Use Hetzner or OVH or any of these: https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/aws-amazon-web-services
I’ve always found it weird that its called “GoDaddy” and I’ve never heard anyone question it. Like why on earth is that the name of the company?
I remember the era of “GoDaddy girls” and a different woman on the homepage each month. I actually emailed them feedback that it made me embarrassed to use their service in the workplace.
Because the domain for “Big daddy” was already taken.
I was looking for EU or UK registrars to transfer from GoDaddy and also learned 123-reg.co.uk has been bought by GoDaddy it seems?
I went with names.co.uk
GoDaddy was teaching master classes on enshittification before that was even an idea.
GoDaddy has been horrible forever.
Okay, I have no opinion on the whole but European thing… but OVH is garbage.
I’ve never used hetzner but I’ve heard nothing but good things. If I were to go European, that would be my choice.
Why? I don’t know much about these services but I bought a domain on OVH. No issues so far but would like to know if I might get some in the future…
OVH is notorious for bad support. I believe they might also have uptime issues.
Oooh, that explains so much. I had to switch the provider after many happy years with them and found a new home at Hetzner.
I left GoDaddy back in the Charles Dickens days of the interwebs. Absolutely, GTFO of there.
I am super happy with Uberspace if you need a simple host.
siteground has been a blessing after starting out in godaddy and getting out. Some of the best support I have had as well for wordpress hosting. I spit in the general direction of Godaddy any chance i can get
