When
there are 50 competitors in your industry that use the same prefix
Domain in their name, and 10 or more big ones with names
starting with Reg, and the oldest one has the long boring
name Network Solutions, how do you stand out from the crowd? You
go a completely different direction. And have some fun in the
usual drab business world. And call your company Go Daddy - that's
how!
This
is quite a change from using your kids' initials too. Of course,
it works best when there is a charismatic Daddy at the helm. Oh
I know, it is not for a big business or corporate use you say.
Wrong. GoDaddy.com is now the premier registrar of internet domain
names.
They
still have great fun with their name and marketing so they stand
out dramatically... and get amazing PR coverage as a result. We
love all their promos, even though their upsell smorgasbord is
sometimes overwhelming. But they have the best customer service
in the industry from thousands of support people in Arizona imbued
with the same friendly spirit. Makes us want to chant Go Daddy
Go .. of course, they own and use that domain too!
The
only reason we never gave them a rating of a perfect 10 for presentation
is that we have heard some criticism (OK, almost derision) about
the logo and color scheme. We don't agree... but we had to give
some weight to the public view. However, it is especially nice
to see someone actually make their tagline part of the logo, and
properly register it too.
Millions
of people find them monthly at www.godaddy.com.
