Both provide great support. Godaddy not providing ticket support anymore would put off a few people. Sometimes it’s just easier to submit a ticket and go while you do other things. Instead of having to get on the phone or sit in a live chat and wait. Sometimes people can simply write out their issues clearer than they can speak them. Either way, both provide great support so you can’t go wrong with either one.
