Godaddy Web Hosting - Microsoft Corp. today announced that GoDaddy.com(R), the world's leading domain
name registrar, is transitioning approximately 4.5 million Web domains to be
hosted on the Microsoft(R) Solution for Windows(R)-based Hosting. Upon
completion of the migration, Go Daddy(R) will have moved all its parked
domains from Linux to the Windows platform.
"Our business is based on providing the best possible service at the
lowest possible price. This strategy requires us to maximize all of our
resources, particularly our technology assets," said Warren Adelman,
GoDaddy.com president and COO. "It was clear from all of the testing we've
conducted that Microsoft provides an efficient and scalable operating
platform, while also providing the performance needed to handle our
extraordinary growth."
GoDaddy.com, known for its competitively priced, service-packed product
offerings and high levels of customer service, is the world's No. 1 domain
name registrar, both in terms of new registrations and domains under
management. The company annually ranks as one of the fastest-growing privately
held businesses in the country and has done so by offering consumers and small
and medium-sized businesses a diverse range of Web hosting products and
services that simplify the creation and management of their online presence.
The Microsoft Solution for Windows-based Hosting supports GoDaddy.com's
low-cost, high-value strategy by providing a technology platform that is
security-enhanced, highly scalable and easy to manage. Further, through a
growing ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISVs) creating applications
based on the Microsoft Solution for Windows-based Hosting, GoDaddy.com can
introduce new services to its customers easily and cost-effectively. As an
example, Go Daddy recently created delivery applications for both DotNetNuke
and Telligent Systems' Community Server that give Windows-based hosters the
ability to create dynamic Web-based applications that seamlessly integrate
with their hosting accounts. In addition, Go Daddy recently developed and
deployed its Quick Blog tool that permits the aggregation of bloggers in one
large Windows-based application, giving each blogger a unique domain.
"Microsoft solutions for the Web hosting industry have continued to gain
traction in the market over the past several years. Go Daddy's decision to
migrate its domains to the Windows platform is a significant validation point
of our strategy," said Pascal Martin, general manager of Worldwide Hosting at
Microsoft. "The industry has reached a point where Web hosting providers must
rapidly deploy new high-value services, while simultaneously reducing
operating costs in order to compete. Microsoft along with its ecosystem of
partners provides the solutions to help hosters fulfill both goals."

Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services
and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.
