Users can also depend on Podshow’s high-quality delivery and free hosting, as well as advanced production and promotion tools included with their PodShow+ account.

Ron Bloom, Co-founder and CEO of PodShow, Inc. commented, ”Having a separate domain identity within a large and popular social media network is critical — PodShow is pleased to work with GoDaddy.com to offer this key capability to fans and producers alike. This is a great example of an innovative brand providing more than just messages to consumers — GoDaddy.com is extending and integrating their services into the PodShow+ experience, contributing to the easy and natural process in which PodShow+ users discover, share and create content.”

The relationship between PodShow and GoDaddy.com, initiated through a network-wide promotion of GoDaddy.com services, started in January as part of PodShow’s Advertising 2.0 initiative emphasizing one brand with many voices. PodShow is the easiest way to discover, share and create independently produced media; GoDaddy.com is the leading registrar of domain names and related web site services.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of The Go Daddy Group, Inc. added, ”Together with Podshow, we are creating innovative, entertaining advertising opportunities and compelling brand marketing. I’m pleased we’ve taken the relationship a step further. Helping podcasters to register a domain name as part of the PodShow+ service creates a simplified process, helping these independent producers to extend their audience reach with a unique, memorable web site address.” Mr. Parsons hosts his program, Life Online with Bob Parsons.
