which uses their own simple auto install scripting add-on, which is called InstallCentral. This is different from the norm which is usually Fantastico or SimpleScripts. If you are familiar with WordPress chances are you are accustom to doing updates. However, with Startlogic’s “InstallCentral” there have been numerous reports of people having trouble updating their WordPress updates. In fact, some report that it is impossible.

Don’t get me wrong Startlogic does offer a heap of resources such as, email accounts, subdomains, support, stats, and a site builder. They do support CGI, PHP, MySQL, ect. Customers have not reported too many major concerns with using their hosting service, because they do support everything a web master could ever dream of.

Startlogic Review – Customer Service

Past customers have reported that Startlogic does have good customer support. They are actual “humans” and not outsourced to third world countries. Their support does come with a full 24/7 customer service and you can even reach them through the Internet “Live chat” which is nice. Unlike some other hosting companies their staff of agents are quite knowledgeable and experienced.

Startlogic Review – The Final Word

However, over the years their customer service has started to lack big time. This wasn’t the case when I talked to them, but reports have pouring in on either loving or hating them. They do use their own panel called InstallCentral which has gotten a mixed response from customers. They do offer domains too, but they do seem to be going downhill and there are simply better hosting/domain registrar other than Startlogic.

GoDaddy Review – Features

GoDaddy uses their own cPanel which is Plesk. Some report that it takes a little of getting used to. But overall it is a good cPanel. They do support CGI (Python and Ruby), PHP, Perl, ASP, MySQL, ect. Scripts are not a problem with GoDaddy and support anything you could possibly desire for your website.

They do support unlimited emails, blogging platforms, shopping carts, you name it. It is really painless to install, as well. One feature that is great about GoDaddy is they specify how much bandwidth you are going to get per month. Some companies tell you, you will receive an unlimited amount. However, there is no way to promise unlimited bandwidth. With GoDaddy you can upgrade if you fill you need more at anytime.

GoDaddy Review – Customer Service

Past customers have reported that their customer service staff is very knowledgeable, but sometimes you will be on hold for 5 minutes or, so which really isn’t a big deal considering how big GoDaddy is. You can reach them 24/7 via telephone or even find the answers to questions with their FAQ’s section. If you do elect to reach them by email too you can which usually only takes about 24 hours to get a response.

I have talked to them numerous times offer the last 5 years and they have always helped me transfer domain, setup my hosting account, ect.

GoDaddy Review – The Final Word

GoDaddy is a great overall web hosting and domain registrar. However, if you feel that you do not want to use Plesk their cPanel you can always switch your DNS over and using any web hosting provider you would like. GoDaddy is always running specials to which you can get their services for cheaper, which is great. 95% of the people have used GoDaddy, are repeat buyers and their services are available for beginners or experts.

At this time I am looking to set up a personal travel website and maybe later for business, but first I need to find a strong web hosting company. I have looked up several including Lunarpages, Infinology, Host Monster, StartLogic, and Blut Host. I will not pretend to know all that much about web hosting, but what I do know is that I want a very profesional looking website when I am done, which means I need one with an excellent web builder. Lunarpages is the only one that has shown the profionalism of their web builder program. However, with that being said, if any of you know something that I don’t like a more qualified web hosting company that you recoment, I am more than willing to pay attention. Thank you very much for your help.
