How is GoDaddy for dedicated server hosting?

We currently have a dedicated server with Rackspace, and they've been
been great for 5 years now.
But they are SO expensive!
We're looking into GoDaddy's dedicated hosting, and they're 1/3 to
half as much but with even more features.
They have a basic external hardware firewall, Rackspace you pay
through the nose for.
They do their own full backups (restore in case of hardware failure
only) plus a very inexpensive backup server for us to use, Rackspace
has no in-case-of-hardware-fail backup and the optional backup is very
expensive.
Things like that. Full root access in both. GoDaddy uses CentOS, but
that's basically RHEL which is what Rackspace uses.

Anyway, we're very tempted, it would save us literally thousands of
dollars a year--but we need some opinions of people who may have used
or reviewed them.
Any feedback appreciated!

I'm (trying) to help a friend setup a MySQL db and use some simple scripts on a site hosted with GoDaddy. I note that GoDaddy appears to use Microsoft. I have done this: $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","mydatabase","password") or die ("Couldn't connect to server."); $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dummy"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql); echo $row; ?>

I have a site hosted on GoDaddy's shared platorm. I am trying to read XML from the yahoo RSS feed using the HttpWebRequest.GetResponse method and am getting a "401 access denied" exception. I have seen posts here before that indicate GoDaddy needs to provide a proxy to allow this to work properly. They claim this is not the case and want me to open a trouble ticket with their advanced support (this could cost money!).

Hi, I have a client who needs a semi-dedicated hosting presence. Specifically, ASP.NET 1.1 and SQL server 2000 (Access via enterprise manager). I would also like a referral plan so I get a % of the monthly hosting to put toward my own hosting charges ;) Thanks John

Hi folks, Just set up Dedicated Server Hosting with GoDaddy. I put a very simple ASP page in the home web directory and try to load it and get a very generic error. A simple HTML file works fine. Obviously it's a permissions issue or maybe some service is not running. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Dave

Hi all, I'm doing a little research into Windows-based managed/dedicated servers. There are a few companies that provide what I want with a reputation to back it up: rackspace.co.uk (recommended by a few people) and zen.co.uk (from personal experience of other products). Both of these solutions are at the upper end of the price bracket (between £250 and £400 per month based on dedicated or managed). I've also found lots and lots of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
