2. Go Daddy - Some Good Lots Bad

We signed up and paid for 2 years on advance for two things: Web hosting for four domains, and email for a different domain. After that first week our experience is that their email pipe and server load is favourably done, but after our web tech and Ruby specialist discovered that our shared web hosting account was not nearly $6/mo, but in order to deploy the site as Ruby normally does, we'd have to get their dedicated server, a 500% increase in the monthly price, but also would have to retain a $75/mo specialist. We cancelled the web hosting. Told their so-called Customer Appreciation Team we liked the email service and want it not to be disturbed.
