I keep getting the run around from godaddy regarding HIPAA compliance.

Does anyone have a researched answer on this matter? We have dedicated 5505 and dedicated server with them and I wanted to know if it is possible to make this setup HIPAA/HITECH compliant.

I'm a bit hesitant because when I asked them what the Business Associate agreement with them, they responded, "what is that?"

  • Only GoDaddy can answer this, but having worked with HIPAA compliance in the past, I'd guess that they're very unlikely to be compliant unless it's a specific, special service. May 7, 2012 at 22:03

    This response should be more than enough to convince you they are not what you are looking for.

    Amazon's AWS has HIPAA compliant clients. Take a look there.

    lol - too localized? i think this would have helped a lot of people. especially the people that are setting up PHI in hosted environments. very especially the ones who did it for the organization i am trying to remediate.

    I found this question to be very helpful for research I am doing. Please rethink your reasons for closing it! Mar 17, 2015 at 12:20

Go Daddy Managed servers cannot be made HIPAA complaint. HIPAA requires a DC inspection which will not be possible with our data centers.

    This would seem to be a definitive answer.
