GoDaddy
GoDaddy sells the building blocks of a website: domain names, hosting, a website builder and business email. Founded in 1997 and based in Tempe, Arizona, it serves UK customers through a dedicated UK site. Products are digital, so domains and hosting go live as soon as an order is paid. Small businesses, freelancers and first-time site owners are its main audience.

More ways to save at GoDaddy
- Student discountThere is conflicting information regarding student discounts. Some sources indicate GoDaddy offers special discounts for students, accessible by verifying student status, possibly through a .edu email address or via providers like Student Beans and UNiDAYS. However, other sources state that GoDaddy currently does not offer discounts to students.
- NHS discountInformation on NHS/healthcare worker discounts is mixed. Some sources mention a 30% discount for healthcare workers and a 50% discount for NHS staff via Blue Light Card. Conversely, other sources indicate that GoDaddy does not offer an NHS-specific discount.
- Military discountConflicting information also exists for military/armed forces discounts. Some sources state that GoDaddy offers special savings for active duty, veterans, or military family members, potentially requiring verification through a service like ID.me. Other sources, however, claim that GoDaddy does not have a military discount at this time.

About GoDaddy
Products and plans
Domain registration is the usual starting point, and existing domains can be transferred from other registrars. Hosting comes in shared, VPS, dedicated and managed WordPress plans. Shared hosting suits small sites, VPS gives a growing site more resources, and dedicated servers offer the most power. A drag-and-drop website builder with templates lets people create a site without coding. Add-ons include professional email, SSL certificates and online marketing tools, plus options for selling online.
Before you buy
Most products carry a 30-day refund policy, and annual plans can be refunded in full within 30 days. A domain transfer typically takes 5 to 7 days and may add a year to the registration. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or PayPal. UK customers can call support on +44 20 7084 1810 at any hour, every day. Web designers and developers can join GoDaddy Pro for extra benefits and rewards. Shopperazzi lists GoDaddy's current products and offers.
