I have a history hosting with GoDaddy. The larger they got, the less services they supported for the hosting customer, especially the shared hosting accounts.
With the aquisition of HEG, they have become a behemoth:
• In July 2012, GoDaddy announced it would acquire Outright for an undisclosed amount.
• In August 2013, GoDaddy announced it would acquire Locu for $70 million.
• In September 2013, GoDaddy acquired domain marketplace Afternic from NameMedia. GoDaddy will also acquire domain parking service SmartName and business name generator NameFind.
• On October 15, 2013, GoDaddy acquired web hosting service provider Media Temple. In a newsletter sent to its customers, Media Temple said that they "will continue operating as an independent and autonomous company."
• In July 2014, GoDaddy acquired Canary, a small Cambridge-based smart calendar service.
• On August 20, 2014, GoDaddy acquired Mad Mimi, a Brooklyn-based email marketing service.
• In April 2015, GoDaddy acquired Elto, "a San Francisco-based startup which had been offering a marketplace that helped connect business owners and other non-technical people to web developers who could help them establish and improve their web presence."
• In April 2015 and November 2015, GoDaddy acquired the domain portfolios of Marchex and Worldwide Media respectively.
• On May 17, 2016, GoDaddy acquired FreedomVoice for $42 million in cash. FreedomVoice is a provider of cloud-based VoIP phone systems across the United States.
• On December 6, 2016, GoDaddy announced its acquisition of Host Europe Group.
