The names WordPress and GoDaddy are some of the most popular hosting websites, which have made a major contribution to the development of the web community.
If you are a beginner building a website and trying to decide, it would be better if you began by understanding what these two are. What kind of role they play in website development.
WordPress is the best Content Management System (CMS) today. It is growing at an exponential rate. It is a program or software used by customers for blogging and website building. WordPress.org is not a website hosting company itself. But numerous sites you visit are probably made with WordPress. It has become the most popular website builder in the world because of its flexibility and ease of use. You can create a website or a blog with the help of WordPress themes and WordPress plugins. Most all Hosting Companies offer special packages for WordPress Hosting.
GoDaddy is primarily the world’s largest domain name registrar and claims that it has more than 70 million registered Domain Names. If you need a domain for your website, you can purchase and register it through this company. But be prepared for them to try and sell you other services you probably do not need. They also offer web hosting services and claim nearly 5 million sites are currently hosted by GoDaddy.
Complaints to this service include a lack of ability to expand as your needs change, and the fine print fees that make it more expensive than you were expecting.
Like many web-related companies, GoDaddy has its advantages and disadvantages. Let us have a look at GoDaddy’s good points.
Their shared hosting is backed up by fairly good support and security and is on-hand 24/7. But hosting is a secondary feature. GoDaddy specializes in domain registration. They are not that highly qualified when it comes to hosting. Still, many customers have experienced serious problems by reason of bad hosting of their websites with GoDaddy and insufficient technical support. These are the bad points
And another point is GoDaddy provides its own website builder designed for professionals to create their own websites for small business.
More than 35% of all websites use WordPress as their CMS (Website Builder), and it is loved by users of all types. WordPress is the best of all Content Management Systems used today. Let us list the good points of the world's most famous CMS.
