Go Daddy Selling .Jobs Domains

By theWHIR.com , July 26, 2005

July 26, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Domain registrar and Web hosting provider The Go Daddy Group (godaddy.com) announced on Tuesday that its three domain name divisions will now offer the .jobs top-level domain. The .jobs extension serves the human resources community and is backed by the Society for Human Resources Management.

.Jobs is a restricted domain overseen by the registry Employ Media, which verifies qualified applications. The domains are restricted to use in hiring and other HR practices. And companies registering .jobs domains agree to abide by the domain?s use policies as well as the SHRM code of professional ethics.

"Go Daddy is proud to offer the .JOBS domain extension to qualified professionals," says Bob Parsons, president and founder of The Go Daddy Group. "Go Daddy itself has experienced exponential growth during the past few years, so we know full well that job seekers need a direct route to career information. The www.companyname.jobs format provides just that. It provides a direct route for job applicants seeking specific career information at a particular company, and creates a more streamlined recruiting process for human resource professionals."

.Jobs domains will go live on or after September 1, 2005.

The Go Daddy Group's accredited registrars are Go Daddy, Blue Razor Domains and Wild West Domains.

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. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. 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.
