Pros:

• Great server performance

• Free domain and SSL
• High-quality features

Cons:

• Server performance isn’t great outside the U.S.

GoDaddy is a reliable beginner-friendly web host that offers plenty of helpful services to get you going with your first web host. If you’re an experienced website owner or have been hosting websites for a long time, I wouldn’t recommend GoDaddy, simply because they’re a little too basic.

GoDaddy’s Economy plan starts at £3.99 per month and offers 1-click installations for the likes of Joomla and WordPress. You’ll need to install Joomla yourself, though it’s an easy task so you shouldn’t have to worry.

The Economy plan offers a generous amount of storage, 10 databases, unmetered bandwidth, and a free domain if you sign up for an annual plan. If you find your website is growing quicker than expected, you can add more resources on-demand.

GoDaddy’s support is available in the U.K., so if you get stuck, you won’t have to wait around too long.

Pros:

• Free domain name
• 1-click Joomla installation
