Daddy Enhances Email Accounts with Expanded Storage
and New Features [August 30, 2004]
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (August 30, 2004)—GoDaddy.com,
the No. 1 registrar of new domain names, has improved
its email offerings by increasing storage space by up
to 500 percent while providing additional mailboxes
and mobile mail applications to users.
Quick, reliable and secure, Go Daddy’s email accounts
assist customers in building domain name brand identity
through the affiliation of their domain name with all
incoming and outgoing email messages. Go Daddy’s
robust email systems also provide complementary web-based
email that can be accessed from any computer at any
time through the most popular web browser platforms.
Go Daddy’s new Mobile Webmail application makes
email accessible from cell phones and personal digital
assistants.
Included virus protection and a patent-pending spam
filtering program provide protection against the rising
number of email borne viruses, malware, Trojans and
unsolicited bulk email. Users can customize the spam
filter strength for optimum results based on personal
requirements. With features such as multiple spam-filtering
strength settings, address book management and calendar
options, Go Daddy’s email system is one of the
most feature-rich available on the market today.
“We
developed our email offering to provide the best possible
solution for our customers’ growing needs,”
said Bob Parsons, president and founder of Go Daddy.
“This most recent upgrade is a reflection of our
customers’ success—and their requirements
for the most robust email system on the market.”
Go Daddy has also enhanced its email offers by providing
a version of web mail specifically for low bandwidth
connections. This allows users at any connectivity level
to send and receive email in a quick and efficient manner.
The four packages, developed to meet the need of any
customer, include:
• Economy—One mailbox and 25 MB of data
storage for $9.95 per year
• Deluxe—Five mailboxes and 1 GB (1,000
MB) of data storage for $19.95 per year
• Business—100 mailboxes and 2 GB (2,000
MB) of data storage for $29.95 per year
• Business Pro—500 mailboxes and 2 GB
(2,000 MB) of data storage for $69.95 per year
Each email package includes advanced composition tools
that allow users to send text and HTML emails, or to
schedule email delivery for a later date or time. The
web-based accounts also provide a customizable tool
bar and the ability to flag email messages or use a
quick-view function.
“We recently merged our web site hosting and personal
email into one Go Daddy account and could not be happier,”
said Susie Atherton, owner of an antiques and collectibles
shop in Tehachapi, Calif. (www.TrojanHorseAntiques.com).
“We now have all our accounts in one place, with
five times the disc space, for $30 per month less than
we were paying. I wish we had made the switch sooner.”
Current Go Daddy email account holders will receive
the increase in mailboxes and storage to their account
immediately.
