What type of hosting account do I have?

Our hosting products vary by type and plan. Here's how to check what type of hosting plan you have:

  1. Go to your GoDaddy product page.
  2. Your hosting account type is shown under Web Hosting. Or, if you've got a WordPress Hosting account, your account type is shown under Managed WordPress.
