Thank you for the article.
Shared WordPress hosting might be cheaper, but it also means you have to “share” with tens of thousands of other companies, which has its security risks. I think it is wise to choose managed hosting.

In reply to Netta. Yes, this is not a true managed Wordpress plan. I know GoDaddy does have a Wordpress migration feature to help get you on their platform, though. Actually, did try it out and it had lots of bugs. Aside from that GoDaddy does state that you can have 100,000 visitors on their Wordpress plans. However, what they don’t tell you is if you use too many resources your account will get suspended. This is a very common problem with lower end “shared plans.” I would suggest signing up for another managed WordPress company. One that gets better feedback from site owners.

Hey Garen:

I wish I would have read this article before I signed up for GoDaddy. I figured that since GoDaddy had a Wordpress plan I wouldn't have to mess with all the backend settings in cPanel. I guess I was wrong. This has cost me lots of time over the years.

One thing that really hacks me off is GoDaddy stated our site could get 100,000 monthly visits. However, we got about 15,000 and our website got suspended for using too many resources.

What a huge let down it was.
