June 13, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Go Daddy (http://www.godaddy.com) has been voted “Favorite Linux-Friendly Web Hosting Company”, it was reported yesterday. The title was awarded by Linux Journal magazine whose readers voted for Go Daddy during its annual “Readers’ Choice Awards”.
Go Daddy has developed its Linux hosting offerings with initiatives such as adding “Crons” to allow customers to run scheduled tasks. The company has also added Database Backup and Restore options alongside the ability to integrate Google Webmaster Tools and Password Protected Directories to control access to certain web pages.
The initiatives have certainly paid off. “Obviously, Go Daddy has made tremendous strides with our readership,” suggested Carlie Fairchild, the publisher of the Linux Journal.

Go Daddy caters to more than five million customers and bills is regarded as “the world's largest domain name registrar”, managing more than 29 million domain names.
