I can't seem to get them to call me and I need to talk to them about some specifics before deciding on making a switch. I'm a little concerned that they won't call me, however, if you say they are good, I trust you and would really like to speak to them. Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p>@AtlantaWebDesign: I'm stoked that you haven't had problems with GoDaddy.....you are very fortunate...I on the other hand start to have issues once a site has over 150 visitors. I have the unlimited hosting account on a shared server and it is constantly down. We have moved my databases over to new servers and I still have issues. I have trouble shot my db's and they are 100% in tip top shape....GoDaddy has told me numerous times that one of my sites is too big....it has 300 pages and 150-200 visitors per day with only 600-700 pageviews per day......it's nothing fancy, so it begs me to believe that GoDaddy's "Unlimited" is heavily limited....but again...I'm very happy for you that your account seems to be running smoothly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/your-favorite-topic-notifications-and-godaddy#post-21719 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:17:14 +0000 AtlantaWebDesignGA 21719@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, StudioChazerai,</p> <p>There's nothing wrong with Gravity Forms email notificiations running on GoDaddy, based on my experience. Gravity Forms is the most reliable plug-in I use on WordPress.</p> <p>I've got somewhere between 30 and 50 clients using Gravity Forms on GoDaddy servers without issue, so it definitely does work. I had one website take 65,000 applications to work to cleanup the Gulf Oil Spill through Gravity Forms on GulfOilSpillJobs.com hosted on a $3.99 a month shared server at GoDaddy, so an enormous volume of visitors and emails in a few weeks time went though without issues. Here's how I setup:</p> <p>1) Use any email from address, doesn't have to be a GoDaddy account. I've used Gmail and Google Apps addresses primarily as the From address. I usually have that email registered as an Admin in WordPress users, however. Maybe that's a key.<br /> 2) I do not install ANY email plug-ins, such as any SMTP plug-in. I've never needed one so far. It just works with whatever is natively in the WordPress install and the default GoDaddy server settings.</p> <p>I cannot speak for GoDaddy's Windows hosting, which has its issues with WordPress and with email. Almost all my clients are on a $3.99 a month shared Linux hosting account, and as you many know, all new accounts on GoDaddy are getting installed on their Grid Server 4GH (4th Generation Hosting) which is incredibly fast at running WordPress installs, much much faster than the 20+ other hosting companies I have WordPress clients running on. The Grid of course means your web site is running on many servers, not one, with unlimited resources available to your site as needed. See <a href="http://help.godaddy.com/article/4883#welcome" rel="nofollow">http://help.godaddy.com/article/4883#welcome</a> for details on the 4GH Grid.</p> <p>Perhaps I'm having no problems with Gravity Forms email because I've migrated all my clients from the legacy GoDaddy servers to the powerful Grid Server, which you can do for FREE by clicking on your Web Hosting Account Settings to change your hosting plan from "Shared Hosting - Economy" TO "Hosting - Web - Economy - Linux". If it says "Web" in the plan name it secretly means it's the Grid Server, not a conventional server. There is no Windows Grid Server at GoDaddy, only Linux, but Linux definitely is first choice for WordPress since my experience is WP runs better on Linux than on Windows hosts. Moving your site to the Grid takes one mouse click and usually within an hour (on a weekday) your site is moved automatically, no down time involved, but your IP address will change if you need to FTP into your site.</p> <p>If you try to switch and the GoDaddy popup says to please call tech support because you are on such an old legacy server that you can't automatically migrate to the Grid, no need to call -- they will simply tell you to do this: first go into your hosting account and activate SSH (free) because that forces GoDaddy to move your site to a newer legacy server, and then once moved there you do a second move of your site for free to the Grid Server. That process will take about 24 hours to finish up, no downtime for your site, just slower on GoDaddy's end because it isn't automated.</p> <p>If you need further instructions or continue to have issues contact me through my website contact form at <a href="http://www.AtlantaWebDesignGA.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.AtlantaWebDesignGA.com</a> and I'll provide more advice/help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/your-favorite-topic-notifications-and-godaddy#post-21701 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 13:42:10 +0000 Carl Hancock 21701@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is a lot of posts/records.

How reliable do you feel KahunaHost.com is? Would they be able to support a large wordpress-based directory site with.....say 200,000 posts/records on their shared hosting package. I ask you, because if I ask a salesman there, they will say "of course...we won't let you down" lol </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/your-favorite-topic-notifications-and-godaddy#post-21478 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:38:48 +0000 Carl Hancock 21478@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We recommend KahunaHost.com and Page.ly for WordPress hosting. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/your-favorite-topic-notifications-and-godaddy#post-21438 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 22:58:51 +0000 StudioChazerai 21438@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure I've tried setting the "from" address to a goDaddy-hosted email account, but I'll try that again tonight to be sure and get back to you. I'll also see if it changes anything if my default email account is set to a GoDaddy-hosted email account.</p> <p>At the very least this situation may be GoDaddy "wearing on my last good nerve" -- I haven't had email issues until now, but I've had hosting, billing, and privacy-compliance issues. If I can't get this latest issue resolved, I may just pack up my sites and migrate them to another hosting provider. </p> <p>I'm open to recommendations for hosting providers. Must have similar technology capabilities as GoDaddy, provide shared hosting options, wordpress support, etc. You guys know how we like it. ;-) </p>
