Round Tale

(The Hosting News) – The Go Daddy portfolio surpassed 40 million domain names today. This marks an important Internet milestone and also demonstrates the significant role the Web plays in the ‘new economy.’

The CEO and founder of Go Daddy, Bob Parsons, was quoted as saying that “the Internet is the heart of the new economy”. He also went onto add that “the Internet is one of the few sectors showing monumental growth and Go Daddy is positioned in the sweet spot of the expansion. Think about it, to have your own Web site, you need a domain name and no one can deliver on a domain like Go Daddy. Our growth is essentially a window into what’s happening with the Internet.”

Since 2000, Internet usage has exploded, growing from 361 million users to more than 1.7 billion users. During that same time, domain name registrations grew at an even faster rate. In recent years, as the economy sputtered, the domain name industry has thrived. Consider this: for the last two consecutive years, Go Daddy has been registering, renewing or transferring a domain name at the rate of one every second of every day.

Go Daddy typically registers a million domain names per month, which was an Internet ‘first’ initially recorded by Go Daddy back in April 2007. Go Daddy now holds a near 50 percent market share of all active new domains registered in the world and is more than three times the size of its closest competitor.

The 40 million-milestone comes as the Internet prepares to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the .COM domain extension.  “Go Daddy is one of the pioneers that has elevated domain names into the mainstream consciousness,” said Mark McLaughlin, VeriSign CEO.  “We’ll be highlighting their story as part of our upcoming dot-COM twenty-fifth anniversary celebrations.”

“Over the next twenty-five years, I see the Internet growing exponentially,” said Parsons. “Think about it, whether you are communicating, learning or conducting business, being on the Internet is where it’s all happening. I’d say if you aren’t online with your business, you really aren’t in the game.”

It’s difficult to argue with Parsons’ prediction, when you consider, at the height of the .COM bubble bursting, almost exactly ten years ago to the day, there were a mere 17 million domains registered worldwide. Today, Go Daddy has more than twice that number of domain names in its portfolio alone.

Go Daddy’s growth is benefiting people looking for jobs right now too. As businesses linked to industries like home sales, manufacturing and publishing struggle in today’s economic climate, Go Daddy has stood out as one of the few companies growing and in ‘hiring mode.’ The domain name registrar and Web host provider proudly refuses to offshore a single customer care position and has hired hundreds of people in corporate, development and customer care positions in recent months. Currently there are more than 100 open positions available at www.GoDaddy.com/Jobs.

Go Daddy serves more than 7.5 million customers worldwide. Currently, Go Daddy operates customer care facilities in Ariz., including at its corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, as well as nearby centers in Tempe and Gilbert.

Go Daddy is planning to hire an estimated 60 people in the next eight weeks for its new customer care center in Iowa. The new facility accommodates 500 employees. Go Daddy plans to expand its workforce over a period of months to eventually fill the new building.

The company has operated an office in Cedar Rapids for close to nine years already. People in that office work for Go Daddy’s marketing, development, legal and business intelligence departments and are set to join the customer care employees at the new office located at 1 Parsons Drive in Hiawatha.

The 50,000-square-foot office space is big enough for further expansion, and given recent history, that will be important in the near future. Last year, Go Daddy expanded its Ariz. facilities and opened a Data Center in the Netherlands. The company also has offices in Denver, Colo. and Washington, D.C.

“Iowa is a great place from which to recruit quality people,” said Vice President of Go Daddy Customer Care Miguel Lopez. “We expect to begin advertising the new open positions next month.”

Go Daddy does not outsource or offshore any of its more than 1,500 customer care positions. Keeping its employees in-house ensures Go Daddy has the most responsive customer support in the industry.

Iowa customer care positions are set to be online in February. People with a passion for technology are encouraged to apply at www.GoDaddy.com/Jobs. All new employees will receive extensive training.

Scottsdale, Arizona – (The Hosting News) – August 26, 2009 – GoDaddy.com web hosting and domain registrar, helped boost the bottom line for the Arizona Humane Society Telethon by matching every single contribution made on the Internet.

The Scottsdale-based domain name registrar and web hosting provider also doubled its own donation with a $100,000 check delivered by none other than Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons’ dogs Max and Chief.

This is the fourth consecutive year Go Daddy delivered big for Arizona animals and in these rough economic times, when donations are more difficult to secure, Go Daddy was happy to help make a difference as the title sponsor. Total money raised in the annual telethon yesterday was more than $328,000.

Go Daddy also helped on the technical side behind the scenes, and on camera many Go Daddy employees answered telephone calls during the live broadcast. The move that really stole the show though was the company’s check delivery method, performed in GoDaddy-esque style… no, not by a Go Daddy Girl, but by the ‘Go Daddy’ dogs.

Max and Chief are Parsons’ dogs and have become regulars for the telethon’s big finish. Bob Parsons, Founder and CEO of GoDaddy noted, ”Max and Chief learn a new trick for each telethon,” referring to how Chief pulled Max in a Go Daddy chariot to deliver the $100,000 check to end the live telethon. Mr. Parsons added, ”Max and Chief even went ‘green’ this year using a chariot instead of the Go Daddy motorized car.”

Whether delivered by Border Terriers or more conventional methods, Go Daddy is continuing to make a difference in the Valley of the Sun with its charitable donations. As many companies are scaling back philanthropic donations due to the economy, Go Daddy is stepping up its charity efforts.

Guy Collison, executive director of the Arizona Humane Society remarked, ”It’s amazing to see that every year Go Daddy has been involved with the telethon they not only meet but exceed our expectations. Go Daddy keeps the telethon’s online components running smoothly and helps organize online contributions. To top it off they doubled their donation this year.”

Thousands of sick, injured and homeless animals across the state will have their lives saved or improved with the money raised through the telethon. The annual charity event not only raises much needed money for these animals, but also provides low-cost spay and neuter services and educational programs, including how to better care for pets, fight animal cruelty and adopt a pet.

Go Daddy’s philanthropic works support a wide variety of charitable and community organizations dedicated to such causes as domestic violence, child abuse, disabled children, teenage homelessness, Parkinson’s research, breast cancer and more. Go Daddy donated $1.7MM to charitable causes last year and is on pace to break its own record for 2009.
