By the way, this banner code that godaddy add to the free web page "break" the administration page of WordPress, both CSS (chrome and firefox) and Javascript (IE, chrome, Firefox) and render Wordpress administration virtually impossible. There is a discussion of fix below which involves the hacking of Wordpress' Core code. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/280162 and, thanks to these additional closing HTML tags that the banner code adds to end of the page, the site will not pass W3C validation test. I guess that's the price of using "free site" The code should go to a master CSS file if you have one in your site, or CSS section of your HTML page file.

I have heard conflicting reports on their customer service. Some have had no problems, but some have said it’s very difficult to get help.

I find their account control panel to be unbearable. That is another big one for me, since I tinker in my control panel on a regular basis.

But don’t let my opinion affect you. If you are happy, then that is all that matters.

Their hosting services are the complete opposite of their registrar services. They have very unusual restrictions in plans (like a limit of 1000 e-mails sent per day in a DEDICATED SERVER, lol). These restrictions are hidden in it's "sales technics". The support is very slow, take more than 24 hours to answer questions. No guarantee, no refundable, no respect, no shame to provice a deficient service. They win money with it's hosting services lying to customers. It's probabbly an outsourced service. Terrible. Go to "Host for web", "Galaxy" etc. I lost USD 140 with them. Terrible. Flee from its host services!!</p> The worst website hosting is Godaddy.

GoDaddy is offering you FREE HOSTING, and the only way that they actually make any money from giving you free hosting is from the ads on your site.
