I guess I am one of the first to try the godaddy managed hosting. I must say, that we just finished developing a full e-commerce platform with SSL and other than the cost of SSL 100% of all other managed wordpress hosting companies make you pay at least $10 more a month for SSL. I am truly impressed so far with the speed and reliability of the GoDaddy managed wordpress hosting offering. It's too bad they don't allow a staging environment but how could I complain with the price. A coupon code later and i'm paying a whopping $1 a month for a managed wordpress hosting plan for the next 12 months! In all seriousness the backups work perfect and the speed of the site is tremendous for the cost. Next up is to purchase a dedicated ip for $6 a month and I am actually a believer. I never thought the day would come but it's true...thank goodness for the clients low budget or else I would have never given it a chance.
