GoDaddy provides cPanel Linux hosting which is a shared hosting and it’s cheaper then other dedicated hostings.
How I used the cPanel hosting?
I registered for multiple sites cPanel hosting, although it says multiple sites but only provides 25 MariaDb databases (a sister of MySql Database). So, if you have a dynamic application or site which needs database then you can only run 25 applications in this plan but you can run as many static sites as needed but the 512 MB RAM provided in this plan might make all sites go down if a traffic on one of your site in the same hosting plan gets larger traffic.
I tried to use the cPanel hosting for hosting my static site and the email server comes with it as I can create 500 email address for the domain names I have added in my hosting account. I added my primary domain then I kept adding additional domains there in the hosting. I configured one of my product in this hosting plan by registering the domain in this hosting and then configured the email address for that domain to recieve emails. The DNS of that domain is configured automatically to have mail DNS entries and other DNS entries as per cPanel. and after that I started sending emails from my this added domain. Then I moved my application to Azure, and configured my sub-domain of this domain but then I removed this another domain from hosting resulting in all DNS entries were re-written by GoDaddy’s parked domain and removed my DNS entry for Azure hosted site. Even the mail server stopped sending email after the domain was removed from hosting and I needed to host my second application for this domain on Azure but doing so I might have to loose cPanel email capability as domain is unlinked from cPanel hosting account.
