Jack_mcs Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I haven't hosted a site with them but I work on many sites that do. They have always done things a little backwards there, though they are improving. If you decide to host with them, pay for the most expensive plan you can afford. On many hosts, the difference in plans are just things like disk and bandwidth space, but with godaddy, there is a big difference in the speed of the servers they use. Be sure to choose a Linux server and have someone that can handle the technical issues because tech support there is not what it should be. These are just my opinions based on my experience with them so take them for what they are worth.

patterson Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 I"m really trying to find out exactly how to do this....step by step. I already paid for the hosting and need the site to be transferred to the godaddy hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥GLWalker Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Although you may have paid for the hosting, its no excuse to use it, may be cheaper in the long run to avoid them. Ive worked on their servers before, and as already mentioned, they do things backwards. If you search the forums deep enough you'll find various post concerning godaddy and running osCommerce with them. Follow the community build: BS3 to osCommerce Responsive from the Get Go!

♥toyicebear Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 It is usually no problem to run oscommerce on Godaddy hosting, just make sure you have a LINUX plan. You can then easily install a new oscommerce shop: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/162231-quick-install-guide/ Or Transfer over an existing oscommerce shop: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/82107-how-to-move-oscommerce/ Basics for osC 2.2 Design - Basics for Design V2.3+ - Seo & Sef Url's - Meta Tags for Your osC Shop - Steps to prevent Fraud... - MS3 and Team News... - SEO, Meta Tags, SEF Urls and osCommerce - Commercial Support Inquiries - OSC 2.3+ How To To see what more i can do for you check out my profile [click here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Biancoblu Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I've never used godaddy hosting, but I transferred my domain to them when I wanted to change registrars. Like previously said, their support leaves a lot to be desired and in my case they couldn't handle private name servers regardless of my entering the correct info and IPs. Based on my experience I don't recommend them. ~ Don't mistake my kindness for weakness ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
