(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Domain registrar and web hosting provider Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com) announced on Friday it is hiring people and expanding its office space to meet the demands of its growing business, despite the struggling economy.
The company officially celebrated a new wing of its Scottsdale, Arizona facility by throwing an “expansion party”, attended by local government officials and Go Daddy employees.
This year, Go Daddy says it has already set company records for new customers and new orders, as well as made more than 100 hires and expanded many of its divisions including customer care, legal, accounting, marketing and development.
The domain registrar expanded its office space with an additional 21,000 square foot facility, taking over another wing of the Science & Technology complex located north of the Scottsdale Airpark.
Scottsdale Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane and several other community and business leaders joined Go Daddy president and chief operating officer Warren Adelman, along with Go Daddy employees at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Go Daddy Girl Candice Michelle was on hand to sign autographs and spin the prize wheel, which rewarded top employees with cash prizes and mortgages paid for an entire year.
“Go Daddy is the on-ramp to the Internet and the Internet, we think, is the heart of the new economy,” says Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO and founder. “I know people like to use the Internet for business, entertainment and emailing, but when it comes to customer service, people much prefer talking to a real person. Go Daddy’s customer care employees are excited about what they’re doing, which translates to our customers and helps make our service the absolute best in the industry.”
According to the press release, Go Daddy has more than 6.3 million customers worldwide and 33 million domain names under management.
The Go Daddy Group currently employs more than 2,050 people and has offices in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Gilbert and Tempe, Arizizona; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Denver; and Washington D.C.
And despite the company’s global reach, Parsons refuses to offshore or outsource a single job.
Earlier this week, UK budget web hosting provider Fasthosts announced it will soon replace its UK customer service team with offshore call centers in Romania and the Phillipines.
