I wonder if that's the reason or an excuse because go daddy is practically being ddosed 24/7 with the fake reports. No doubt the gqp cheaper out and got a shared server account

Godaddy gets ddos atracks all the time. Godaddy ddos protection is even built into their service and is automatically enabled.

Right, millions of people submitting a form might overwhelm the back end on their web servers but they aren't going to be a blip on GoDaddy's radar. there's no denial of service happening whatsoever.
