The plan page shows the three-year term only, so that is the only term stored; the one-year and monthly prices sit in the cart. Published measurements by Cybernews (March 2026, two weeks) are stored in thirdParty[]; HostingStep's 365-day record is stored too but measures the managed WordPress product, which the entry says; HostScore is kept as an aggregate; WPBeginner's GoDaddy page carries no test, and no Kripesh Adwani review exists. No HostIdea monitoring window is open, so the scores are provisional: uptime rests on a two-week 100 percent window and a year-long record on a sister product, performance on Cybernews's fast response, support on three channels against a mixed public reputation, features on the domain, daily backups and Node.js against the one-year SSL on Economy and the missing caching and staging, value on renewals of $11.99 to $21.99 behind a three-year term. The weekly price check needs a browser that GoDaddy's edge accepts: a headed browser with the US cookies received the cards, a headless run on 14 October 2026 was refused with an Akamai access-denied page.",
