GoDaddy is one of the world’s best-known domain registrars, and many people buy hosting there simply because their domain already lives in the same account. That convenience is real. Whether it is good value depends on which plan you pick and how carefully you read the checkout.
GoDaddy web hosting plans
All intro prices apply to the first three-year term:
- Economy: $5.99/mo (regular $11.99). One website, 25 GB NVMe, free SSL for one year.
- Hosting for WordPress Basic: $5.99/mo (regular $14.99). One website, 10 GB NVMe, SSL with no renewal fee.
- Deluxe: $7.99/mo (regular $16.99). Ten websites, 50 GB NVMe, free unlimited SSL.
- Ultimate: $12.99/mo (regular $21.99). Twenty-five websites, 75 GB NVMe, free unlimited SSL.
Web Hosting plans list automatic daily backups, a free domain and free email, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What we like
Managing your domain, email and hosting in one account is genuinely simpler for non-technical owners. Daily backups on the Web Hosting plans and NVMe storage across the range are solid foundations, and Deluxe offers ten websites at a reasonable intro price.
What to watch for
GoDaddy’s plan page shows struck-through regular prices but not formal renewal rates, so check your cart and invoice carefully. Free SSL on Economy covers only the first year. Intro prices are higher than budget rivals, and the lowest rates require a three-year term.
Who should choose GoDaddy
GoDaddy suits owners who value having everything with one company and want daily backups without extra setup. Deluxe is the plan we would choose for its ten sites and unlimited SSL.
How it compares
Against Hostinger and Bluehost, GoDaddy’s intro prices are higher and its renewal rates are less clearly published, though its daily backups beat their entry-level weekly backups. Against Namecheap, both keep domains and hosting together, but Namecheap is cheaper to run long term and publishes its renewals. If your domain already sits at GoDaddy and you value having a single bill, the convenience may justify the extra cost; otherwise compare the three-year totals first, including the cost of keeping SSL on Economy after its first year.
The verdict
Convenient and dependable, but not the cheapest. Confirm the renewal price in your cart before you pay.
