Go Daddy has surpassed a significant milestone with its Hosting Connection easy application installer - 2 million WordPress installs. The app installer saves time by automatically installing WordPress, giving users more time to build their websites. It was developed by Go Daddy, the world's largest provider of Web hosting, domain name registrations and new SSL Certificates.
WordPress is the most popular content management system in the world, according to BuiltWith.com, and gives users the flexibility to create customized websites using different themes, plugins and add-ons.
WordPress is one of more than 50 popular applications for which customers are provided easy install access via Go Daddy Hosting Connection.
"Go Daddy created Hosting Connection in response to customers who were looking to quickly and easily install Web applications," said Go Daddy Sr. Director of Hosting Scott Brown, who oversees Hosting Connection. "The goal of Hosting Connection is to make the installation of WordPress easier and faster for our customers and judging by the 2 million installs, we think it's a solution customers wanted."
Applications installed with Hosting Connection are backed by Go Daddy's 4GH Web hosting, which gives customers the consistent capability to handle sudden website traffic surges by automatically scaling their resources.
"We are here to serve our customers, first and foremost," said Go Daddy CEO Warren Adelman. "We developed this platform to save people time. All users have to do is point and click. The true power of Hosting Connection is in how easily it delivers software and a consistent user set-up experience to a large audience."
Hosting Connection also notifies customers when an update to the program they are using is available. Customers can log in to their account and choose to update the application automatically, without the need to modify their hosting account.
Hosting Connection is backed by Go Daddy's world-class 24/7 personalized customer support.
Customers who are interested in using WordPress can use Hosting Connection, purchase a specialized 4GH WordPress plan or install the program manually on any of Go Daddy's WordPress supported hosting plans. Hosting Connection also offers more elaborate, premium WordPress templates.
Also available to all WordPress users, no matter the hosting provider, is Go Daddy's recently developed P3 plugin, which quickly diagnoses sluggish WordPress plugin performance.
