About GoDaddy: Founded in 1997 as Jomax Technologies by Bob Parsons, who previously founded the software development company Parsons Technology, Inc. GoDaddy Web Hosting is currently the largest ICANN-accredited registrar in the world, and is three times the size of its closest competitor, but you didn't come here for domain names which is what a registrar does.
Specials: GoDaddy's Web hosting plans offer 99.9% guaranteed uptime, best-of-breed routers, servers and firewalls and 24/7 support. The
Deluxe plan is a solid choice for a start up and the
Premium plan is the way to go for those of you with a bit more expected traffic.
