Wow! Thanks so much. That saved me a lot of research, especially since I didn’t come across anything with this info as of yet. I will definitely steer clear of the multisite option. Thanks again!

Yeah, Its odd that I just had Godaddy upgrade me to a newer server, and it still looks like it is not up to date. I started with them in 2007, and I was (unknowingly) still on that “ancient” server. When I called them and found this out (after chatting with you) I had them transfer me for free to a newer one with cPanel. I am disappointed that that one may still not be up to date. I haven’t ever had an issue with Goddaddy, even when everyone else did and complained profusely about them. I stuck with them because I kept seeing new improvements over the years. Although, my sites have all been rather small until recently. And the customer service has become very good recently.

My sites, since the transfer have increased in speed too.

I don’t have a problem that you are SiteGround biased. I spent two weeks with my business partner looking for the best option for our new sites that will be coming live soon, and found SiteGround to be a really good option. However, I am not sure the server I am on with SiteGround is actually a WP managed server, even though I asked them… I am not sure what the WP managed server looks like under the hood, but it doesn’t seem to be any different than my Godaddy linux server.

I have considered creating a multisite with my new creations, since they are all going under an umbrella company. Any thoughts on that?

Ok, thanks for your help!! It works on SiteGround, but not on the newer server I transferred to on Godadday. I’ll have to figure out what to do with that…

Am I going to run into other problems for any of my WP blogs with Godaddy’s server if it is not on a PHP 5.0+. I might just transfer everything over to SiteGround, just wanted to keep business separate from personal…Would you recommend ditching Godaddy all together?

Great! Thanks for the reply. So I am currently transferring one on my WP sites from Godaddy to a cPanel SiteGround account, so I think that might take care of it for that WP site. I have my remaining WP sites on Godaddy still, however, I just updated my server to cPanel with them, so that might take care of any plugin/PHP issues on that end as well.

…am I correct in thinking this?
