Go Daddy firmly believes that it has a moral duty and responsibility to help our fellow Americans in the wake of this terrible catastrophe. We absolutely must share our financial resources with those in need. Having donated funds to AmeriCares earlier this year in response to the tsunami, we didn't think twice about donating to AmeriCares again since their funds go directly to those people who are in dire need.
Customers asked for a tool that would allow them to delegate domain name management responsibilities to a variety of people on a variety of levels, yet ensure they retain control over their domains. So we developed the exact solution they requested.
Our commercial is going to be made available to the NFL for review.
Everyone should have control of their own name on the Internet. Why not give a gift that is affordable, personal and can be used in so many ways?
It's exciting to know that the customers who made us No. 1 in domains have stayed with us for their hosting needs,
The web-only version is popular, but our 'Road to the Super Bowl' section is also getting a great deal of interest. People want to see why so many of our ads were rejected in the first place.

Of course, lower prices and more customization options doesn't change the fact that all plans are backed by unparalleled 24x7 service.
This showdown went down to the wire. We were about out of time and had produced our 14th and final attempt. I'm ecstatic about being in the Super Bowl again.
What I learned from Rockefeller that's off-the-hook important is: You need to know exactly where you stand in a business at all times. Measure everything, because everything that is measured and watched improves.
We are bitterly disappointed, but we're not giving up yet. It's simply a bad deal for the industry and registrants everywhere. The fact that this monopolistic deal was approved is a loud signal that major changes are needed at ICANN.
The proposed agreement is a bad deal for our customers and the Internet community as a whole. We will fight to convince the ICANN Board of Directors not to accept it.
This year everybody is on a pretty tight leash,
You didn't have what we see today. There wasn't some guy out there dressed up like a farmer. No one ran around in a suit.
