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.
GoDaddy has been horrible forever.
GoDaddy was teaching master classes on enshittification before that was even an idea.
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
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.
I left GoDaddy back in the Charles Dickens days of the interwebs. Absolutely, GTFO of there.
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 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
