Linux-Friendly Web Host, GoDaddy, Takes Magazine Award

Who's the favorite Linux-Friendly Web hosting provider? Linux Users Say it's GoDaddy.com

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (June 12, 2008) – GoDaddy.com is the winner of Linux Journal magazine’s “Favorite Linux-Friendly Web Hosting Company,” as voted by users for its annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

“Obviously, Go Daddy has made tremendous strides with our readership,” said Linux Journal Publisher Carlie Fairchild.

GoDaddy.com has worked to develop its Linux hosting offerings. In the last year, Go Daddy added Cron , a service that allows Linux customers to run a task on a scheduled basis. Go Daddy customers can now use this feature to schedule updates of content, email daily archives of forums or create a custom job that fits specific needs. Go Daddy customers also have Database Backup and Restore options, the ability to integrate Google Webmaster Tools and Password Protected Directories, a feature that allows the customer to limit Web access through their hosting accounts.

GoDaddy.com provides Linux customers with newly supported application frameworks as well, including a new Web-based File Manager and Editor. GoDaddy.com additionally offers its Hosting Connections portfolio featuring one-click install applications to enhance Web sites. GoDaddy.com has also added a highly requested application, Drupal, a free software program allowing customers to publish and manage Web content.

The Web giant has been honored with a range of awards, beyond the Linux distinction. GoDaddy.com was voted “Best Registrar” by Domain Name Wire recently. Earlier this year Go Daddy was given the “Domainers Choice Award for Best Hosting Company – 2008.” Last year, The Go Daddy Group, Inc. appeared on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list.

Go Daddy is also one of the top Web host providers in the business and supports more than five million customers. Go Daddy is the world’s largest domain name registrar, with more than 29 million domain names in its portfolio.

All Go Daddy hosting packages are backed by world-class data centers and a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee.
