    I never used GoDaddy. I'm not satisfied with their service. They may be cheap but not worth the price.

    Your not satisfied with their service, yet you have never used their services?
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    yes 1 & 1 has started using a support centre in india to outsource their support. i did the same thing a couple of years ago, but i ended up getting some bad feedback from my clients, so i decided to stop this.
    Go Daddy are American, but they have a European support centre. hosting offered by these domain registrars are usually just basic hosting with limited resources and will not allow for dedicated IPs or ssl certs unless you upgrade to a overly charged plan, which is usually through a sponsor the same as their basic plans, so they resell hosting for someone else.

    Godaddy are reasonably competetive for their own (I have never heard claims before that they resell servers for other people) VPS and Dedicated accounts.

    Amazon AWS S3 is a fully redundant data storage infrastructure for storing and retrieving any amount of data. it is not a web hosting solution

    Amazon Cloudfront is a CDS (content delivery service) which gives you a unique CloudFront.net domain name (e.g. abc123.cloudfront.net) and is not really a serious hosting solution

    It is quite reasonable to store large assets inside S3 and access them via http - it is cheap, scaleable, etc. Cloudfront is a CDN, and designed for high availability high speed delivery by holding cached copies in each territory for rapid delivery making it great for global sites, or ones with media content to deliver via http/rtmp. And assuming you can CNAME, you can have the domain as whatever you wish. It also supports custom 404's etc. Still for static sites, mind, which is why I mention EC2 for completeness.

    Only one problem. If you use Wordpress you can't upload anything from the Dashboard, only via FTP (unless they've sorted out the Apache rights issue).
