Still Hosting with GoDaddy? You Might Regret It…

Yikes.
If your website is hosted with GoDaddy, there’s a solid chance it’s been through more drama than a soap opera season finale—and now it’s officially government-certified.

The Federal Trade Commission recently confirmed what many GoDaddy users have been screaming into support chats for years: GoDaddy’s security practices were sketchy at best, and deceptive at worst.

So, what happened? And why are so many smart businesses packing up and fleeing to Melrose Multimedia?

Let’s break it down.

GoDaddy Caught
Red-Handed by the FTC

In January 2025, the FTC issued a press release revealing that Since 2018 GoDaddy:

• Failed to implement basic security measures like MFA
• Suffered multiple data breaches between 2019 and 2022
• Deceived customers by advertising “award-winning security” that… didn’t exist
• Violated international privacy frameworks

Basically, they rolled out the red carpet for hackers—then tried to sell you extra protection for the mess they created.

Melrose Multimedia: Where Security Isn’t a Sales Gimmick

Unlike GoDaddy, we don’t need the FTC to tell us to protect your website. We do it because it’s the bare minimum standard.

Here’s how Melrose Multimedia wins the security game:

• Backed by the Secure Hosting Alliance (via 20i)
• Real-time threat detection
• Isolated site environments
• Multi-Factor Authentication standard
• Firewall & brute force protection—all included

No upsells. No scare tactics. Just real security.

Transparent Pricing You Can Actually Understand

Let’s talk about GoDaddy’s pricing model. Imagine opening an invoice and discovering 14 charges you didn’t know you signed up for—because that’s exactly what happens.

With Melrose Multimedia, you get:

• Flat-rate pricing
• No hidden fees
• No “gotcha” renewals
• Domains that don’t vanish when you try to transfer

We believe your bill shouldn’t look like a Vegas slot machine.

Green Hosting That Doesn’t Cost the Earth

We host responsibly with 100% renewable energy through our partnership with 20i.
That means:

• Carbon-neutral operations
• Energy-efficient infrastructure
• You get to feel smug about helping the planet

Hosting with us is good for your business and your conscience.

Real Support. From Humans. Without the Pitch.

GoDaddy’s support system? A maze of upsells, vague answers, and 45-minute hold times.
Ours?

• Humans.
• Solutions.
• No pressure. Ever.

Call us, email us, or shout into the void—we’ll answer. (Except the void. It’s weird.)
