I have been building sites in RW for a couple of years but have never been in charge of the hosting side of things. Now I am trying to get a new site hosted, and I am completely lost. I have my domain and hosting through GoDaddy at the moment, but it is not working. And no one there can offer me any support or help with getting published on a site build through RW. Does anyone have any experience with using GoDaddy for hosting? Or should I look to another company to help with hosting?
Do yourself a favor and set up hosting with chillidoghosting @barchard is a RW developer and his service is second to none. He will have you going in no time.
I use GoDaddy with Rapidweaver but agree they are not very helpful unless you use their online apps. It’s almost as though they don’t want to support anything else. But I do use RW and the RW publishing.

I’ve moved at least 5 sites from GoDaddy to Chilidog hosting and I’m very happy with the transition process and service. Anytime I ran into an isue I didn’t understand, Greg B. walked me thru effortlessly. A couple more and I’ll be all Chilidog!
I use Chillidog for hosting and it is great! I also use NameSilo for domain names. They are cheap and it works! I have not found a lower cost option/combination of dependable services.
