A web hosting review website listed more than 30 unsatisfied customers giving Netfirms a "poor" rating, and saying "goodbye" to Netfirms web hosting services. However, there are still some loyal customers. "Netfirms Web Hosting is a Canadian company, and its servers must be in locations with lower temperature than some of the American web hosting companies, i.e. those located in Arizona". Says a Netfirms customer who does not wish to be named. "For a web hosting company, the cooler the temperature, the better for the web servers." When mentioning about the service disruptions of Netfirms web hosting, the customer responded, "whenever that happens, I will just point my domain nameservers to Godaddy, another web hosting company. Godaddy has been reliable over the years, and their technical support helps are reachable within 2 minutes when you call them." Indeed, Godaddy has been providing reliable and stable web hosting services over the years. It began by offering low priced domain registration services. Then it grew to one of the largest retail web hosting companies in the United States. Godaddy would become one of the alternatives for Netfirms, it seems.
