WARNING: Before Buying GoDaddy Domain or Hosting WATCH THIS

[@tipswithpunch]

Web hosts I recommend: Hostinger: punchsalad.com/lp/hostinger/ Hostpapa: punchsalad.com/lp/hostpapa/ Siteground: punchsalad.com/lp/siteground/

[@jeffreycanfora1091]

Wow 😯. I was a click away from going with GoDaddy. Thank you so much for this honest review. The big marketing bulldozers just about got me. Your video came up first in my search to try and find out if I need web hosting with my domain. I have no idea what web hosting is or what it’s for. If it’s necessary or not. But I’m very, very glad this video came up and I watched it first. 👍🏼

[@tipswithpunch]

Glad it was helpful Jeffrey! and happy I could save you money / stress down the line :)

[@LankyFunFriend53]

which site did you end up using since you didn't go with "godaddy"?

[@abumaleeha1]

Oh crap iv just purchase a domain and nw I'm. Here due to seeing the monthly fee lol

[@Trumpoli]

@@tipswithpunch T_T i was too late to have seen your video

[@Zzzzzzzzzzxzxxzzzzxx]

I wish I had seen this a year ago. They also have to the worst customer service if you actually have an issue. So I’m going with a different company. Thank you for the suggestions 🙂

[@tipswithpunch]

Sorry to hear about your bad experience, and I hope my suggestions will restore faith in hosting providers :)

[@DavidLeBlanc]

I have long said what you said here on this video about GoDaddy. Support often treats support questions as an upsell opportunity when I just want a question answered. I get that in a way, they are in business to make money, but I always manage to solve my issues with some needed information.

[@tipswithpunch]

glad to see you in the comments David. Indeed tech support and up selling should be separated! No need to push for stuff we don't need.

[@DavidLeBlanc]

@@tipswithpunch Thanks and happy you are still here. Always something good and useful to watch.

[@tipswithpunch]

thanks!

[@KeviniCloud]

It's a pity that I always buy something first and then check on KZbin and listen to your story. Absolutely right! Thank you. I'll pay a bit more attention next time. :P

[@tipswithpunch]

Yeah I've had that in the past too 😅

[@applesforakbar]

Hey friend - I'm officially leaving GoDaddy, they screwed me around enough today was the last straw. I need to transfer my hosting and domain, and considering Hostinger, SiteGround, Namecheap and HostGator. Do you have a recommended? I'm leaning towards Hostinger from what I'm reading. Thanks for your help

[@tipswithpunch]

Yeah Hostinger is good option and they have affordable pricing. If you want the premium service then go with Siteground. I would skip hostgator, pretty much same as godaddy. I haven't tried namecheap hosting, but I do buy most of my domains from them.

[@applesforakbar]

@@tipswithpunch Thanks as always!

[@OddClarity]

You've helped in the past and you're helping me again. So you've got a new subscriber and a *thumbs up* indeed from the 726th person. Thanks again!

[@tipswithpunch]

Glad I could help!

[@curlyvian]

Your videos have helped me in the past but I never comment ever, so cheers! You made me comment. And about the video, I think so too but I never really paid attention to it until I saw this. You are absolutely correct.

[@tipswithpunch]

Happy to help! And it's good to hear you agree with the points I bring up in this video.

[@Gloria-zb2pi]

There was a go daddy ad right before this 🤣

[@tipswithpunch]

haha, that's ironic :D

[@DroopySetter]

Same 😂

[@Nova-X-yt-account]

ME TOO 💀💀

[@naturelyrics7577]

Thank you for sharing this video because I'm currently facing a problem signing in and accessing my domains and I still need help. Now I feel like I might never have access to my domain that I already purchased. it's discouraging and I'm planning on leaving them completely. If they want to they can keep the domains

[@Bemaseated]

What you have brought to light is not about functionality. While I agree with you 100%, the main concerns with building a new website is ease of use, SEO, etc... Yes, they are a shady business but what they also do is make it easy for someone with limited tech skills. Thank you for the video and keep fighting the good fight!

[@tipswithpunch]

Thanks Deron! They do make it easy, but I feel like most other web hosts do the same thing, without all the other shady stuff :)

[@GardeniaLimo]

I agree, it shows it's the worst company policy, customer support ever.

[@tipswithpunch]

yep, no idea how they are still in business

[@jenellefritz-nanaywholoves7609]

Hi thank you, but I already bought my domain can I use it to other host? Like Shopify?

[@tipswithpunch]

yeah you can use any other web host. It's fairly easy to point your domain to the other host.

[@adityaflutes]

Yeah bro i agree on what you said but hostinger doesn't have a good customer care support right ? Can you suggest any other where services are more , user & budget friendly? 🙏🙂

[@tipswithpunch]

I've needed their support for a few times and they seem to be able to help. I don't know any other budget friendly options as I haven't used them. But sometimes you can get a really good discount for first year / few years. Just need to catch it whenever they are running it.

[@EliasLinares-me3dg]

thanks for the Video, About to shop for web hosting and Was thinking of godaddy as an option!

[@tipswithpunch]

Happy to hear this helped you with the decision Elias!

[@PRODUCT5]

From where we can get the domain and hosting in US.which plateform is best ?

[@tipswithpunch]

Check greengeeks or Namecheap (for hosting) and Namecheap for domains (I use them)

[@Cunninghamclan]

Hi, I'm paying $10.95 a mouth for Website Security Essential with Godaddy, do I ready need that or does another hosting site offer a better deal? Thanks

[@tipswithpunch]

well they are useful features, but good hosting providers should have that be default (maybe not the malware scanningbut the firewall & SSL for sure) . For example siteground & hostpapa have these by default.www.hostpapa.com/web-hosting-plan/#comparison-chart & www.godaddy.com/en-au/web-security/website-security

[@thirst-t2653]

Pls make one video with Sedo and yes..wish I could hv come here earlier.. the whole website is slow and cash parking or adding Payee doesn't even works properly..

[@rahulbakshi299]

I have just purchased a domain on GoDaddy and watching your video after having purchased it. Should I be worried ? If ai transfer it next year will I have to pay extra for it on top of renewal cost ?

[@tipswithpunch]

no extra, you will just move it to other provider and pay the renewal cost there.

[@alexstead2325]

The 1 cent is what the domain name is worth. The $20 is the $1 you would be paying a month for the domain name. They do a pretty cool thing where if you buy it for longer you get it for cheaper.

[@tipswithpunch]

not sure I follow 🤔

[@xxupsidedawnxx1398]

​@@tipswithpunch GoDaddy provides big discounts

[@hellopleychess3190]

@@xxupsidedawnxx1398 yes but every big discount starts with a big prize, you get what Im sayin?

[@karlacuevas3700]

Should I buy the domain for 5 years or should I start with buying it for 1 year, and then renewing it when it expires, or do I have to pay a fee if I renew it?

[@tipswithpunch]

a bit late reply. But no fees. Sometimes registrars give you small discount if you take for many years. Personally I just renew them every year with auto renewal

[@Ricchmic]

Is there a way to connect custom domain to wix site without upgrading wix to premium. I’m asking this because going through this process is not cost effective…

[@tipswithpunch]

I think not, wix requires payments for custom domain

[@gpleatherworks]

Is it possible for me to connect my bluehost domian to godaddy website builder?

[@tipswithpunch]

I think it's possible. I haven't done it with godaddy's website builder, but with normal web hosting it works. Your domain will just point to godaddy servers

[@jamesadams9647]

I had switched my 33 domains to another place, then Go Daddy bought them out and sent all my names back to Go Daddy.

[@tipswithpunch]

wow, didn't know that's even possible, but really sucks :(

[@FahadRehmanSheikh]

I recently bought domain from godaddy... Just domain for a year... So what u suggest should I blackout.. Or should I just wait for a year and then discontinue.. And what's the procedure of backing out?

[@tipswithpunch]

You already bought it, you could wait until closer to the end. Transferring domain is straightforward, it just has many steps, which I show in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DJomirrbuNl9E

[@FahadRehmanSheikh]

@@tipswithpunch thanks.. I'll watch the video..

[@jjimmy9763]

Yes, After paying for Doman , Domain disappeared. there is no lead how to use it it.

Glad to help. It depends a bit on your needs. Hassle free option & feature rich page builder (wordpress + elementor page builder): punchsalad.com/lp/elementor-cloud/ My website is on hostpapa: punchsalad.com/lp/hostpapa - Which is like a mid tier hosting. More affordable option is Hostinger: punchsalad.com/lp/hostinger Or a premium one is siteground: punchsalad.com/lp/siteground If you tell me what's most important to you (e.g. price, fast website, easy to install, etc) and what type of website you are creating.

This is a great review! Can you please atleast suggest a good buy of domain for outsourcing business?

[@tipswithpunch]

For domains check namecheap & for web hosting hostinger

[@annesguerra2513]

@tipswithpunch What can you suggest? Taking the hostinger with free 1yr domain or get domain in Namecheap instead?

[@jdssurf]

So i bought my domain from goddady, i can keep it and use it elsewhere ?

[@tipswithpunch]

Yes, you can! Just buy the hosting somewhere else, you can always point your domain name to that web host.

How can I transfer my domain man , I wish I would’ve known this or watch this video 2 weeks ago , I bought my domain for 2 years just to secure it n I notice all these up sales right away I knew it wasn’t good

You can transfer it easily, here is how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DJomirrbuNl9E In this video I transfer it to namecheap (I use them for all my domains)

[@DmgNebulaa]

Is it possible to transfer my domain to another host lol? How to do it easily???

[@tipswithpunch]

yeah you can. I have an older video how to do it from godaddy to namecheap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DJomirrbuNl9E It has multiple steps (some really annoying), but it's doable. Also if you have any issues you can always ask for help at the new domain registrar (since they want you as a client)

[@japanphoenix2010]

Thank you for this, and for your referrals to other companies! I just set up a new site with GoDaddy and am already trying to avoid the zillions of traps they set for you, such as automatically putting you on a Premium plan, with no visible option to opt-out. I actually had to start a chat help just to have them put me back on the Basic plan. Also, when looking for a template to use for your website, the minute you click on one just to test it out, there's no way to go back and try another. I learned this the hard way when I found another template I liked better (mind you, only 2 minutes after I signed up), and I had to do a help chat to tell them the template I wanted. The guy said the 'switch fee' would normally be $60, but they'd make an exception this time. Seriously?? Also, their website builder program does NOT have an undo button (what??), so if you make a mistake, you have to go into your backend settings and do entire restore of your website. I find that shocking. I had to do another chat help just to find this out. I wish I'd watched this before starting with GoDaddy.

[@tipswithpunch]

Sorry to hear that you are struggling with Godaddy :( They make things hard and very unethical. Not sure how they are still in business

[@benjaminfelder1756]

Don’t do it. Go Daddy is streamlined and easy to use like an Apple product. This site he’s recommending you use you have to know what your doing and manually adjust stuff just to set up the email. Now I have to wait 60 days and lose out on the money I paid to them just to transfer it over. Thanks (not)

[@tipswithpunch]

unfortunately the 60 day would happen with any domain registrars. Even if you would move back to Godaddy. I can see what you mean by Godaddy being streamlined with their own products. But they will charge you a lot more for it than other companies.
