Godaddy over-limit fees?


Question

I went over my 150GB hard drive limit (173GB) and am wondering how much they charge for overage fee. I'm read some real horror stories about bandwidth overage but not HDD space. I'm going to email then here soon (5 hour wait according to site :rolleyes: ) but I'm curious if anyone here had experience in this and would know. Thanks.

Thank you for contacting Online Support.

The Disc Space shown in the Account Details will always show the highest amount for that billing cycle. By going over this amount, you will be assessed a charge for this billing cycle, which is unavoidable at this point. This figure will be reset once the next billing cycle starts (which is November 1st, 2008 according to your Account Details box information).

Please let us know if we can help any other way.

Here's the email I got, they won't even tell me how much it is. I was reading this blog and my heart just sunk. This blog was only made a month ago so I think I'm SOL. I just... don't feel well at all right now.

Wow... that is unbelievable how godaddy can screw people over like this. I remember they were the best place to get cheap domains, but these excessive fees are not worth the dollar you save for a domain. I would refuse to pay them, and cancel your service.

Wow, that's one heck of a story. I will certainly stay as far away from GoDaddy for as long as I draw breath, even for domain services.

That's why you don't use a cheap domain service for hosting. How do you think they make their money back ;)

Sorry to hear about it though mate, I feel ya, had a similar thing happen to me - got out of it luckily! :(

A few years ago, someone got 25MB of space, and 2GB of bandwidth, for $9.99 a month, and I told him he got taken for a ride, when most companies offered 2-4GB of space, and 25GB of bandwidth.

I will never use godaddy for anything again.

Well I'll get my bill here on the 1st of the month and find out how much it is. I've already closed my hosting account with them (regardless that this happened I still wanted a better host) and removed my credit card from my auto-pay account. I'm sure they still have it on some kind of record and can still charge me tho...

According to that blog post above Godaddy said they would not pursue the matter if he left, he would just lose the money for hosting he prepaid for. If it's too much and they can't grab it from my credit card I might just dip out on them :p

$0 :p

I did what the guy in the blog above mentioned, I canceled my hosting before the monthly bill and so they've taken nothing. I did find out how much it would've cost tho, they changed their rates drastically (the blog might have had something to do with it as the author mentioned)... it came around to like $5 total. I basically canceled my account out of fear of nothing, but in the end I'm still glad I left them.

Good to hear

Yeah they seem to have changed their services after reading that blog but who knows you'll probably find a much better host and before that blog post your bill could of been much higher :D

congrats on dodging what could of been a disaster :D

also thanks for the update ^_^

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
