GoDaddy.com

Posted in Webmaster by Fox on the August 30th, 2005

Just to make it clear from the start, a domain name is an internet URL address such as: www.google.com or www.google.net or else…

I’ve recently renewed some of the several domain names I own and/or manage. My domains registrar is GoDaddy.com, the best in the business if you ask me. They offer the most competitive prices on the market, one of the lowest, and their service is just great. They also are very reliable: I’ve been with Go Daddy for a couple of years now and never had any problems related to hardware failure, I also never received from them a single spam email – they have a very strict policy regarding spam, a part of their site is just dedicated for reporting abuses by Go Daddy domain owners. Another product sold is web hosting packages, inexpensive compared to other hosting companies who charge you $20 a month for a 50 Mb package.

You sometimes even get surprised by free stuff they are willing to give away to you just for being a customer. Some time ago, they offered 100 free email forwarding for each domain name owned by customers; I was surprised to get a couple of hundreds of these just for free without buying anything, I was actually being rewarded for purchasing a product a couple of month earlier. More recently, they added a free pop3 account with each domain name registration or renewal (a feature they used to sell for $9.95). Another amazing offer is the sale of domain names for $3.99 with every non-domain purchase you make; you could thus get a domain name and 1 month hosting for the price of only the domain name (even lower actually).

Another issue GoDaddy.com is getting known for is Radio Go Daddy, an internet radio station that broadcasts once a week during two hours. The show is strictly domain-related and hosted by Bob Parsons (check his blog), founder and president of Go Daddy. I’ve been a listener of the show for some time now, I must admit it’s pretty good; guests are brought to the show (a porn star once, a weird guy another time…) to talk about their domains.
