Why GoDaddy Web Hosting Sucks!
为啥狗爹为啥如此抽风？
Until October 2009, I was a GoDaddy Partner / Wild West Domains Reseller, and although I made some money by selling their hundreds and thousands of unneeded services, I had a very hard time pushing a product which I myself had serious doubts about.
直到09年1月份，我还是狗爹的分销商，尽管的的确确赚了一笔，可其中推销连自己都怀疑的产品，着实经历了不少辛苦呀
Over the 3 years that I’ve been selling Wild West or GoDaddy Services, I tried many different hosts, and I recommended GoDaddy hosting to many small businesses, because for a website that doesn’t really drive traffic, GoDaddy pricing really isn’t all that bad. However, I’ve never been too convinced about their hosting services and some of the functionality that comes along with it and today, I will give you the inside story, based purely on experience, as to why you should not use GoDaddy for hosting a website if you plan to build a reputable website.
3年来，我一直贩售wildwest和godaddy服务，我体验过很多种不同的主机，（决定）推荐狗爹给广大中小企业，因为他们的网站小，而承担的费用也不贵，然而，我对godaddy的主机服务及其他附加服务，从来就没抱多大的信心，如今，我来爆点料，给大家点内幕消息，（基于亲身经历），如果你真的想弄一个比较牛逼的站，建议你真的不要用狗爹
So why haven’t I been comfortable selling GoDaddy Hosting? Well, put simply, because it just sucks. It fails terribly when it comes to speed, reliability and user friendliness, and if you ever have to depend on their customer service, well, you may have to ask Jesus to intervene, because GoDaddy or Wild West Domains Customer service is really, really lost. So lost, in fact, that they do need a Messiah for enlightenment.
为啥我一边贩卖godaddy服务，一边还唧唧歪歪的表示不爽呢？因为他真的很烂，包括速度、可靠性及用户体验。如果你还奢望得到狗爹的客服服务，哈哈，你还不如求“凤姐”前来斡旋，因为他们的服务烂到极致，继续救世主前来教化
Hosting with GoDaddy? Better Make Time…
用狗爹？等死吧...
Let’s put it this way: access to the GoDaddy Hosting Panel was so slow that at times I could brew a cup of good old Spiced Indian Tea before the page would load. It’s one thing to have the front end run slow, but to log in, create email addresses, or use their file manager, or create databases with their custom inte**ce was the most painful experience I have ever had as a web designer. In addition, if you ever had to log on to the customized phpMyAdmin inte**ce to access the MySQL Databases, well, you’d have to go make some more tea. Run time between queries with phpMyAdmin is very slow, and it makes for an over all pathetic experience as a webmaster.
比如：打开狗爹主机控制面板的缓冲时间，足够我泡好一杯印第安无香茶。前端慢、登陆，添加邮件地址，或者使用文件管理，创建数据库等 都是极其痛苦的事情，（作为网页设计师，你不抓狂才怪呢），另外，登陆自定义phpMyAdmin接口以管理MySQL数据库的时间，足够泡N杯茶了，查询phpMyAdmin的龟速，将是网络管理员的痛苦遭遇
Now, when you’re running the front end, it’s just as bad. I switched to several different packages as a reseller: from VPS Hosting to Semi Dedicated to Economy to Deluxe. They all run at stone-age speeds, and the front end experience is so bad, especially if you’re querying a database, that the website may occasionally time out. That’s bad news for those of us who wanted to do testing on the server, because oh my, we wasted some mighty precious time. In any case, it made for a bad user experience, especially if you’re running an ecommerce site, as no user wants to wait 3 minutes for the next window to load. AJAX could act as saving grace, but the minute your AJAX application would query your sever, well, you’re at GoDaddy’s mercy; and let me tell you, they really are running their hosting service like they’re in the Wild Wild West.
不光是前端糟糕，我切换过不同的服务，从VPS Hosting到Semi Dedicated，再到 经济型、牛逼型，他们都是石器时代的速度。前端体验糟糕之至。尤其是当你查询数据库的时候，常常跳出超级而无法连接，每当我们做服务器检查的时候，简直就是草菅我等宝贵的时间啊。无论如何，狗爹似乎专为垃圾体验而生，如果你是运营一个商业网站，我相信没有任何一个客人能够等待3分钟缓冲到下一页。AJAX could act as saving grace, but the minute your AJAX application would query your sever, well, you’re at GoDaddy’s mercy; （这一句不懂），让我来告诉你，他们的主机服务简直就是恰如其名“西部荒野”
One of the reasons the database access is so painfully slow is that it sits behind an SSL connection. This is a rather silly move, as most successful hosts don’t employ it simply because it can drastically slow down the performance, of, say, a massive wordpress blog that could be pulling along the lines of 70 queries a page.
数据库运行缓慢的一个原因就是，它存在于SSL链接之后，这简直是个愚蠢的设计。众多优秀的主机供应商弃用该设计，是因为它能急剧恶化性能表现，大量的博客系统可以拉下平均70Q/P
70 MySQL Queries, you say?
哎呀妈呀 70呀？真的？
With GoDaddy, they claim to be able to monitor the simultaneous number of connections to the MySQL Database and the simultaneous number of active visitors (whatever in the hell that means) on the website. Now, GoDaddy staff isn’t clear on this, but apparently, if you have more than 50 consecutive MySQL Connectinos or 50 active users, well, you’re **ed. You’ll get a 503 site temporarily down error, and it can last for over an hour, because apparently, you have 50 active users who are consecutively glued to the MySQL Database. How awesome is that? And yet, neither google analytics or extreme tracking could detect more than 1500 pageviews in a day @ that point. But these daddy goners had their own agenda. According to some of the intellects at Wild West customer support, the number of open MySQL DB connections or the number of consecutive visitors would change based on which package you had, where as some claimed to have no knowledge of any such thing. But nobody really knew what triggered this 503 error. Apparently, as it turns out, all the staff needs maintenance.
狗爹官方网站宣称，他们能够做到并发多个MySQL数据库链接及有效访问，（无稽之谈），可如今，狗爹职员表示对这一点也不是很清楚，很显然，如果你同时连发50个数据库链接，或者50个有效访问，哈哈 ，你惨大发了。你会得到503 error提示，且能持续1个多小时，很显然，因为那50个访问胶合了MySQL数据库，很糟糕，不是吗?如此一来，无论是google analytics 或者 extreme tracking 都无法做到每天1500个页面访问。然而，这些狗爹落魄者们有自己的日程，据 Wild West 客服部的智囊说，允许同时并发的访问数与文件总数有关，而有人对此则表示茫然。但无人能解释503错误。很显然，所以那些职员们都该需要培训了。
FTP Access, you say?
This one really pissed me off. No more than 2 simultaneous FTP connections, and no FTP connections lasts more than a 120 seconds. So, if you’re testing on the server, you’re **ed! And if you’re hosting multiple sites on the account, you’re penetrated twice because more than one webmaster can’t upload files to the FTP server. That’s just bad; really, really bad.
这点真把我雷倒了。。没有2个以上的并发FTP链接超过120秒， 如果是测试服务器，你被雷的外焦里嫩，如果你想在一个主机账户上建立多个站点，那你就别想传一个文件到ftp，惨不忍睹
Email?
Well, the folks over at GoDaddy may have developed their own email inte**ce, but they still don’t have control over spam. Either that, or they’ve got too much. While I was at Wild West, I had several clients complain about their clients complain about how their emails would net get delivered, and the folks over in Scottsdale, Arizona really had it out for everyone. At times they’ll block hotmail email, even if originates from a valid SPF policy domain, and if you ever emailed them, they were just about as useful as, well, useless. Besides, if you didn’t pay extra money, you only got 10 MB per email inbox! Hello! Free email comes with 2 GB now. I know you guys are from the same state as McCain, but please keep up with what’s happening!!
Godaddy的email接口无法控制垃圾邮件，（饿了，吃饭去。。。。下面的不难，凑合着看吧 ）
Installing Applications
If you’re buying a third party software like an eCommerce Solution or blog etc., please let the party you’re buying from know you’re using GoDaddy, Wild West or Secure Server services, because for so called ’security’ reasons, their settings are all screwed up. For instance, with several ecommerce providers, you’ll have to point to a specific URL to be able to use the curl() function in php with GoDaddy & Co., and it can be very frustrating if you’re new to this stuff and don’t know that your host is the one that’s been screwing you over for hours while you kept thinking your code was all screwed up.
Worst of all things with GoDaddy is the overall experience if you are a professional. Just like Sage has mesmerized the UK with it’s marketing and taken over as the defacto accounting software despite being the worst accounting package on the market, GoDaddy with Wild West has marketed itself extremely well, with thousands of affiliates, to the point where they can easily trap the newbie consumer with absolutely low quality service. Well, I’ll be having no more ofana part to play in that crime.
If you’re a starter, go with GoDaddy. If you want good, reliable hosting that works, go for cluster based hosting, and please don’t go with Servage. I’ve already cussed them out on this website a couple of years ago. I have finally settled with IMountain.com Solar powered Hosting, and they’re not paying me to write this, which is why there’s no link to them in this post. I’ve been using iMountain for a few months now, and I can tell you that I’ve been pleased with their speed, FTP, customer service, etc. etc. They’re not about giving you fancy marketing stuff or spending too much time writing their own cluttered inte**ce. They’re using respected software in the hosting industry to run their service, and it comes with great speed. It’s not the cheapest hosting you’ll find, but it is definitely worth the money.
In about 4 months, I’ve only had downtime for a couple of hours one day, and this is the day it took a couple of hours for me to get a response out of them. But as it turns out, the problem was that someone had a launched a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on one of the servers, and they were busy trying to counter it. For those of you who’re not familiar with DDoS, it’s somewhat equivalent in cyberspace to what Israel is currently doing to Palestine; you can hardly blame them for fighting the terrorist off before responding, eh?
But that’s IMountain.com. With GoDaddy and Wild West Domains, I’ve never been able to figure out why I got a 503 error three times a week! |
