GoDaddy Unlimited Email
August 22, 2008 – 12:55 pmGoDaddy, the largest domain registrar and web hosting provider launched GoDaddy Unlimited Email as a result to the ongoing growth of email boxes. Web analysts estimate the number of email boxes will reach two billion worldwide in 2010, representing an increase of more than 297% percent in ten years. To accommodate this increasing need for storage space, GoDaddy is offering its Unlimited Email plan to provide customers unlimited storage for mailboxes.
Prior to the announcement Go Daddy’s hosting plans include free email accounts, though only 100MB of storage space. Customers who were looking for additional storage were forced to purchase one of the company’s paid email plans; though the Deluxe plan only offered up to 2GB of storage space and 5 mailboxes. The new GoDaddy Unlimited Email plan, at $29.99/year, provides customers with a greater value offering unlimited storage and up to 10 mailboxes, the domain registrar firmly believes.
The Unlimited Email plan is accompanied by additional tools such as access to Online File Folder for files and pictures, and Calendar, with the option to keep private or shared with others. GoDaddy’s CEO Bob Parsons believes this will keep Go Daddy competitive in email storage space, having just a week ago celebrated the announcement of GoDaddy’s SSL market share.
