  Don’t we wish we could just have a few minutes alone with the hacker?

  Hard to justify a dedicated server for most folks. Going from ~$80/yr to ~$80/mo is a big jump.

  Godaddy services have received many negative feedback recently, it is difficult for people to believe in such vulnerable host.

    GoDaddy isn’t perfect but my experience has been very positive, even in the event of a negative incident. I give a lot of weight on how a company helps me handle a problem, regardless of whether or not it was truly preventable.

  I’ve relived one of my experiences when reading your post heh.
  Back when I was using another hosting provider, my FTP was hacked and all of my websites were flooded with thousands of links towards ugly and illegal websites, almost impossible to remove manually. Despite the fact that I managed resolving the issue, I moved to GoDaddy and I must say I am ‘very’ happy with their services. Once you get accustomed with their system, GoDaddy will most likely be anyone’s #1, I have a few good years with them.

  Also, I forgot to mention that so far I haven’t made any manual backups of my WP, even though my host does that already, I’m going to start backing up periodically, both files and databases.

    Even though I have my own backups, I pray I will never have to use them. They’re my contingency plans’ contingency plan.

  This is a very nice feedback on GoDaddy. Can you tell me though, if there’s any difference between shared hosting and dedicated server or VPS regarding chances of your website being hacked?

    Hey, I’m not a professional hacker so I’m not qualified to provide you with that answer.

    That said, from my experience, all servers are vulnerable to a degree and a one variable that shouldn’t be discounted is how secure your own passwords are.

    As i am aware of, sharing hosting is a webhost that you use with millions of people, so you share the host with them, it is more easier to hack, this is why the price is more affordable.

    VPS and dedicated server is like you own your webhost yourself and you don’t share with anyone else, the price is more expensive but more “safe”.

      Yes, I know about the expensive price of other options, and the problem is, I am not good in these technical issues but as a site owner, I need to find out on these matters. From my impression, if many sites from different owners are hosted on one server, they all can be vulnerable if a single virus gets to that server. But on the other hand, if you’re not experienced admin, even with dedicated server you can get viruses on your sites.
      So in any case this article is a very good reminder of backups, as most people like to learn when it’s already too late

  Godaddy gets a lot of heat for various things, but it’s in the nature of these kinds of shared hosting services to be more vulnerable. People alternately curse and swear by just about any of them. That’s certainly my experience with Bluehost.

    There’s a handful of big names out there, GoDaddy and BlueHost obviously being two of them. The bigger they are, the more complaints we can find.

    Honestly, I would say half the time we have a legitimate complaint but I find that the other half, the user has unrealistic expectations.

  I have had this happen to me only once. It was awful. I have use Go Daddy for several years and you are right, they helped me through a time I thought was going to put me down for some time. I am glad that they are as helpful as they are. This is the kind of service everyone should give.

  I guess none of webhosting is perfect.

  It is horrible to be hacked, and i hope it won’t happen to you again, Gabe.

  So glad to see your site alive again.

  Cheers.

  I think everyone who is using computer in any form for at least a year must have faced the virus/malware issue…It’s always wise to install a antivirus. Prevention is better than cure.

  That’s a pretty scary experience. I didn’t know GoDaddy has backups for the last 30 days. That sure saved you time and money. I might have to switch.

  And they have Danica and other to look at on their site. That’s a plus.

  i don’t use godaddy but it is one of the host servers i gladly recommend to others. i use 1and1 and alentus. i’ve also used some others i won’t name. these 3 host servers provide excellent customer service. alentus backs up your site every day. when you have problems you can’t trade this type of service for another host server that was free or costs a 1.00 a month.

  I also use Godaddy, but as a domain registrar and not as a web host. It;s great that they’ve been able to help you with your problem Gabe, but the fact that it has been infected with malware just points to its security issues. That was NOT supposed to happen and it’s their fault!

  Hi – really great web site you have established. I had fun reading this posting. I had an urge to publish a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically sweet. I used to be a website designer, now I am a simple employee for a big corporation. I have always enjoyed playing with computing machines and am attempting to learn computer code in my free time (which there is never enough of lol).

  Recently, one of my shared servers over at DreamHost was DDOS attacked (not my site, but another 1 in the server). I’m thinking of moving to a VPS or dedicated server because of that.
