Plus, it offers flexibility to create applications using CMS sites on WordPress, Joomla and Drupal<\/strong> and also if you are a developer, it offers flexibility through its developer tools like cPanel, Python, PHP and MySQL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStronger than ever Uptime <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAn uptime rate for a website is an important factor, because if it’s not, what is the use of looking out for web hosting companies? Luckily, GoDaddy, understanding this pain, offers you an average uptime speed of 99.9%<\/strong> throughout the year. There are hardly any chances where GoDaddy\u2019s downtime rates have come down to the average limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPricing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom the pricing point of view the pricing offered by GoDaddy<\/strong> is pretty competitive, and the reason we say so is primarily because if you look at the basic web hosting plan, it starts from a minimal $6.26\/month (Highest Tier Web Hosting Plan). <\/strong>One big reason why GoDaddy prices are so affordable is because they hit you with upsells in the name of some extra Website security, Standard SSL Certificate and so on. Choose wisely, before you make your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEnsures 24\/7 Customer Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n24\/7 customer support<\/strong> is something that is the backbone for GoDaddy and that is the reason, how GoDaddy<\/strong> has been growing leaps and bounds year on year. Well, if you do visit GoDaddy\u2019s website also, you\u2019ll find it has a 4.7 start rating <\/strong>by Trustpilo<\/strong>t. To be honest, when I tried messaging on GoDaddy\u2019s chat feature, I got a reply immediately (thanks to bots) but it was quick. Generally, after qualifying a question from you the bot designates an actual person for your service, which is fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMake use of best Web Security tools <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are a website owner or not, you must be knowing how important it is to have an SSL Certificate<\/strong> (Secure Socket layer). There is a link that is being created by the SSL mechanism between the web server and Web browser<\/strong> to ensure that all data that is passing through is safe and remains private. For your information, Google tends to favor sites that have SSL Encryption<\/strong> and that is how GoDaddy’s web security tool helps your website gain visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProvides an entire Digital Marketing Suite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are looking out for a breakthrough in order to attract more and more customers for your business, then GoDaddy is still there to help, how? Through its Digital marketing suite<\/strong>. The beauty of this feature from GoDaddy is that it helps you use useful marketing strategies through just one dashboard<\/strong>. So, what comes included in this Digital Marketing Suite? Well, to help you, it comes with provision to help you create social media ads and posts <\/strong>which you can do through GoDaddy\u2019s custom templates<\/strong>, images<\/strong> and theme<\/strong>. What else you can do,<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nYou can create a market planner with 200 plus upcoming events<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nYou can engage with your target customers by its easy to create emails<\/li>\n\n\n\n SEO – friendly<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nYou can track your marketing success such as email posts through Analytics and Reporting feature<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Key Network Solutions features<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSupports Free Open-Source Applications <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nInterestingly, the hosting company Network solutions comes with a few great open-source applications and developer tools such as joomla, Drupal, WordPress, python, PHP, MySQL, Ruby<\/strong> to name a few. So, you see, how convenient it becomes to create an own website based on one of the best programming languages one wants too.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTimely and Routine backups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis feature is based on the plan that you choose, and why we say that is primarily because some plans from Network Solutions offer daily whereas some plans do offer weekly backup<\/strong> for its users. Nevertheless, in order to enhance your website, the hosting company makes use of CodeGuard<\/strong>, for automated website backup, monitoring <\/strong>and restore services<\/strong>, but the only drawback with this feature is that it doesn\u2019t come included with the plan and has to be purchased additionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\nComes SSL Protected <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis feature which we are here talking about is a feature which needs no separate pointing out, reason, because the feature is no longer a want but a need for any user from an hosting company and therefore to secure your site from unnecessary trespassers, transactions, logins and transfer,<\/strong> it provides full encryption<\/strong>, which in general speaking is between the Web Server and the browser. Usually, trespassing is done by traffickers who see if the site isn\u2019t protected, they tend to penetrate inside but with SSL protected sites<\/strong> such as from Network Solutions, it is a next to impossible thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGuarantees 99.9 % Uptime<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nAgain, the mentioned point isn\u2019t a want but a necessity. Any hosting company you see today, comes claiming a 99.9 % uptime, which in fact is an important feature. But why is it an important factor? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll explain through an analogy. Suppose you are an owner of an eCommerce website and just because your server is down (Downtime), do you feel, any visitor will come to your website to purchase anything, not a chance. To support of what we are saying, this year (2022),<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nA big hosting company Cloudflare suffered an outage <\/strong>that affected 19 of its data centers <\/strong>due to the change in the network Configuration<\/strong>. The outage impacted company sites like Discord, Fitbit, Shopify<\/strong> to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nIn 2021, Google Cloud suffered a two-hour long outage<\/strong> caused by configuration change which disrupted businesses like Snapchat, Etsy, Spotify, Home Depot, to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nDaily Malware Scanning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTaking Cyber security safety as its primary feature, once again, the hosting company in order to keep your website up and running smoothly, uses a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy from its partner SiteLock in order<\/strong> to prevent digital risks. The comprehensive security solutions from SiteLock protects you from phishing scams, DDoS attacks, malicious code, ransomware or any kind of cyber threats. What else are its features?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nScans on a daily basis <\/strong>to find possible threats<\/li>\n\n\n\nProvides a Automated malware Removal<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nHas ability to fix any kind of vulnerability<\/li>\n\n\n\n Has a powerful CDN <\/strong>to accelerate your site speed<\/li>\n\n\n\nAgainst advanced cyberthreats it has a powerful WAF security<\/strong> (Web Application Firewall)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOne – Time Package Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn order to provide its customers with exclusivity with its customer care such as configuring or troubleshooting, the company Network Solutions has a one-time package named \u201cMyTime Support\u201d <\/strong>an advanced help feature that goes beyond just a regular customer support call. It comes with two packages, one with support to only websites and the second with support to Website plus whole office support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow is the time to elaborate the depths of each feature and understand its nitty-gritty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>2. Website Performance (Uptime and Speed): Network Solutions vs GoDaddy<\/strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAs mentioned above, an uptime and speed<\/strong> are an important factor behind any website\u2019s smooth running and also a critical feature or component from any hosting company. As mentioned with the given analogy above, downtime, which is contrary to what we are speaking, if in any case doesn\u2019t perform well, may cause disaster unrecoverable. Practically, nobody likes to be downtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSuppose, a customer visiting your website regardless of the need, finds that your website is taking more time than expected or in a worst-case scenario is displaying a 404 error. What do you feel your business will take off towards? Many call it loss of revenue. So, in such cases an Uptime speed of 99.9 %<\/strong> from hosting companies like GoDaddy and network Solutions becomes a paradigm. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to some experts, server location is also another factor for any site\u2019s performance and speed.<\/strong> In order to check this, one should look out for a content delivery network (CDN).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nGoDaddy Uptime Speed <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nGoDaddy\u2019s <\/strong>delivers a quite average uptime on their shared hosting plans and if we look at its average collected from the last 6 months, you\u2019ll find it to be around 99.98 %<\/strong> which also means an hour and a half downtime\/year. Speaking of the stats collected from last 6 months, look below<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nIn September (2022) – 99.96%<\/li>\n\n\n\n In August (2022) – 100%<\/li>\n\n\n\n In July (2022) – 100%<\/li>\n\n\n\n In June (2022) – 99.94%<\/li>\n\n\n\n In May (2022) – 99.98%<\/li>\n\n\n\n In April (2022) – 100%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nNetwork Solutions Uptime speed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNetwork Solutions uptime speed is just similar to what GoDaddy has. It\u2019s because, if you check its uptime speed from the last 6 months<\/strong>, the average you\u2019ll find will be 99.69% <\/strong>which is again, nothing compared to sites which under-performs drastically. Look below at the uptime speeds from the last 6 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n
