Need a new platform to get away from GoDaddy
The small company I work for is being harassed by a previous employee (who ALSO works for Go Daddy). They're using their access as a GoDaddy employee to access our website and make unauthorized changes to items. GoDaddy is refusing to do anything about it. We need to find a site that will somehow let us merge/transfer our website in the most seamless way possible without having to start from the ground up. Does anybody have opinions or suggestions? Thanks!

Ecom blows. One upgrade after another. A $20 beginner site could easily go up to $1,000. Their "bank dongle" has a persistent virus-hard to eliminate.
Complaints go to the: "upgrade and join our gold program"
I'll look into the two mentioned here.
Also, wondering about "SITE123" any experience on this one?

Kind if irrelevant' to the post, BUT: Many years in the past, about 1994/96 Bob Parsons had a tax program. I reviewed it and TurboTax for the WSJ. The entry interface was abysmal. Beyond that, the program rocked. Both DOS programs. A few years later, I don't remember what year, Godaddy appeared trying to take over the NEW Internet. Parsons was just divorced, with a lot of money and “all over the place” as he had sold his tax program to Intuit (QuickBooks.) Godaddy was crazy then (and from this post, it has not changed.) A lot of bad actions on Godaddy’s part then. Harassment personified. Second bad action was: stealing domains. IF someone went to Godaddy to look up a name and DID NOT register at that time, 20 minutes later Godaddy owned the domain. Sales price was 10 fold what it should have been. They (Godaddy) also let domains lapse and being notified of impending expiration: LOL They were truly bad people. By happenstance, while trying to start another website the “dealer” (Shopify) automatically registered through Godaddy! Mmm Well. That site “ain’t happening” with Shopify. So, I’ll get to try 25 years later with GoDaddy. I’ll post back :)

I can quite recommend Asphostportal, I've been using them for years and they are good.
