As countries from Europe continue to have a better Internet adoption rate among its population numbers, the business world will have to adapt to the changes in technology and consider launching local products for the EU region more and more. Acting on this market trend and on its internal statistics analysis, the Go Daddy Group has announced the launch of a new EU-based data center.


The leading domain-name registrar and top hosting company on the web, will also handle domain name registration for .ES (Spain), .EU (The European Union), .DE (Germany) and .NL (Holland) names as a part of its European expansion policy.

Capitalizing on its Spanish support for the Latino population across the United States, a support phone number will be available for its Spanish clients that will automatically redirect them to their US-based call center.

This expansion policy has been backed up by a recent growth in client numbers at Go Daddy, with the domain-name registrar recently topping over one million application installs through its own Go Daddy Hosting Connection service. This tool helps user with little technical knowledge to install popular web-based applications in no more than three clicks.

“European customers serviced by the new data center will be able to have their Web sites served faster to European visitors, based on the distance the data is travelling.” said Nick Fuller, communications manager for the Go Daddy Group. “The data center is backed up by Go Daddy’s well known reliability and support.”

Go Daddy is also planning to include a suite of web-based email services and virtual dedicated servers in the near future.

“No one will take better care of our customers than we will – no one,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “By spending the money up front and not outsourcing operations, we control key factors like uptime, security and speed.”

“No one will take better care of our customers than we will – no one,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons.

What a load of SH*T, the new centre sounds great, but when you go to send an email it take an hour and a half for it to reach.

Server supports says that its normal as there is a queue for that relay server......Hummmmmm
they forgot to mention that in the sales call.....

The EU mail server is horrible. It truncates the Return-Path address routinely ("known issue" for months now) and email get stuck sending multiple times when using SMTP (not our fault). Tech support is there to just constantly tell you that they care, but not to actually DO anything, horrible products.

I'd like to agree with the earlier comments. I am currently speaking with a gentleman by the name of Jonathan in GoDaddy who is advising me that any of my email data that is resident on an EU server is not backed up and recoverable, I dont know if this also applies to their hosting solutions, but i've never heard of an data center not handling customers data with the highest level of integrity until I came across GoDaddy
