I've looked at their email boxes. Not a bad price. They are marked pop
so I suspect doing IMAP is out. I hosted with gd for years. No
problems. It was using POP though. I was using their cheapest Linux
hosting. When I made my exit I had to upgrade to IMAP so I could take
my emails with me. And maybe I just do not understand how to get emails
from one server to the next.
I do not have anything against pop.....
I do see they are competing with Digital Ocean with their "cloud
servers".
GoDaddy did merge with another company and they are changing. I guess
Bob Parsons has retired. Do not hear anything about him any longer.
Love or hate Bob you have to admit he has a knack for being
successful....
Maybe Godaddy is the new and improved GoDaddy and is much more kind a
gentle.... who knows.
