Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer’s additional concerns. We stand by our previous response. Notices were sent to our customer at the email address on file informing them their hosting plan was at risk of cancellation due to auto-renew being turned off. These notices were sent on the following dates.• March 28, 2017• April 14,2017• April 24, 2017As stated previously, the reason we charge a recovery attempt fee is not a punitive reason, rather, our administrators must perform data recovery work to see if the deleted content can be restored and restore it if available. Our customer is under no obligation to pay the restore fee, provided they have their own independent backups of their content. Account management is a customer responsibility.Our customer may utilize their own backups of their content, if they do not have this, they can either pay the restore fee to have their content restored, work with their web-developer if one created their website to obtain the content or our customer may want to visit archival sites such as http://archive.org for any available content.However, as a one-time exception, we will reduce the restore fee to $75. Should our customer wish to accept this offer, they will need to purchase a new cPanel hosting plan and contact our Customer Care at their earliest convenience.Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.Kindest regards,Ken C[redacted]Office of the CEO - GoDaddy
Hello- This complaint has not been resolved. I purchased the domain [redacted] form GoDaddy and paid $400. In addition, I bought a number of similar domains to protect others from encroaching on searches for [redacted]One month after my purchase, GoDaddy removed the [redacted] domain from my account, The price of the domain is now $2426 - over 6x what I paid for it. This is unacceptable. Can you please assist?Kind regards,[redacted]
Thank you for the response. However the product renewal setting was not set to automatically renew on this account. Why would some of the products renew before others if the original start dates are the same? No email was sent to notify that the ssl certificate would renew. As far as the refund of course it is past the policy allowed time now but it wasn't when godaddy was notified of the intent to settle the issue. Access denied through shady customer service tactics and rudely so at that. Terrible way to run business and even with millions of customers, near a thousand complaints is to many. Thanks again for the reply.
Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the complainant. We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.The complainant acknowledged and agreed to the following agreements upon conducting...
business with GoDaddy:• GoDaddy Universal Terms of Service Agreement• GoDaddy Domain Name Registration Agreement• GoDaddy Domain Name Proxy AgreementThe latest version of these agreements can be found at: https://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspxOn January 31, 2010 during an online transaction the complainant purchased the Domain Name in question with GoDaddy’s Protected Registration Service for a five year term. One of the features of our Protected Registration service is to protect against the cancellation/expiration of the domain name. Domain names which have this service cannot be canceled until the Protected Registration is canceled. This is done by way of submitting a valid government issued ID, Business ID if applicable, and a signed form to our Domain Services Department.On February 12, 2015 the complainant’s Domain Name with Protected Registration was automatically renewed per the complainants account preferences for a five year term.GoDaddy sent notices prior to the expiration dates of this service on:• November 2, 2014• December 2, 2014• January 1, 2015• January 16, 2015• January 21, 2015On March 18, 2015 the complainant contacted GoDaddy’s Customer Care Center to request assistance in cancelling the Domain Name with Protected Registration proper instructions were provided at that time.On April 3, 2015 GoDaddy was notified by the complainant’s financial institution that the account holder for the payment method used has disputed the transactions through their issuing bank. Per our terms of service, the domain name with associated services were suspended from the GoDaddy account. RESOLUTION: GoDaddy has upheld its agreements in good faith with the complainant and honored its terms of service. Specifically, GoDaddy renewed the complainant's services upon expiration per the account renewal preferences. Furthermore, the services the complainant purchased functioned as specified. Account management is a customer responsibility.There are currently no active products within the complainant's GoDaddy account and no actions can be taken regarding the account pending resolution of the charge-back dispute they initiated with their financial institution.EDUCATION:The complainant may wish to review the following information:GoDaddy Refund Policyhttps://support.godaddy.com/help/article/8849/refund-policyCanceling Protected Registrationhttps://support.godaddy.com/help/article/1292/canceling-protected-re...⇄ you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the complainant.Kindest regards,[redacted]Office of the CEOGoDaddy.com
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer’s additional concerns.GoDaddy stands by its previous response. Ultimately, account management is a customer responsibility. While our customer did disable automatic renewal of the domain in question by clicking “Cancel Renewal”, they did not do so until after the domain had already automatically renewed on September 3, 2017. Our customer did not contact GoDaddy to request a refund until September 11, 2017, which is outside of the refund eligibility period. Most domains automatically renewed for multiple years must be canceled within 5 days of renewal to be refund eligible. GoDaddy, which acts as a broker of sorts when registering or renewing domain names, has already paid the registry for renewal of the domain in good faith, and has a limited time as well to attempt to recover those funds. This timeframe is part of the basis of GoDaddy’s Refund Policy, available here: [redacted]Again, our customer can attempt to recover their domain at no charge if they do so in a timely manner. They can do so using the steps at the following URL: [redacted]. Our 24/7 Customer Care team can also assist our customer with this process at [redacted].Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.Kindest regards,Mike L[redacted]Office of the CEO – GoDaddy
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at https://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspx.On May 4, 2015 our customer began purchasing GoDaddy’s Email Essential plans through...
online transactions. These plans were purchased on both an annual and month to month basis. Our customer has continued to make these purchases. On December 19, 2016 our customer contacted GoDaddy’s customer care center and requested a review of their account. During this review our customer was advised that some of their email plans were not active. Our customer has now requested a refund of the unused plans.Resolution:GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.GoDaddy provides its customers with full control over renewal preferences, and customers may, at any time, log into their account and modify those preferences. We encourage our customer to take an active role in managing their account settings which may help avoid further undesired product renewals.Per GoDaddy's Refund Policy, the transactions in question are beyond refund eligibility.

I have received absolutely NO resolution to this issue and the Supervisors at GoDaddy cannot keep their stories straight. I was told by Supervisor Marcus that an incorrect seller had tried to sell the domain and to contact the correct seller, [redacted]. When I contacted [redacted], I spoke with Patrick who said that they WERE the responsible for the listing but that GoDaddy had listed it for an incorrect price. They said that they use GoDaddy to list their sites all the time but that GoDaddy was the responsible party because they never contacted [redacted] to tell them the site had been sold or that the selling price was for $500.00 This is in complete contrast to what I was told by Representative Michael, who put me on hold for over 10minutes to "call" [redacted] and see why they'd refused the transaction. After receiving NO truthful answer and getting the run around from both companies, I contacted GoDaddy again and spoke with Supervisor Sergio who stated that the circumstances were very suspect and that if the site became available again via online auctions to let him know. As of 08/22/2016, the site (www.kikadesign.com) has been listed again on GoDaddy, with a price increase from $500.00 (which I purchased it for) to $2,795.00. I believe this is a prime example of two corporations, who do lots of business together, covering a mistake that they should take full responsibility for. I would like TRUTHFUL answers and the site I purchased!
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We have reviewed our customer's correspondence and the GoDaddy account in question to which we would like to present the following.
Prior to the purchase of products and services our customer...
acknowledged the following agreements:
• Universal Terms of Service Agreement
• Hosting Agreement
The latest version of this agreement and other legal agreements may be found at: http://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspx
The hosting service our customer is utilizing allows for unlimited storage space, however, as outlined in the terms they agreed to, there is a limit on the total number of files allowed. This limit is imposed to minimize the risk to the stability, performance, and uptime of the server.
Our customer exceeded their file limit due to undeliverable email that was being sent from their website. Email that cannot be delivered typically produces a bounceback email. In our customer’s case, these emails were stored in a folder on the server and accounted for a large percentage of their file usage.
Resolution:
GoDaddy values our customer’s business and acted in good faith to uphold its agreements with them.
To assist them in remedying this issue, our support staff has removed a significant number of these email files. By doing so, our customer should now be able to access the server to remove the remaining files. Should they need help in locating these files, our 24/7 support staff can assist them.
Additionally, our support staff has modified the server settings in an attempt to minimize a possible recurrence of this issue.
Should our customer still wish to cancel their hosting service, they are eligible to receive an InStore credit upon cancellation for any remaining time on their plan. Per GoDaddy’s Refund Policy, they are not eligible for a refund due to the time that has elapsed since the date of purchase.
We do want to thank our customer for their candid feedback regarding our support options. While web support is still available in the form of support articles, email support was discontinued due in part to feedback from our customers. The support options available at https://support.godaddy.com provide significantly faster response times to our customer’s needs.
Education:
The customer might find the following articles useful.

Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by our customer. We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.Our customer acknowledged and agreed to the following agreements upon conducting business with...
GoDaddy:• Universal Terms of Service Agreement• Website Builder Service Agreement • Hosting AgreementThe latest version of these agreements can be found at: [redacted]On July 6, 2009 our customer purchased a Website Builder plan (formerly called Website Tonight) for a term of 16 months to create a website for the domain name they had specified. This is for the period ending November 6, 2010.Since November 6, 2010 our customer's account preferences instructed GoDaddy to automatically renew the service in question in one-month increments (terms) and GoDaddy has done so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer. On October 6, 2014 our customer’s Website Builder plan expired. Per our customer's account preferences, GoDaddy was instructed to automatically renew Website Builder plan in question for another one-month term and attempted to do so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer; however, their financial institution declined payment. GoDaddy made additional attempts to renew the service on:• October 16, 2014 • October 26, 2014 Following each failed product renewal attempt, GoDaddy sent notices to our customer detailing the failed transaction attempts. Furthermore, GoDaddy made attempts to connect with our customer via the phone information they had provided and was unsuccessful. GoDaddy did attempt to proactively notify our customer of their Website Builder renewal and did provide ten days of service to our customer at no cost following expiration before the site was suspended. GoDaddy provided an additional ten days of service in a suspended status prior to the service cancellation due to nonpayment. In total GoDaddy provided 20 days of service without payment prior to cancellation. Ultimately, our customer did not take action and their service was canceled on October 26, 2014 due to non-payment. Account management is a customer responsibility.On December 3, 2014 our customer contacted our 24/7 customer support teams for assistance with an Economy cPanel hosting plan. Our customer had indicated they wanted to host multiple websites utilizing the same hosting plan. The Economy cPanel hosting plan our customer was using did not support multiple websites. Our customer was provided assistance with upgrading to a Deluxe cPanel hosting plan which does support the ability to host multiple websites. RESOLUTION:GoDaddy has upheld its agreements in good faith with our customer and honored its terms of service. The upgrade of their cPanel hosting plan had no effect on the [redacted] website our customer had specified in their complaint. cPanel hosting and Website Builder are entirely different hosting platforms.GoDaddy maintains hosting backups for 30 days after the cancellation of a hosting or Website Builder plan. As our customer’s Website Builder plan was canceled on October 26, 2014, GoDaddy will be unable to restore our customer’s website content.Education:It is both a customer responsibility per our agreements and best practice to keep local backups of their site content. Our customer may want to visit archival sites, such as [redacted] to determine if any content may be recovered. There may also consider searching their local hard drive for any saved content. The following GoDaddy Support article will be helpful in the future to our customer for managing their products and services:Managing Renewals for Products and Services[redacted]Thank you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the customer.Best Regards,[redacted]Office of the CEO[redacted]GoDaddy.com[redacted]###-###-#### Phone###-###-#### Fax
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer’s additional concerns.Our customer’s original purchase of the Office 365 plan was via an online transaction, without assistance from GoDaddy. At the time of checkout, it is explicitly shown that the products purchased are set to automatic renewal by default. GoDaddy provides its customers with full control over renewal preferences, and customers may, at any time, log into their account and modify those preferences. GoDaddy also sent our customer email notifications of the pending renewal prior to taking renewal action as directed by our customer. We encourage our customer to review and manage their account settings to prevent further unwanted renewals. While GoDaddy sent expiration notices to our customer via email before the service's expiration date, GoDaddy simply has no control over what happens to the email notice after it leaves our system or how our customer's ISP or email client chooses to handle the email once they receive it. If our customer changes their email address, we simply have no way of knowing what their new one is unless they inform us by updating their account. Account management and renewal of products is a customer responsibility and our customer agreed to this upon doing business with GoDaddy. While we make a best effort to partner in our customers' successes, our customers must also be responsible for their actions or lack thereof.Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.Kindest regards,Mike L[redacted]Office of the CEO – GoDaddy

Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the additional concerns presented by our customer. We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.We stand by our previous response.

GoDaddy:• Universal Terms of Service Agreement• Hosting AgreementThe latest version of these agreements can be found at: https://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspxGoDaddy’s Shared, Dedicated, and Virtual Private Servers are not sold or advertised as being PCI compliant. Our customers have the ability to administer changes to their Dedicated Servers or Virtual Private Servers to bring these products into PCI compliance. Furthermore, SiteLock is a tool for scanning a website for potential security-related issues, such as malicious content, and not intended for PCI compliance.On September 21, 2015; our customer purchased a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with managed services via an online transaction for a one-month term. This is for the period ending October 21, 2015. On October 21, 2015; per our customer’s account preferences, GoDaddy was instructed to automatically renew the service for an additional one-month term and did so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer.With Self-Managed and Managed Servers, GoDaddy ensures the servers are online and accessible, however, customers are their own server administrator. Customers are responsible for performing any configurations, software installations, disk space allocations (e.g. to email accounts, databases, websites, etc.), upgrades necessary on their server, and troubleshooting any issues therein. GoDaddy’s hosting support teams has previously provided multiple suggestions to our customer regarding PCI compliance on their VPS, including steps that would not require utilization of a 3rd party firewall.RESOLUTION:GoDaddy has upheld its agreements in good faith with our customer and honored its terms of service. The services our customer purchased are functioning as intended. GoDaddy has attempted to work with our customer to the best of our ability and satisfy their needs. If PCI compliance is required, our customer may submit a PCI compliance scan containing any failures received to our server support teams for review. As a resolution may require security updates to the server, GoDaddy can only make suggestions; our customer will ultimately be responsible for administering any changes to their VPS.Our customer has since disabled the renewal preference on the service in question. If the VPS our customer had purchased will not satisfy their needs and they cancel the service by November 4, 2015, our office will be happy to submit a refund for the latest monthly renewal transaction.

Hello- This complaint has not been resolved. I purchased the domain [redacted] form GoDaddy and paid $400. In addition, I bought a number of similar domains to protect others from encroaching on searches for [redacted]One month after my purchase, GoDaddy removed the [redacted] domain from my account, The price of the domain is now $2426 - over 6x what I paid for it. This is unacceptable. Can you please assist?Kind regards,[redacted]
Thank you for the response. However the product renewal setting was not set to automatically renew on this account. Why would some of the products renew before others if the original start dates are the same? No email was sent to notify that the ssl certificate would renew. As far as the refund of course it is past the policy allowed time now but it wasn't when godaddy was notified of the intent to settle the issue. Access denied through shady customer service tactics and rudely so at that. Terrible way to run business and even with millions of customers, near a thousand complaints is to many. Thanks again for the reply.
Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the complainant. We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.The complainant acknowledged and agreed to the following agreements upon conducting...
business with GoDaddy:• GoDaddy Universal Terms of Service Agreement• GoDaddy Domain Name Registration Agreement• GoDaddy Domain Name Proxy AgreementThe latest version of these agreements can be found at: https://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspxOn January 31, 2010 during an online transaction the complainant purchased the Domain Name in question with GoDaddy’s Protected Registration Service for a five year term. One of the features of our Protected Registration service is to protect against the cancellation/expiration of the domain name. Domain names which have this service cannot be canceled until the Protected Registration is canceled. This is done by way of submitting a valid government issued ID, Business ID if applicable, and a signed form to our Domain Services Department.On February 12, 2015 the complainant’s Domain Name with Protected Registration was automatically renewed per the complainants account preferences for a five year term.GoDaddy sent notices prior to the expiration dates of this service on:• November 2, 2014• December 2, 2014• January 1, 2015• January 16, 2015• January 21, 2015On March 18, 2015 the complainant contacted GoDaddy’s Customer Care Center to request assistance in cancelling the Domain Name with Protected Registration proper instructions were provided at that time.On April 3, 2015 GoDaddy was notified by the complainant’s financial institution that the account holder for the payment method used has disputed the transactions through their issuing bank. Per our terms of service, the domain name with associated services were suspended from the GoDaddy account. RESOLUTION: GoDaddy has upheld its agreements in good faith with the complainant and honored its terms of service. Specifically, GoDaddy renewed the complainant's services upon expiration per the account renewal preferences. Furthermore, the services the complainant purchased functioned as specified. Account management is a customer responsibility.There are currently no active products within the complainant's GoDaddy account and no actions can be taken regarding the account pending resolution of the charge-back dispute they initiated with their financial institution.EDUCATION:The complainant may wish to review the following information:GoDaddy Refund Policyhttps://support.godaddy.com/help/article/8849/refund-policyCanceling Protected Registrationhttps://support.godaddy.com/help/article/1292/canceling-protected-re...⇄ you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the complainant.Kindest regards,[redacted]Office of the CEOGoDaddy.com
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer’s additional concerns.GoDaddy stands by its previous response. Ultimately, account management is a customer responsibility. While our customer did disable automatic renewal of the domain in question by clicking “Cancel Renewal”, they did not do so until after the domain had already automatically renewed on September 3, 2017. Our customer did not contact GoDaddy to request a refund until September 11, 2017, which is outside of the refund eligibility period. Most domains automatically renewed for multiple years must be canceled within 5 days of renewal to be refund eligible. GoDaddy, which acts as a broker of sorts when registering or renewing domain names, has already paid the registry for renewal of the domain in good faith, and has a limited time as well to attempt to recover those funds. This timeframe is part of the basis of GoDaddy’s Refund Policy, available here: [redacted]Again, our customer can attempt to recover their domain at no charge if they do so in a timely manner. They can do so using the steps at the following URL: [redacted]. Our 24/7 Customer Care team can also assist our customer with this process at [redacted].Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.Kindest regards,Mike L[redacted]Office of the CEO – GoDaddy
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at https://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspx.On May 4, 2015 our customer began purchasing GoDaddy’s Email Essential plans through...
online transactions. These plans were purchased on both an annual and month to month basis. Our customer has continued to make these purchases. On December 19, 2016 our customer contacted GoDaddy’s customer care center and requested a review of their account. During this review our customer was advised that some of their email plans were not active. Our customer has now requested a refund of the unused plans.Resolution:GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.GoDaddy provides its customers with full control over renewal preferences, and customers may, at any time, log into their account and modify those preferences. We encourage our customer to take an active role in managing their account settings which may help avoid further undesired product renewals.Per GoDaddy's Refund Policy, the transactions in question are beyond refund eligibility.

I have received absolutely NO resolution to this issue and the Supervisors at GoDaddy cannot keep their stories straight. I was told by Supervisor Marcus that an incorrect seller had tried to sell the domain and to contact the correct seller, [redacted]. When I contacted [redacted], I spoke with Patrick who said that they WERE the responsible for the listing but that GoDaddy had listed it for an incorrect price. They said that they use GoDaddy to list their sites all the time but that GoDaddy was the responsible party because they never contacted [redacted] to tell them the site had been sold or that the selling price was for $500.00 This is in complete contrast to what I was told by Representative Michael, who put me on hold for over 10minutes to "call" [redacted] and see why they'd refused the transaction. After receiving NO truthful answer and getting the run around from both companies, I contacted GoDaddy again and spoke with Supervisor Sergio who stated that the circumstances were very suspect and that if the site became available again via online auctions to let him know. As of 08/22/2016, the site (www.kikadesign.com) has been listed again on GoDaddy, with a price increase from $500.00 (which I purchased it for) to $2,795.00. I believe this is a prime example of two corporations, who do lots of business together, covering a mistake that they should take full responsibility for. I would like TRUTHFUL answers and the site I purchased!
Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We have reviewed our customer's correspondence and the GoDaddy account in question to which we would like to present the following.
Prior to the purchase of products and services our customer...
acknowledged the following agreements:
• Universal Terms of Service Agreement
• Hosting Agreement
The latest version of this agreement and other legal agreements may be found at: http://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspx
The hosting service our customer is utilizing allows for unlimited storage space, however, as outlined in the terms they agreed to, there is a limit on the total number of files allowed. This limit is imposed to minimize the risk to the stability, performance, and uptime of the server.
Our customer exceeded their file limit due to undeliverable email that was being sent from their website. Email that cannot be delivered typically produces a bounceback email. In our customer’s case, these emails were stored in a folder on the server and accounted for a large percentage of their file usage.
Resolution:
GoDaddy values our customer’s business and acted in good faith to uphold its agreements with them.
To assist them in remedying this issue, our support staff has removed a significant number of these email files. By doing so, our customer should now be able to access the server to remove the remaining files. Should they need help in locating these files, our 24/7 support staff can assist them.
Additionally, our support staff has modified the server settings in an attempt to minimize a possible recurrence of this issue.
Should our customer still wish to cancel their hosting service, they are eligible to receive an InStore credit upon cancellation for any remaining time on their plan. Per GoDaddy’s Refund Policy, they are not eligible for a refund due to the time that has elapsed since the date of purchase.
We do want to thank our customer for their candid feedback regarding our support options. While web support is still available in the form of support articles, email support was discontinued due in part to feedback from our customers. The support options available at https://support.godaddy.com provide significantly faster response times to our customer’s needs.
Education:
The customer might find the following articles useful.

Dear Dispute Resolution Consultant,Thank you for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by our customer. We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.Our customer acknowledged and agreed to the following agreements upon conducting business with...
GoDaddy:• Universal Terms of Service Agreement• Website Builder Service Agreement • Hosting AgreementThe latest version of these agreements can be found at: [redacted]On July 6, 2009 our customer purchased a Website Builder plan (formerly called Website Tonight) for a term of 16 months to create a website for the domain name they had specified. This is for the period ending November 6, 2010.Since November 6, 2010 our customer's account preferences instructed GoDaddy to automatically renew the service in question in one-month increments (terms) and GoDaddy has done so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer. On October 6, 2014 our customer’s Website Builder plan expired. Per our customer's account preferences, GoDaddy was instructed to automatically renew Website Builder plan in question for another one-month term and attempted to do so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer; however, their financial institution declined payment. GoDaddy made additional attempts to renew the service on:• October 16, 2014 • October 26, 2014 Following each failed product renewal attempt, GoDaddy sent notices to our customer detailing the failed transaction attempts. Furthermore, GoDaddy made attempts to connect with our customer via the phone information they had provided and was unsuccessful. GoDaddy did attempt to proactively notify our customer of their Website Builder renewal and did provide ten days of service to our customer at no cost following expiration before the site was suspended. GoDaddy provided an additional ten days of service in a suspended status prior to the service cancellation due to nonpayment. In total GoDaddy provided 20 days of service without payment prior to cancellation. Ultimately, our customer did not take action and their service was canceled on October 26, 2014 due to non-payment. Account management is a customer responsibility.On December 3, 2014 our customer contacted our 24/7 customer support teams for assistance with an Economy cPanel hosting plan. Our customer had indicated they wanted to host multiple websites utilizing the same hosting plan. The Economy cPanel hosting plan our customer was using did not support multiple websites. Our customer was provided assistance with upgrading to a Deluxe cPanel hosting plan which does support the ability to host multiple websites. RESOLUTION:GoDaddy has upheld its agreements in good faith with our customer and honored its terms of service. The upgrade of their cPanel hosting plan had no effect on the [redacted] website our customer had specified in their complaint. cPanel hosting and Website Builder are entirely different hosting platforms.GoDaddy maintains hosting backups for 30 days after the cancellation of a hosting or Website Builder plan. As our customer’s Website Builder plan was canceled on October 26, 2014, GoDaddy will be unable to restore our customer’s website content.Education:It is both a customer responsibility per our agreements and best practice to keep local backups of their site content. Our customer may want to visit archival sites, such as [redacted] to determine if any content may be recovered. There may also consider searching their local hard drive for any saved content. The following GoDaddy Support article will be helpful in the future to our customer for managing their products and services:Managing Renewals for Products and Services[redacted]Thank you again for the opportunity to address and bring clarity to the concerns presented by the customer.Best Regards,[redacted]Office of the CEO[redacted]GoDaddy.com[redacted]###-###-#### Phone###-###-#### Fax
Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer’s additional concerns.Our customer’s original purchase of the Office 365 plan was via an online transaction, without assistance from GoDaddy. At the time of checkout, it is explicitly shown that the products purchased are set to automatic renewal by default. GoDaddy provides its customers with full control over renewal preferences, and customers may, at any time, log into their account and modify those preferences. GoDaddy also sent our customer email notifications of the pending renewal prior to taking renewal action as directed by our customer. We encourage our customer to review and manage their account settings to prevent further unwanted renewals. While GoDaddy sent expiration notices to our customer via email before the service's expiration date, GoDaddy simply has no control over what happens to the email notice after it leaves our system or how our customer's ISP or email client chooses to handle the email once they receive it. If our customer changes their email address, we simply have no way of knowing what their new one is unless they inform us by updating their account. Account management and renewal of products is a customer responsibility and our customer agreed to this upon doing business with GoDaddy. While we make a best effort to partner in our customers' successes, our customers must also be responsible for their actions or lack thereof.Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.Kindest regards,Mike L[redacted]Office of the CEO – GoDaddy

We have reviewed this matter and would like to present the following.We stand by our previous response.

GoDaddy:• Universal Terms of Service Agreement• Hosting AgreementThe latest version of these agreements can be found at: https://www.godaddy.com/legal-agreements.aspxGoDaddy’s Shared, Dedicated, and Virtual Private Servers are not sold or advertised as being PCI compliant. Our customers have the ability to administer changes to their Dedicated Servers or Virtual Private Servers to bring these products into PCI compliance. Furthermore, SiteLock is a tool for scanning a website for potential security-related issues, such as malicious content, and not intended for PCI compliance.On September 21, 2015; our customer purchased a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with managed services via an online transaction for a one-month term. This is for the period ending October 21, 2015. On October 21, 2015; per our customer’s account preferences, GoDaddy was instructed to automatically renew the service for an additional one-month term and did so in a good faith effort to honor its agreements with the customer.With Self-Managed and Managed Servers, GoDaddy ensures the servers are online and accessible, however, customers are their own server administrator. Customers are responsible for performing any configurations, software installations, disk space allocations (e.g. to email accounts, databases, websites, etc.), upgrades necessary on their server, and troubleshooting any issues therein. GoDaddy’s hosting support teams has previously provided multiple suggestions to our customer regarding PCI compliance on their VPS, including steps that would not require utilization of a 3rd party firewall.RESOLUTION:GoDaddy has upheld its agreements in good faith with our customer and honored its terms of service. The services our customer purchased are functioning as intended. GoDaddy has attempted to work with our customer to the best of our ability and satisfy their needs. If PCI compliance is required, our customer may submit a PCI compliance scan containing any failures received to our server support teams for review. As a resolution may require security updates to the server, GoDaddy can only make suggestions; our customer will ultimately be responsible for administering any changes to their VPS.Our customer has since disabled the renewal preference on the service in question. If the VPS our customer had purchased will not satisfy their needs and they cancel the service by November 4, 2015, our office will be happy to submit a refund for the latest monthly renewal transaction.
