Let me see if I understand. Your blog is on WordPress.com, and you want a link from your GoDaddy website to your WordPress.com blog. Is that it?

@nilminiklur I typed a lengthy answer to your question and then deleted it because I don’t want to steer you in the wrong direction.

I highly recommend adding @kristi-hines to your message/question because she uses Go Daddy and WP. Also, this article that she authored may help: http://kikolani.com/how-to-start-a-wordpress-blog.html

@nilminiklur  You don’t!!! GoDaddy sucks for hosting! Get a real hosting service like Bluehost or HostGator. C-panel hosting is best for a WordPress site, not the sucky proprietary GoDaddy hosting dashboard.

I very loudly echo the sentiments of @amyhallbiz and  @jim-lodico    just this week I have total freedom from the Godaddy clutches. I did a full client migration of ove 25 sites away from Godaddy because the are frankly terrible on so many levels!! 

Most notably, my sites were really slow, and so i asked tech if there was a problem, they said no, all is well. So i did a reverse DNS lookup on my IP and found that i was on a shared environment with 7,665 other domains! I don’t care how many resources they devoted to that server, 7,665 is insanity! 

So i complained again, and the operator / sales rep suggested that my sites were slow because i was on a shared hosting plan and that I should consider moving to a VPN. Mind you, my total monthly bandwidth for 15+ domains was less than 3G. 

But before i get too far off topic. Run from Godaddy now while you have the chance. host somewhere else, keep you domains on Godaddy for now, and point the DNS. Then once your sites are in order, move your domains as the come up for renewal. 

I will be glad to assist you for free just to help you avoid making a huge mistake getting your business hostage to the Godaddy. Not to mention their idea of reputation management is launching another soft porn made for internet commercial. 

@jim-lodico just have your client do a reverse DNS lookup and they will see how many they have also. I am now with MidPhase and could not be happier! 

In all fairness @glengorham you are correct to suggest that maybe myself,  @jim-lodico, and  @amyhallbiz did not directly answer the question, and I may have said more than i should have. Maybe i too should have excercised restrain like   @karenataylor. But, i am convinced that this is valuable information that is not just random ranting and brand busting without due cause. 

It is important to me that my peers here at SME Clubs will be honest and steer me in the right direction, which is why i felt validated in sharing my experience with Godaddy. So forgive me Glen if I have overstepped the etiquette of this forum, but it still believe that my response, though a bit heated, is appropriate to @nilminiklur original question. 

@amyhallbiz @jasonwiser @glengorham @jim-lodico @nilminiklur  I just wanted to add for the record that I’ve had issues with GoDaddy, but they’ve always been good about customer service and getting them resolved. I have used two other hosting companies and had worse issues. 

The biggest was, in a nutshell, I had some small sites hosted with hosting company to be unnamed.  They were running slow as snails and were down a lot aka, up less than the advertised 99.9%.  During the same time period, I had my main blog which had probably 10 times the traffic on a cheap GoDaddy plan.  The hosting company for my smaller sites told me I needed to upgrade to a much more expensive plan for some small WordPress sites that (in total) probably didn’t have more than 100 visits a day where my main blog with GoDaddy was getting over 1,000.  The hosting company for my smaller sites also questioned whether I was “sure” my sites were really down that often (like I don’t know whether a site is working vs. not working).  

In the end, I moved my small sites over to GoDaddy and they have been performing great ever since. Hiccups hear and there, but nothing like what I experience with the other company who wanted me to pay five times more per month than what I was paying with GoDaddy. So while it seems like everyone has problems with them, I typically have more problems with others.  

@jasonwiser All of my stuff was running on shared accounts at the time I had issues with the other hosting company.  I recently upgraded to a dedicated IP address for Kikolani though, but other than that, it’s still all on shared hosting.  I like to keep things inexpensive as long as possible.  :)

@kristi-hines @jasonwiser  Have either of you tried page.ly for WordPress hosting? I was at a WordCamp this weekend and I heard rave reviews … especially on site speed and cashe-ing. Just wondering.

@amyhallbiz haven’t tried it, but looks awesome! And if @yoast recommends it, I’m in. not in a position to test it now though. 

It takes some digging on Wordpress’s site but they offer a migration/transfer service for about $150. Might be worth it to get it out of the way.

@kristi-hines GoDaddy seems to be the company people love to hate. I’m very happy with them. In fact, I purchased more services today.
