GoDaddy virtual dedicated servers

Solution 1:

GoDaddy's business model has historically involved high volume low overhead products. They typically are not the guys developing new solutions or pushing the technical envelope to make stand out products. They usually ride whatever wave is out there and try to cash in by bringing it to the masses. While some people would argue they are a great registrar, I would say their track record as a hosting company, particularly when it comes to security, is sub-par.

With that in mind, if the product you plan to go live with is of significant importance to you, I would consider moving it elsewhere.

As a side note, I think their use of the term "virtual dedicated server" is just a marketing twist on the more widely used term "virtual private server" or VPS. The fact that they play with their terminology like that shows they are marketing experts, not technology leaders. The world of cloud computing is full of buzzwords that don't mean much, but trying to work the word "dedicated" into a virtual computing offering is pretty out there.
