Please forgive my pricing for being an estimate. Godaddy breaks up web hosting and email and I am not totally positive what my charges are since they are so reasonable. I pay forty-fifty bucks a year for web hosting and then another 30 bucks a year for email. All around this is a pretty good value for hosting and email from a company this size. Godaddy is one of the few companies that let you pay for email without buying hosting space. This is a great option for small businesses that only want email at their domain. For ten bucks a year for the registration plus 30 bucks a year for the email account, a small business can have a pretty robust setup.
Probably one of the worst aspects of Godaddy's services is their limitation of 250 outgoing emails per day/ account. This is a little small for some small businesses with fax servers, etc. It hasn't been a problem for me. With their $30/year email plan, you get unlimited sized email boxes, 10 accounts and IMAP access and this is a fantastic value. IMAP has been slow with occasional hiccups, but it is adequate. Godaddy blocks email from certain Eastern European countries altogether and is fairly strict. I get a lot less SPAM using Godaddy than I did under my previous hosting company. If you do a lot of communication outside of the US and Canada I would suggest you go elsewhere. Finally in the complaint department, I find their web site maddeningly complicated and cluttered. This means making adjustments to your accounts can be difficult. This is balanced by the fact that if you have a question, you can call them and receive help usually in seconds. Godaddy also offers a hosted Exchange product for around 10 bucks a month/ 2GB account. This is pretty expensive but amazingly useful if you need it.
If you want to do business with a large solid company, Godaddy is a pretty decent company to do business with.
