GoDaddy has always been a bad choice — poor reliability, customer service, rarely even the cheapest. People used them because they advertised a lot — I’ve known multiple guys who literally said they based that decision on the hot women in their ads! – but they’ve also had a bad reputation in the serious tech community since the turn of the century.
I’ll also note that 100% of the clients I’ve inherited who used them had less than a single nine of uptime annually. Their shared hosting, file storage, etc. would just stop responding and nothing would appear to happen until someone called support.
Might be a community thing. Going back to the early 2000s in my experience they were used as a cautionary example of bikini marketing over technical merits.
