Godaddy is one of the shittiest hosts I've dealt with.
There's hosts that charge 1/4th as much and give tons more features and have way faster hosting. And you don't have to deal with streetshitting faggots on tech support.
I know someone who used them to register a hostname for a custom obituary. They told me how they only planned to host the page for a year in memory, but then godaddy continually harassed them trying to upsell services for their "business", autorenewed the domain multiple times despite clearly having it configured not to and calling to cancel after each time. They did it so much they had to just cancel the order credit card. Really pissed them off given the context of the domain. They're stories scared me away from ever using them.
I've had good luck with 1and1, although the buyout from Ionos still has me a little nervous because buyouts usually mean worse service.
I don't trust you for a second. 1and1 was the biggest fucking turd hosting. I literally fucking hate them. I use their support number for testing various shit with my phone. FUCK 1AND1 AND FUCK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING THAT SHITASS COMPANY.
Godaddy is shit but 1and1 is putrid rotten vegan diarrhea shit. These motherfuckers couldn't handle a single fucking wordpress instance. SLOW AS FUCK, DUMB AS FUCK SUPPORT. FUCK 1AND1.
1AND1 is the second worst company I have ever used. I've probably dealt with 50 hosting companies in my time. The #1 worst company I've ever used is Arvixe. I'm not even going to start listing how shit Arvixe is. 1and1 is gods compared to these fucking retards. They still don't have free ssl certificates on their outdated cpanel.
I'd recommend what I use, but its a little noname company and I don't want to narrow things down. I'll just say they have a cool caching backend and a cool CDN tie-in. I have over a dozen sites running on a shared plan that costs a little over $100 for 3 years and they are fast as fuck boiiiiii. And the support is top notch! If you're interested, I can send you a link via pm.
