New
Go Daddy Hosting Plans Offer Updated Features, Including
ASP.NET Support [August 24, 2004]
SCOTTSDALE,
Ariz. (August 24, 2004)—The Go Daddy Group, Inc.,
the No. 1 registrar of new domain names, has updated
its Web site hosting plans with more storage, more monthly
data transfer and more email account flexibility while
expanding its offerings to include ASP.NET support.
Go Daddy’s comprehensive yet economical hosting
plans now feature the availability of ASP.NET support
on all Windows hosting plans, which will enable Microsoft
developers to create and run advanced applications using
Microsoft Corp.’s cutting-edge technology.
By providing seamless installation for popular open
source applications such as PHPBB2, Coppermine, Mambo
and Nucleus on the Linux platform, Go Daddy’s
new value application support allows customers to intuitively
install common open source applications to create a
unique Internet presence in just minutes.
“Our hosting plans were upgraded to better accommodate
our customers’ growing Web sites and Web site
needs,” says Bob Parsons, President and Founder
of Go Daddy. “Plus, we continue to offer the best
in security for all our hosting customers through our
world-class data center that includes 24/7 monitoring,
24/7 physical security and best-of-breed routers, firewalls
and servers. Now, with our added features, our hosting
plans cannot be beat in the industry.”
The three new plans—Deluxe, Business and Deluxe
Business—offer between 1 GB and 10 GB of disc
storage, between 15 GB to 100 GB of data transfer and
email accounts for 50 to 100 names. Free set-up and
instant activation are additional perks that make it
quick and easy to set up a hosting plan online at www.godaddy.com.
Priced to start at $9.95 per month for Deluxe, the plans
are economical and affordable for Web sites of all shapes
and sizes.
“I chose Go Daddy because it was a local company
and its rates were the most competitive,” says
Troy Corder, PR Manager for Critical Public Relations,
which developed www.smokefreearizona.org. “However,
the addition of ASP.NET support in their Business hosting
plan allowed me to not only create an attractive and
useful site, but also build a forum directly into the
site that is congruent with the look and feel of the
site. Go Daddy was truly the one-stop-shop for all our
Web site needs.”
“The fact that Go Daddy now offers ASP.NET hosting
demonstrates that it understands and supports its customers’
use of the Microsoft programs and applications that
allow Web developers to create complex and visually
appealing Web sites, yet at the valued pricing Go Daddy
is known for,” says Pascal Martin, General Manager
of Microsoft’s Hosting and Application Solution
team.
