Tell HN: Godaddy Shared Hosting – Bad Experience
1 points by iamkhush 4057 days ago
Just had a very bad experience with Godaddy shared hosting.

They have this Idle worker timeout set to 5 minutes, which basically means , if any user doesn't checkout your website in that time, the worker dies. And after that it takes around 15-20 secs to load it. For startups like us, that dont get much traffic, it gives a very bad experience to viewers. We have got a way around it, but this is a shitty setting, and it should have been provided to us or documented somewhere when we were buying the server.
