Did you know that GoDaddy is much more than a registrar. Not only are they the largest domain registrar but their hosting solutions are many. They have shared hosting, which is what most companies have. Dedicated servers are also an option. However Go Daddy also has the latest technology such as their 4GH platform and cloud servers. More below on both, but first be sure to grab a godaddy hosting coupon for 20% off.

4GH Platform
This is what GoDaddy hosting calls their 4th Generation Hosting platform. They address reliability, security and performance.

Reliability
If you have your website sitting on one server, or a piece of a server, and that server has issues then your site could be unavailable. In that case the host is unreliable. GoDaddy tackles that with a multi-server environment such that your site is mirrored across multiple servers. This is not a new idea however typically not available at their price point. I have done that in the past but with my own servers, in my own rack at a data center. Which is obviously much more time consuming and expensive. The beauty of their system is that you do nothing, they replicate the site across multiple servers for you.

Security
GoDaddy provides a 24/7 365 day a year site monitoring service. This is included in their 4GH plan. Also know that they block an average of 3.3 million attacks across sites hosted with them everyday. They obviously have experience.

Performance
Performance is affected by load balancing. As an example let’s assume your site usually has 100 people visit it in a day and instead it has 1,000 in an hour. It is possible that your site will have issues responding to everyone’s request to view your site. Since Go Daddy mirrors your site across multiple servers they can also load balance the traffic and essentially send only a portion of that traffic to each server. This decreases the likelihood that the site will be more responsive for everyone.

Cloud Servers
GoDaddy calls their cloud server product the Virtual Data Center. That is a great name. A data center is a grouping of hundreds or thousands of computers. That is where you go when you need to scale your website or web services, at least you did prior to could servers. Now GoDaddy cloud servers allow you to have the benefits of instant scalability. You can add or remove servers at any time. You can utilize the much talked about cloud technology at a very affordable price, particularly if you use one of our GoDaddy hosting coupons.
