What is GoDaddy 4GH?

GoDaddy’s 4gh (Fourth Generation Hosting) is just a new term GoDaddy likes to use for their web hosting packages. Essentially, it is nothing but a much needed update for GoDaddy which now gives GoDaddy the ability to manage traffic spikes for their web hosting. Before, if your hosting account was receiving too much traffic and was putting a strain on GoDaddy’s servers, they would shut your hosting account down. This means that your website would just suddenly stop working. Now, thanks to 4GH, it basically allocates more resources to the server to help keep your site live. However, note that GoDaddy continues to only allow a limited amount of viewers, so if your website still receives too much traffic, GoDaddy will block viewers from visiting your site to reduce server strain.
