GoDaddy are a very big, affordable hosting service, and they're
WordPress friendly in that you can have WP installed through the
control panel without really knowing anything about it, which is great
for newbies--just a few clicks and you've got a blog up and running. I
managed to move my blog from WordPress.com to my own server in an
afternoon without too much trouble. It's only natural that they have
more WP blogs than other providers (I'm pretty sure that's accurate)
and that they get hit harder.
My website is still up and healthy today, which is cause for
restrained happiness given last week's events.
Cheers,
