Joomla in general doesn't perform as well on GoDaddy. The speed is more often than not pretty awful, plus we've seen multiple Joomla extensions have trouble on their hosting. It's bad enough that if a custom dev client is on GoDaddy, we charge a surcharge to deal with it. Other hosting platforms that are unfriendly for developers are 1&1 and Network Solutions. Work we do via their interfaces and under their account limitations often take our staff twice as long as "normal" hosting accounts. Give our guys the normal full features of a cPanel or Plesk account on decent hosting, and they're off and running with it. Tell them the client is on GoDaddy, 1&1 or Network Solutions, and the same professionals cringe. Glad to hear all is working well. --- ~ Deb Cinkus, CEO Polished Geek: more with monday․com eCommerce Business Process Automation Experts Last edit: 14 years 1 month ago by [PolishedGeek](/forum/user/8378-polishedgeek "View PolishedGeek's Profile").

I moved few years ago to another hosting environment and have been pleased.
