Go Daddy Upgrades Hosting Plans
August 3, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider and domain registrar Go Daddy (godaddy.com) announced on Thursday that it has doubled the storage and data transfer allowances for its Delux and Premium shared hosting accounts, while maintaining their prices.
Following the increases, deluxe plans offer 100GB of storage and 1,000GB of data transfer starting at $5.59 per month. Premium plans now provide 200GB of storage and 2,000GB og data transfer starting at $11.99 per month.
"Quality products and low prices are keys to our success at Go Daddy, always have been," says says Bob Parsons, CEO of The Go Daddy Group. "But the icing on the cake is our 24-hour customer support. For Web hosting, that level of support is vital. We are always looking for ways to provide better value and service for our customers."
The hosting plans are available on either Windows or Linux operating systems, says the company, to support the needs of developers working on both platforms. They also include features like forums, blogs and photo galleries.
On Wednesday, Netcraft's monthly Web Server Survey reported that big increases in disk space and transfer allowances had generated big gains at Go Daddy and competitor 1&1 Internet.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team.

We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
