I recently started using GoDaddy to host my blog and I am very happy with them so far. Setting up the account and installing Wordpress via their one-click installation was very easy. My site loads very quickly and my traffic has even started to increase since I moved my site there. GoDaddy is definitely a safe bet when choosing a hosting company to host a wordpress blog.

I have used GoDaddy.com to host a small business site along with my business email for several years. Three months ago I launched a WordPress blog (www.htstechtips.com) hosted at GoDaddy and the process was a snap. With all the different pieces involved I was a little apprehensive beforehand but all went well. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with the rep before settling on GoDaddy and he handled all my questions without any problems.
I have always found GoDaddy’s support people to be knowledgeable, articulate, and relatively easy to reach. Plus I always receive an email survey to rate them after every phone call.
I do not have any real feel for how GoDaddy.com will scale as my site traffic increases but that is on my list for a future phone call to them. Only negative I have encountered is their user interface for managing my account — it is a bit cluttered, not the most intuitive, and could benefit from a real usability upgrade.
Definitely recommended for WordPress hosting.
