  1. Identifying root cause of website performance issues - We will ensure that email, web serving, FTP, and your control panel are all functioning and accessible. The customer is fully responsible for the installation and correct operation of any and all scripts and applications. We do not troubleshoot or provide any support relating to malfunctioning scripts or applications.
    Data Backup The customer is responsible for executing and maintaining current data backups. We maintain our own data backups for any given server only in the event of disaster. We typically have up to 30 days data retention available except on our cPanel hosting, which has one snapshot available within the past four days; however, we do not guarantee the availability or restoration of any lost data. Restoration of data can be requested from our Expert Services3.
  2. We do not provide training or education on the operation of any aspect of Internet technology. It is expected that you will have a basic understanding of Internet concepts, such as DNS, email, web, web browsers, FTP, and general computer literacy.
  3. Expert Services are fee-based best effort services available only from our US-based support teams and are not included with GoDaddy's free support. To purchase these services, call (+1) (480) 463-8824. You can find more information about Expert Services in our Hosting Services Menu.
