Getting a website use to be a challange that many small and home business owners would grit their teeth at. Deciding on the Domain Name, establishing a hosting strategy and finding a web designer that could put it all together and then promote the site to bring in visitors was something years ago that businesses actually waivered on in neccesity.
People also found that they wanted to establish personal websites that could bring them closer to friends and family and often signed up for accounts with free sites that would deliver pop ups to the visitors and made it difficult for the site to be found. Over the last five years this has changed quite dramatically on both fronts as business realized that they needed a site to bring in customers even locally and could compliment marketing with a service that wouldn't cost them a ton of money and if planned correctly could present the business as a Internet Showroom.
Home and personal users also found they could create sites easily without offending visitors with pop up ads and have the domain name they wanted if available. One of the companies that got its start with offering domain names and now is one of the largest around the world is based in Arizona and run by the vibrant personality Bob Parsons and a local staff of sales and support, Go Daddy.
For years the company has offered not only inexpensive domain name registration but also name registrations such as .net, .ca, .tv and .mobi. More recently the company has been offering .me for an even more personal touch to domain names. With the domain names the company offers hosting plans on a monthly basis all the way up to dedicated servers and e-commerce solutions to get most company sites exactly what they need.
With the Hosting and Domains also comes a wide range of tools for the Web Development whether done by the company or with a third party wed design firm for adding features easily such as blogs, forums, e-commerce and photo galleries as well as easy to manage Email for both Pop and webmased mail solutions.
We talked with Justin Jilg at GoDaddy about one of the most recent offerings from the company with Unlimited Email. Consumers can visit the GoDaddy site, purchase a domain name and then an email package to use that domian name with. With the premium unlimited email plan, users can have up to 10 mailboxes with Unlimited Email storage. This is a great way to keep photos, PDF's and other documents you may need for either sharing with friends and family or using for an important meeting. Unlimited Email accounts also come with a 10 user Group Calender for sharing meetings and schedules as well as a 50MB file locker for storing and retrieving over the web.
