A Close Match, but GoDaddy Wins
When you compare GoDaddy and Shinjiru, you’ll find that both offer a wide variety of shared, email, VPS, and dedicated server hosting plans. Shinjiru’s budget Linux hosting plans offer more disk space (100GB-unlimited) than GoDaddy’s similar plans (30GB-unlimited). With Shinjiru, you’ll get a 1-click installer, paid SSL certificates, and free website migration. With GoDaddy, you’ll get a free domain with the annual plan, conditional free SSL certificate (with the highest plan), 1-click installer with 125+ free applications, DDoS protection and 24/7 security monitoring, and automatic backups (paid add-on). Shinjiru’s managed WordPress hosting plans let you host 1-5 websites and offer the Softaculous auto-installer, Patchman malware detection, free SSL certificate, free R1Soft backup, WAF, and a sandbox to test new plugins and themes. You can host 5-50 websites with GoDaddy’s managed WordPress plans.

Performance
Shinjiru Surprises and Wins with Its 99.99% Uptime Guarantee
Since GoDaddy’s data centers are in Europe, the US, and Asia, your global user base will enjoy quick loading times. Shinjiru has 8 data centers across Europe and Southeast Asia and offers better loading times in these regions than most other offshore hosts. But since it has no data center in the US or Oceania, users in these continents may experience higher latencies than their local hosting providers. Shinjiru’s hosting plans come with a 99.99% premium SLA uptime and 99.9% standard SLA uptime. Some of its networks even have SLAs of up to 99.999% uptime. Several Shinjiru hosting reviews indicate this to be rare for an offshore hosting provider. Shinjiru guarantees a 10X service credit for standard SLA. For enhanced performance, Shinjiru uses LiteSpeed technology while GoDaddy uses CDN (with its WordPress plans).
GoDaddy offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee, but it outperformed consistently over the past 12 months as our performance tests found. Check our expert GoDaddy review to get more details.

Security
GoDaddy Wins, Thanks to Its Comprehensive Security
GoDaddy offers comprehensive security with both free and paid tools and features. These include free/managed SSL certificates, Cage FS, daily malware scans, data backups, and paid website security plans. Shinjiru provides a range of paid security features, including SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and anti-hacking measures. Additionally, you have the option to purchase SiteLock plans, which perform thorough scans on your website to identify potential security risks such as malware, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting. GoDaddy clearly outshines Shinjiru in this round.Support
GoDaddy’s Somewhat Unpredictable Support Is Still Better than Shinjiru’s
GoDaddy offers 24/7 customer support via live chat and phone (dedicated lines for dozens of countries), though it could be somewhat unpredictable, as our expert reviewer found. However, it does a good job with its self-help options via its community forums and knowledge base that have useful articles and video tutorials.![GoDaddy Support](https://dt2sdf0db8zob.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/godaddy-support2.png)

Shinjiru Is Good, but GoDaddy Does It Better
With its slightly lower prices along with better features and comprehensive security, GoDaddy wins this match. However, Shinjiru is excellent for an offshore hosting company. Before you decide in favor of either, I’d like to mention that neither of these hosts made it to our top 10 list.
