Godaddy is good for domains but terrible for hosting, just google for some reviews.

I recommend and personally use:
http://www.hostmonsterplus.com
They have unlimited space and transfer.
They give you a free domain for life.
They have php and mysql if you ever use those.
You can also add as many domains (.com, .net, …) as you like so you can have many different sites for 1 hosting price.
They also give you free $50 Google Credits for advertising your site.

If you go with them and have any trouble making your site feel free to PM me, I have a lot of experience there.

Whatever you choose, the best luck to you.

I have only bought my domain names from godaddy. I personally use http://www.asmallorange.com/ I haven’t had any issues with them. When I have needed help, customer service was quick to reply, really helpful, and super nice.

I’ve been with GoDaddy for well over 5 years (hosting *and* domains), and have yet to have any issues with them.

They’re fast, extremely helpful… and extremely polite, and they go out of their way to make your business with them a good experience (they’re the only online company I’ve ever dealt with that call you simply to inquire if there’s any questions or issues they could possibly help you with…)

I’m not too crazy about their control panel, but it’s better than a lot of others out there, and I use FTP to manage my files, anyway…

Godaddy is okay, but I keep getting sick everytime I log on to their site… So much publicity!!!

The good thing about Godaddy is that they offer both Windows and Linux hosting. This is good if you plan to have a .NET site (Windows).

I’ve gone with Modhost.com (Linux hosting) for many years now and it’s great: affordable, and also easy management. (Management at Godaddy is confusing for new comers; you’ll feel more comfortable with Modhost).

Never had a problem with them.

Good luck!

You may search http://answers.yahoo.com for answers or, i’d recommend Hostgator for it is more reliable than others.
after running with hostgator for a few months and had zero downtime and the forum and blog and email have been very fast. We’re sure that hostgator is very fast and stable web hosting provider.

Godaddy hosting is really slow

Godaddy works great, they are reliable and have a pretty good support.
I recommend their Deluxe plan (you can host multiple sites on a single account).
Price: $6.99/month
Price of a discounted domain with any hosting plan is $2.19

They also have a 20% sale at the moment.
(They don’t advertise it anywhere on their site)
Use the "Save 20%" link http://www.hosttell.com/

I have been hosted with GoDaddy for less than a month, and have been down, offline, due to their screw up, for nearly the last week. I requested a migration from Windows shared hosting to Linux shared hosting. This is a dramatically simple operation, and GoDaddy screwed it up, and I have spent literally hours on the phone over the past 6 days trying to get it cleared up, to no avail. They are now ‘holding my domain hostage’, and I am out of business, with no recourse. I am losing money and clients, and all they do is tell me they are looking into it, and that it will take up to 72 hours. Meanwhile, as I said, I am losing money and clients.

I would not recommend GoDaddy ever. Period. Their customer service is definitely among the worst I have *ever* encountered in my entire life.
