"The bromide says "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Nevertheless, this 74-years-young "old dawg" is trying to learn some. But, it's more important to get to the point of how Go Daddy came to my rescue. Rescue? Oh, yes! I was wallowing in an effort to build my website through a source that had been well recommended. In the beginning, it worked - until I discovered I could contact them only by email. While they did respond, it often took days and often caused me to send another email because I didn't understand what was being communicated. As a result, it took days into weeks to build a single page! When I detailed my frustrations in my newsletter to family and friends, a former business associate responded with "You should try Go Daddy" and detailed how pleased he was with its service and performance. So, I signed on and, after my experience, I can echo his. Go Daddy's telephone support staff have been professional and thorough in helping this "old dawg" learn some new tricks. They've also been patient in their understanding that I'm not at the high level of computer knowledge, as, well, that of my grandchildren. Thank you, Go Daddy, for helping this "old dawg" learn some new tricks."-- Robert Pace
"Go Daddy was there for us at 9 p.m. on a Sunday when we had to register a new domain name and move our Web site. We needed to be ready to receive email on Monday morning. Go Daddy's service was great and we have peace of mind that Go Daddy will be there 24/7." -- Mike Matthews "(Go Daddy) offers the best support and pricing I have ever seen..." -- Gregory Michetti
"I've been a customer with Go Daddy for over two years or so and over these past two years, I can honestly say, I have received some the best customer service I've ever received from any company. One of the aspects I focus on with my company webmarketingadvisors.com is teaching clients not only the value of excellent customer service, but how to provide it as well. Far too many companies can't even grasp the meaning, let alone, actually providing great service. As far as I am concerned, GoDaddy is in an elite crowd of companies who get it!" -- Matthew Costello |
