GoDaddy web hosting (www.godaddy.com) delivers the essentials riding on the success of GoDaddy’s domain name registration service. Along with their snappy name, the company has a host of awards to its credit, placing it securely in the leader’s niche in domain name and domain management. This expertise makes it a no-brainer that GoDaddy should host customer web sites too. Here’s your domain, sir, and here’s the website to back it up.

Like BlueHost, GoDaddy’s CEO posts on his own blog. The infamous Bob Parsons is definitely up to speed in the domain name business, and is a leader in addressing issues and abuses in the industry. Like Bob Parson’s clear and no-nonsense approach to his writing, the GoDaddy shared web hosting offerings are simple and no-nonsense products. Extras can be paid for, like a blog engine and upgrades, and prices are clearly stated. The company offers a “sweet-spot” hosting solution with a best-value bundle, clearly marked if one browses around their site a little.

All the basic features are there–disk space, traffic, email accounts, with more databases under management than other hosted solutions–10 for the entry level product. Interestingly, web site statistics are an extra to be paid for, allowing the basic home user who just wants a site to be able to save a few dollars. A slight negative is their unconventional quoting of disk and traffic data sizes in MB rather than in GB, giving at first glance, an impression of more data than is actually supplied. Apart from this, the quotes and web site are also simple and clear. I enjoyed the access to information and the ease of use attention that has obviously been put in.

GoDaddy is a hosting provider targeting the low-cost portion of the market and their service offering does not disappoint, with a basic starting site cost of $3.99 per month. With 50 GB of disk space this is certainly a generous service offering!

GoDaddy has focused on its customer take on too – with a 24 by 7 account setup service. They also offer 24 by 7 telephonic support. GoDaddy provides a very different service level too: 24 by 7 support for billing queries. This makes their customer service channel one of the more complete support offerings available.

GoDaddy provides all the web hosting features offered by competitors, and they then crown this off by bringing their domain and deep internet technology savvy to the party. For technical peace-of-mind from a strong registrar, GoDaddy is the choice for many.

Scottsdale, Arizona – (The Hosting News) – January 16, 2009 – Having had two commercials that have been approved by network censors in this year’s Super Bowl broadcast, GoDaddy invited the public, to choose which one to broadcast.

This is the first time that Go Daddy has attained two commercial approvals in such a time frame. The question remains, however, which thirty-second commercial will air? Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons invites the public to cast votes online. Both versions are available at the company’s website.

Mr. Parsons explained, ”I’m looking forward to seeing how people vote – I like both ads. I say we give the viewers what they want to see.”

Both approved ads are GoDaddy-esque, meaning the ads are fun, edgy and slightly inappropriate, as is the Go Daddy tradition. Both spots feature IndyCar’s most popular driver and Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick.

The first option features Danica taking a shower with another woman as three college students watch.

Mr. Parsons continued, ”The ‘Shower’ commercial is the one people usually pick sight unseen. It’s hot all right, no doubt about it, but the twist is what really makes this ad great.”

The second option, like Go Daddy’s legendary 2005 Super Bowl ad, spoofs a controversial issue. Baseball takes on the steroids scandal in typical GoDaddy-esque style. Its cast includes recurring character actor Booth Colman, who appeared in the original Go Daddy Super Bowl ad, and CEO Bob Parsons. Both ads were created in-house by Go Daddy Productions.

AdWeek advertising expert Barbara Lippert has a history of panning Go Daddy ads, but was unusually critical after previewing the baseball spoof. Mr. Lippert remarked, ”This is lower than the usual Go Daddy low – it’s pathetic.”

Go Daddy has a history of notoriety, when it comes to Super Bowl campaigns. Go Daddy’s first-ever Super Bowl ad in 2005 parodied the infamous wardrobe malfunction. The FOX network pulled the ad before airing it a second time in that game, generating an avalanche of publicity.

Beyond its risque reputation, the company has generated business along with the buzz. Go Daddy’s 2006 Super Bowl ad generated unprecedented Web traffic. Its 2007 spot was honored by IAG as the Most-Recalled commercial of the entire year. Last year, FOX censors refused to approve Go Daddy’s Exposure ad, so Parsons quickly developed another commercial encouraging viewers to watch the intended Super Bowl ad online. The broadcast commercial produced 1.5MM Go Daddy Web hits before the game ended.

Clearly, the Super Bowl commercials have boosted Go Daddy’s bottom line. Prior to the first Super Bowl ad, Go Daddy’s market share was 16 percent. That number climbed after each Super Bowl campaign. Today, Go Daddy’s market share of new domains is an overwhelming 46 percent, putting Go Daddy at a level more than three times the size of its closest competitor.

To vote on which commercial you want to see in next month’s Super Bowl broadcast, visit www.GoDaddy.com. Voting ends Friday, Jan. 23, 2009.

Scottsdale, Arizona – (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) – December 2, 2008 – Web hosting and domain registrar provider, Go Daddy, has developed a new solution for online merchants, to leverage its Quick Shopping Cart tool, for business growth.

The Quick Shopping Cart was developed to create a fully functional e-commerce Web site for companies doing business exclusively online, or brick and motor stores looking to expand their Internet presence.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of Go Daddy explained, ”The Internet is where the action is these days, and we don’t see that changing. Quick Shopping Cart makes it about as painless as possible for merchants to get online. Once their customers visit the e-commerce site, they discover it’s both reliable and easy to use – which translates into dollars.”

Go Daddy’s Quick Shopping Cart statistics, comparing July, August and September of this year to last, reveal an increase of more than 100 percent, in terms of revenue generated and the number of different vendors selling products. The trend shows no sign of slowing.

More businesses are turning to the Web as a revenue stream, especially as the economy struggles. According to IDC, nearly half of all Internet users will make online purchases in 2009,i which explains why more businesses are expanding their potential customer base on the Internet.

Overall statistics point to financial gains on sites equipped with Quick Shopping Cart. Consider Hanh Court. His online store, www.Shop.3BSpecialties.com, concentrates on automobile lighting. During the third quarter alone, the site recorded a 115 percent surge in revenue this year over last.

Quick Shopping Cart handles inventory and shipping calculations on the fly. It also is able to sync with QuickBooks for business owners looking to keep their accounting in order on a single program. Built on Go Daddy’s Web hosting infrastructure and using an SSL Certificate, Quick Shopping lets anyone take advantage of the fast-growing Internet audience.

Scottsdale, Arizona – (Website Hosting Directory) – August 6, 2008 – The Arizona animal rescue effort, was recently given a $50,000 donation, for the Humane Society’s annual telethon, by web hosting domain registrar, GoDaddy.

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.

Scottsdale, Arizona – (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) – June 5, 2008 – GoDaddy’s SSL certificates, have been chosen by major technology suppliers, Dell, Imperva, OPNET and SmugMug.

Dell is an online commerce pioneer and a leader in computer systems and services. Imperva is a leader in application data security. OPNET is a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications. SmugMug is a leading photo-sharing site.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy remarked, ”It’s great to see Dell, Opnet, SmugMug, Imperva and so many other big companies taking advantage of our SSL certificates. All of our customers get the same functionality, stringent vetting standards and reliability as any other cert in the industry. If you could get an identical product for a fraction of the price, why wouldn’t you do it?”

Andy Lark, Vice President of marketing and communications, and head of Dell.com remarked, ”As a company with a strong online presence, security is vital to our success. Privacy and security are an uncompromising commitment we make to millions of customers every day.”

Mark Kraynak, Senior Director of Strategic Marketing at Imperva commented, ”The decision on which certificate provider we chose to use was simple. Go Daddy makes it easy. They have reliable customer support, an excellent product and the price is right.”
