GoDaddy’s dedicated servers have been a go-to for many businesses, offering solid performance and a range of features that get the job done. They’ve served a lot of companies well. But if the sunset of GoDaddy dedicated hosting has you searching for a new home for your online projects, Liquid Web might be your best bet.

GoDaddy’s weak spot: customization

At Liquid Web, we take things up a notch. Our dedicated servers feature higher-end hardware and more customization options. Plus, enjoy built-in security features, like DDoS protection and automatic backups, at no extra cost and round-the-clock support from experts who really know their stuff.

More than a host, Liquid Web is a partner

GoDaddy dedicated servers include the basics and nothing more. You don’t automatically get a hosting experience that’s fine-tuned to your needs. That means getting your server set up correctly requires an investment of time, money, and patience. With Liquid Web, you get not just top-tier performance but a hosting partner that supports you at every stage of your business journey.

GoDaddy dedicated server alternative FAQ

A GoDaddy dedicated server is a type of web hosting service where an entire physical server is allocated to a single customer. This setup provides more resources and greater control compared to shared hosting or virtual private servers (VPS). GoDaddy’s dedicated servers typically come with features like dedicated IP addresses and enhanced security measures.

GoDaddy hasn’t provided detailed reasons for the discontinuation, but industry experts say several factors could’ve influenced the decision, including the competitive landscape, market trends, and resource allocation.

If GoDaddy’s automated migration fails, they say the affected server will be suspended about a week before its deletion date, leaving customers with limited time to move their data. This means customers should act quickly to migrate to a new server to avoid potential data loss or downtime.
