Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - June 26, 2008 - Web hosting domain registrar, GoDaddy, with domain name RulesOfSaving.com, has marked a historic milestone and an industry record, of 30 million domain names.

While reports of a wavering economy and surging oil prices dominate the news, this Internet-first reflects thriving conditions on the Web and at GoDaddy.com. More and more people and businesses are moving to establish their own space on the Internet.

Go Daddy is registering, renewing and transferring names used for Web site addresses to the tune of about one every second of every day. This flies in the face of critics who, years ago, suggested the surge to register domain names was all but over.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder at Go Daddy explained, ”These numbers really demonstrate how the Internet is alive and well, even in these rough financial times. We knew from the start, helping make it easy and affordable for people to get online would make a difference. That’s why we developed products our customers wanted, priced them right and then backed them up with personal customer service… and, well the rest is history.”

Go Daddy is also racking up substantial e-commerce numbers, which align with industry analyst predictions. Forrester Research forecasts online spending in 2008 will increase by 17 percent. Go Daddy expects even higher numbers. The Web leader’s Quick Shopping Cart is a key e-commerce tool because it makes setting up an online store easy and affordable. Projections, based on recent months, indicate a 72 percent increase this year over last, in terms of revenue generated by customers with Quick Shopping Cart enabled Web sites.

Ironically, the 30 millionth domain name, RulesOfSaving.com, could be viewed as a sign of times, as far as the struggling U.S. economy or as a nod to Go Daddy’s low price points. While many registrars charge more than Go Daddy, some have even raised prices in recent days.

Go Daddy has a 45 percent market share of active, new domain names and is nearly three times the size of its closest competitor. Go Daddy is also one of the world’s leading providers when it comes to Web hosting and SSL certificates, which are used to keep online transactions secure.

Go Daddy has expanded its workforce to keep up with its rapid growth, its four offices including one in Arizona, and one each in Colorado, Iowa and Washington, D.C.

While many companies are looking for ways to cut back, Go Daddy is hiring more and more employees. Go Daddy now employs more than two-thousand people, which is up about 33 percent in fewer than three years. Go Daddy is known as an employer that takes care of its own too, having been honored as one of the Best Places to Work for four consecutive years.

Go Daddy is a provider of services designed to enable individuals and businesses to establish, maintain and evolve an online presence. Go Daddy provides a variety of domain name registration plans and web site design and hosting packages, as well as a broad array of on-demand services. These include products such as SSL Certificates, Domains by Proxy private registration, ecommerce web site hosting, blog templates and blog software, podcast packages and online photo hosting. The Go Daddy Group, Inc. has more than 28 million domain names under management. Go Daddy registers, renews or transfers a domain name every second. GoDaddy.com is the world’s No. 1 domain name registrar according to Name Intelligence, Inc. GoDaddy.com is also the largest paid hosting provider in the world, according to Netcraft Ltd. During 2007, The Go Daddy Group registered more than one-third of all domain names registered in the top six generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz and .mobi.

GoDaddy.com has also been honored by various industry organizations and publications as Best Registrar and Best Hosting Company already this year. In 2007, Go Daddy was named Arizona’s Most Innovative Company and Business Leader of the Year.

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - May 28, 2008 - Go Daddy has extended its contract with its star racing car driver representative and IndyCar’s most popular driver, Danica Patrick.

Hours before the legendary Indianapolis 500.race, GoDaddy.com announced that Ms. Patrick will represent the company through 2009 and as part of the deal, Danica’s IndyCar will sport an even bigger GoDaddy.com logo at Indy.

The company renewed its commitment with Andretti Green Racing and the sports celebrity well before the deadline, saying there was never any doubt about what Danica does for GoDaddy.com.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy.com noted, ”No other celebrity brings it all to the table like Danica. She’s a class act. She’s a winner. She’s fast. She’s focused. She’s smart. Danica personifies all the things GoDaddy.com is about.”

GoDaddy.com is known for being the top choice in domain names and is nearly three times the size of its closest competitor. GoDaddy.com also is one of the world’s top companies for web hosting and SSL Certificates, which provide online security. GoDaddy.com has a reputation in advertising too, known for its racy Super Bowl commercials - two of which have featured Danica Patrick.

The Go Daddy spokesperson has been a global media sensation since winning the Indy Japan 300 last month, but Parsons recognized Danica Patrick’s star power even before signing her in 2006. Ms. Patrick explained, ”Bob Parsons and Go Daddy have been there for me for years and I think it’s safe to say we are all very excited to deepen the relationship.”

Ms. Patrick starts this year’s Indy 500 in the fifth position (second row middle) and has been named as one of the drivers in contention for the checkered flag at Sunday’s big race. She made history at Indy back in 2005 when she led the race for 19 laps and was voted the league’s Rookie of the Year that same year.

2008 has also been a big year for Ms. Patrick off the track. She is Nickelodeon’s 2008 Kids’ Choice Award Winner for Favorite Female Athlete and also landed on Maxim magazine’s "Hot 100" list for the second consecutive year. She also posed for the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated and was featured on the magazine’s cover just this month.

Millions are expected to tune in to watch Danica in Sunday’s race. GoDaddy.com is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the Indianapolis 500 broadcast on ABC TV again this year. As part of the deal, GoDaddy.com will have its iconic branding on everything from broadcast segments to aerial and in-car views.

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - April 11, 2008 - Web hosting domain registrar, Go Daddy, has premiered a new Internationalized Domain Name Service, to enable registration in over 100 native languages.

An IDN is a Web address expressed in a native language, and it’s helping to revolutionize the Internet. In the past, it has been difficult to translate western character domain names to other languages because popular scripts, such as Arabic, Chinese or Cyrillic, contain characters that were not previously supported by web browsers.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy.com remarked, ”GoDaddy.com is committed to making it easier for consumers all over the world to navigate domain names. With Internationalized Domain Names, users can find what they need in their own language.”

GoDaddy.com has made Internationalized Domain Names available in more than 100 native languages for .com and .net domain names. Go Daddy also plans to make Internationalized Domain Names available in select languages for .info later this month.

Registering an Internationalized Domain Name with GoDaddy.com gives consumers the chance to build a complete Web presence in most any language. That’s because many of the GoDaddy.com products - including Go Daddy web-based Email and web hosting packages - support non-Western language-based characters.

GoDaddy.com Email offers virus protection, spam filtering, phishing fraud protection and 256-bit encryption at no additional charge. GoDaddy.com is the world’s top paid host provider - all its packages feature unparalleled 24×7 Customer Support, world-class data centers and a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee.

Cambridge, Massachusetts - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - March 5, 2008 - Domain name marketplace, Sedo, has concluded its second GreatDomains auction of the year, with a six-figure bid for Eggs.com valued at $112,500.

In addition, bids that surpassed $25,000 were placed on appartment.com, handhelds.com and bobbleheads.com. The auction began on Thursday, February 21 and ended on Thursday, February 28.

Jeremiah Johnston, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, at Sedo noted, ”Our highly reputable GreatDomains auction has consistently attracted the highest bids from domain name enthusiasts and entrepreneurs around the world. We expect this trend will continue, as the significant growth of the domain name market in 2007 will continue to fuel the uptake in demand for premium domains in 2008.”

Beyond the top four best selling domains, there were other noteworthy premium names that fell within the $20,000 $10,000 bidding range.   These included cellulitis.com, invents.com and gaywedding.com.   Domain names that received bids valued at less than $10,000, but have the potential to be top selling names in future auctions, include coworker.com and romanticmovies.com.

Sedo acquired GreatDomains, the online platform for buying and selling premium domain names, in June 2007. Sedo, (acronym for ”Search Engine for Domain Offers”), is an online marketplace for buying and selling domain names and websites. Sedo began in 2001, as a student project among three friends: Tim Schumacher, Ulrich Priesner, and Marius Wrzner. The trio distributed computer games through the website offensiv.de. After the business was phased out, the students considered selling it, which laid the foundation for Sedo: ‘’search engine for domain offers.” Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., Sedo has assembled what it believes is the world’s largest database of domain names for sale, with more than four million listings. Buyers and sellers are brought together through a searchable online marketplace, and conduct negotiations anonymously using an offer-counteroffer system. To facilitate successful transactions, Sedo has introduced a range of related services, including domain name escrow/transfer services, domain name appraisals, a domain brokerage service and paid domain name parking. Sedo’s model has attracted a global membership base of more than 355,000 domain professionals, and more than 7 million listings. Sedo offers regional versions of its site for the UK (Sedo.co.uk), France (Sedo.fr), Germany (Sedo.de), and Spain (eSedo.com).

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - February 5, 2008 - Web hosting domain registrar, GoDaddy’s 2008 Super Bowl television campaign ad, reportedly was viewed by over one million video views, as tracked to GoDaddy.com on Sunday, before the game’s conclusion.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder at Go Daddy noted, ”I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Danica’s Exposure is probably our funniest ad ever. It is definitely our most effective ad in terms of immediate results.”

According to GoDaddy, it is believed to be one of the largest spikes in Super Bowl advertising history. Super Bowl viewers went online to see Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick’s ”Exposure” ad almost on cue. They were directed to do so by Go Daddy’s televised ad, which aired at the beginning of the second-quarter. The long-awaited ”Exposure” commercial featured animatronics beavers in a spoof of the paparazzi and certain female celebrities.

Go Daddy originally intended ”Exposure” to be its Super Bowl ad, but Fox rejected it, insisting the word ”beaver” be removed. Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons refused, saying instead, he would make lemonade out of lemons.

Go Daddy Productions went to work to create ”Spot On,” which was approved for broadcast. It invited viewers to go to GoDaddy.com to see the rejected commercial and was essentially an ad for an ad, which was a first for Super Bowl commercials. ”Spot On” contained a ”Viewer Discretion” advisory - also thought to be a Super Bowl advertising first.

Comments varied widely, but no one can argue the commercial’s effectiveness for generating online traffic. As the post-game celebrations were being broadcast, GoDaddy.com was already reporting more than 1.5 million visits to its site. Those numbers continue to climb rapidly.

The final ad had finally been approved, after ten submissions, including five concepts, three of which Go Daddy actually produced, and a number of revisions.
Mr. Parsons continued, ”We’re thrilled - think about it, it was one of the greatest Super Bowl games ever played and yet fans still took time to come to our site during the game.”

Traffic stats were expected to surge again on Monday, Feb. 4. In past years, the Monday following the game has yielded traffic spikes as fans talk about the ads, and then go online to see them for the first time, or to enjoy them again with colleagues and friends.

The Go Daddy Group, Inc. is a domain name registrar with more than 22 million domains under management and 24-hour-a-day customer support. More than 4 million customers are serviced by Go Daddy for domain registration, web site hosting, email and related Internet services.

Toronto, Canada - (Website Hosting Directory) - January 28, 2007 - Web hosting solutions provider, Netfirms, is cautioning that the new dot-ca domain names will sell out quickly in 2008. In particular, Canadians have embraced dot-ca domains, with nearly one million domains registered to date.

According to CIRA’s dot-ca domain registration count, the rapid growth of dot-ca domains is no surprise to Netfirms, whose customers have found that dot-ca domains are trusted by Canadians, more available than dot-com and priced competitively.

Alexey Kapralov, Founder of eShopp remarked, ”Having a dot-ca domain name has helped customers trust my online store. I’ve found that Canadians prefer to buy from my store because I’m located in Canada. That’s why having a dot-ca domain name is especially important for Canadian businesses.”

Registering a dot-ca domain name is particularly important for small businesses targeting Canadian consumers. A dot-ca domain name, paired with a Canadian focused website helps establish a trusted brand that attracts Canadian customers.

Although they’re going quickly, there are still more dot-ca domains available than dot-com. The entire dot-ca domain namespace consists of nearly one million registered domains compared to nearly seventy million registered dot-com domains.

Gregg McLachlan, Founder and President of WorkCabin commented, ”Showing our Canadian identity is extremely important - that’s we were glad to find our dot-ca domain name was available. It has definitely helped us successfully grow our services on the web and immediately connect us with Canadians.”

Jason Matheson, Product Manager, Netfirms, Inc. noted, ”Until a few years ago, dot-ca domain names were typically more expensive than dot-com. We started offering CIRA certified dot-ca domains for as low as $9.95 CAD per year – comparable to the industry standard price for a dot-com.”

Netfirms offers small businesses everything they need to establish a Canadian web presence with the lowest priced dot-ca domain names and business web hosting. For $9.95 per year, the dot-ca domain product includes:

• A CIRA certified, dot-ca domain name (example.ca).
• A basic webpage accessible through the domain name that can be edited immediately.
• An email account @ the domain including spam filtering.
• Full DNS management through the user-friendly Netfirms control panel.
• 24/7 access to expert technical support.

Mark Bowden, Founder of Truthplane Communication Training added, ”My dot-ca domain and web hosting through Netfirms has made it easy for me to share my knowledge and expand my Canadian client-base. Netfirms is simply the best choice for feature-rich domains and business web hosting.”

Netfirms, Inc., founded in 1998, provides web hosting solutions and technology to successful small and medium-sized businesses, home office, entrepreneurs and individuals worldwide. Netfirms hosts over 1,000,000 websites, with offices in the U.S. and Canada. Netfirms was selected in 2006 as one of HostReview.com’s Top 10 Fastest Growing Web Hosting Companies.

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - January 25, 2008 - Web hosting domain registrar, GoDaddy’s 2008 Super Bowl television campaign ad, has been approved, after ten submissions, including five concepts, three of which Go Daddy actually produced, and a number of revisions.

The Fox television network has approved ”Spot On” to air during this year’s Super Bowl broadcast. Several character actors are in the commercial, which also includes a key appearance by Indy race car driver and Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick.

Bob Parsons, Founder and CEO of GoDaddy noted, ”I think Exposure is the funniest commercial we’ve ever made. It’s hilarious. We are going to have to make lemonade out of lemons on this one. It’s risky, but we’ve changed our whole marketing plan so we can leverage something out of this smokin’ hot spot.”

According to Go Daddy, CEO and Founder Bob Parsons is disappointed the network won’t approve another commercial featuring Patrick, but neither Fox, nor Mr. Parsons, will compromise. In the ad, titled ”Exposure,” Parsons refused to capitulate to Fox’s request for the word ”beaver” to be removed. The word ”beaver” is used to reference Animatronics beavers filmed in the ad.

Since Go Daddy can’t broadcast ”Exposure,” Mr. Parsons has decided, instead, to use the thirty-second approved Super Bowl commercial slot to tell people how to see the ad intended for the big game on www.godaddy.com.

Go Daddy is no stranger to difficult approval processes and has a notorious history with the Fox television network. The network pulled Go Daddy’s first-ever Super Bowl commercial after approving it in writing. The commercial was a parody on censorship. It aired once during the 2005 broadcast, but Fox yanked it before its second airing, triggering an avalanche of controversy. Ironically, a college marketing textbook featuring the legendary Go Daddy commercial notes how Fox is actually known for its irreverent programming.

Mr. Parsons added, ”Ever since the so-called wardrobe malfunction, Super Bowl ads have lost a certain edge. We want ours to be GoDaddy-esque. That means it’s funny, edgy and just a touch inappropriate… but nothing more outrageous than you might see on any given day at any shopping mall in America.”

Some critics have panned the risqué advertising style, but Go Daddy’s Super Bowl commercials have translated into big market growth each and every year. Following the 2005 Super Bowl commercial, Go Daddy grew its industry market share of new domain names from 16 percent to 25 percent, making it the largest registrar in the world. The following year, new market share surged to 32 percent and last year’s commercial helped boost Go Daddy’s industry edge to its current 42 percent mark.

The often maligned GoDaddy-esque ad from last year’s Super Bowl not only generated big business, it also stuck in viewers’. In fact, IAG Research recently ranked Go Daddy’s 2007 ad as the Most Recalled commercial for the entire year.

This year’s ad, like Go Daddy’s controversial 2005 wardrobe malfunction” spot, spoofs a certain pop culture celebrity phenomenon. ”Exposure” will be available at www.goDaddy.com/superbowl08 when the company’s approved commercial airs game day, February 3.

Danica Patrick remarked, ”The Exposure commercial is hot, it’s funny and I just can’t wait for the whole world to see it.”

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - January 2, 2008 - Web hosting domain registrar, GoDaddy, has reported that its financial success has enabled the company to donate record amounts to charities and to company employees, with its $1.4 million philanthropy.

The Scottsdale-based company helped organizations dedicated to a variety of causes, including domestic violence, child abuse, blind children, unwed mothers, homelessness, as well as Parkinson’s disease, Juvenile Diabetes, food banks and animal shelters.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of Go Daddy noted, ”It’s important to us to make a difference in our community and all over the world.” Mr. Parsons is known for his ’surprise’ contributions, as with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF). At the JDRF Desert Southwest Chapter’s kick-off luncheon in September, Parsons was expected to announce the company’s $100,000 donation, but after listening to stories of families affected by the disease, he surprised everyone by standing up and pledging twice the amount.

Mr. Parsons also doubled his donation to needy children in Tucson, Arizona this month. He did it in style too, while riding his Harley-Davidson as the Grand Marshall for the Sun Riders 26th Annual Motorcycle Toy Parade benefiting Aviva Children’s Services. Go Daddy’s own employees have also benefited from the company’s most successful year ever. More than $1 million was awarded to employees in 2007. Employee prizes included cash, cars, a year’s mortgage paid, a four-year college scholarship and a trip around the world that included 20-paid vacation days and $10,000 spending money.

Mr. Parsons added, ”We learned a long time ago, happy employees are productive employees. We hold fun contests all throughout the whole year.” Go Daddy rented out Chase Field for their holiday party, hired the Gin Blossoms to entertain and gave away gifts to each and every employee. The event was hailed as ”the party to end all parties” at a time when most companies are scaling back. To learn more about Go Daddy visit, www.GoDaddy.com.
