[QUOTE="onlinetv, post: 2293856, member: 94869"] I have only one website under the godaddy dns services. They gave me the free website because I was a pro reseller. At first I hosted the site I use to sell domains. It was hacked in a couple months. Simple wordpress site. Somehow they hacked right in and took over the whole deal placing a gay porn site on it. The web site got banned on all services because of the malware on it. It took me days to clean it up. I still have their source in a zip file. I did nothing with the site for a long time and then I hosted another game site, selling weather prediction devices, as it was basically a one page site that did sales. It too was hacked within a couple months, and that was this year! I cleaned up the site, remade it new, and locked it down with every trick I knew and new tools. It still uses their dns servers, but it has been okay since renewed and locked down. No users, no rss feeds, nothing for interaction. It should just be an html site but you can strip most of the interaction stuff out of wordpress if you want and it is a good CMS. When the seconds hack came there I knew it had something to so with GoDaddy and not the software. I have 100 other sites on other hosts, and through the years many, many hosts. Never had this kind of problem, never hacked, until one under godaddy. If you use them BEWARE and watch your site closely. They are really big and that is the reason they are a big target. [/QUOTE]
