We bought hosting for Saints Robotics with GoDaddy (it's a "Linux Deluxe" plan). I'm trying to set up a MySQL database for MediaWiki. Our site is hosted on a shared server with lots of other users. All these users share the same Apache, the same MySQL, etc. So when I'm trying to created a new database, I can't name it anything I want—instead, I have to try to find a unique name, since someone else has taken the database name I wanted already. Also, they don't give SSH access because the server is shared. Why don't they just use virtualization? Not having shell access to my server is very annoying. (Although I could just install a PHP terminal...but SSH is so much nicer.)
Also, whenever I make a change to the server configuration, for example adding an FTP user, a MySQL database, or changing the PHP version settings, it can take up to 24 hours to apply! That's ridiculous! I can't wait a day each time I make a change!

ouch..i'm sorry =o
I didn't realize shared hosting had this many issues
Ok...
No GoDaddy for me.
I can totally relate to the frustrations of shared hosting with GoDaddy; slow speeds and downtime can be a real headache. It often distracts from more important tasks, like focusing on your research. If you're overwhelmed, consider seeking a master thesis writing service to lighten your workload while you navigate these hosting challenges.
I totally get your frustration — shared hosting can feel very limiting, especially when you want control over things like database names or server access. Waiting hours for simple changes only adds to the annoyance. It’s similar for students under pressure: when systems or rules feel restrictive, it’s tempting to look for support. Services like All Exam Help can step in to assist with tricky situations, and some even search do my exam for me when they need extra guidance to manage their workload efficiently.
