If Godaddy Hosting is bad then why do so many people use it?

@diamondhead That cannot be the only incentive? If the services are so bad as the reviews & other talks suggests.

No, obviously this isn't the only incentive. But it do covers pretty much 90%.

And also the reviews that you talked about are only 2 out 10 people. They cater so many people it is near impossible to get all of them come and write a review.

Majority of the sites run on wordpress, which means plain LAMP stack. And as said earlier if you are not going to do something crazy with your site (install other apps and what not's). Godaddy does a good job giving seamless service.
