No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet Races to 1st NASCAR Win!

Ron Fellows Drives Go Daddy to Victory Lane

Last update: 9:26 p.m. EDT Aug. 2, 2008

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug 02, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Watch out! GoDaddy.com now has a NASCAR victory to go with its IndyCar victory already this season. Ron Fellows drove the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet to Victory Lane after winning today's NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada.

This was Fellows' first time behind the wheel of the GoDaddy.com sponsored race car and the first NASCAR win for Go Daddy. Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick made history this year being the first woman to win an IndyCar Series race by winning the Japan 300.

"First - I want to thank Dale Earnhardt Jr. and GoDaddy.com," said an emotional and elated Ron Fellows after winning the rain-shortened race. "This was good fun. Now I need to beg Dale Jr. to let me run next week."

Fellows took over the lead thanks to some strategic pit stop planning. He then led the historic race, this is the first time Nationwide Series has run rain tires, by more than 45 seconds when it was called due to extremely low visibility.

"It's exhilarating Ron Fellows brought the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet to Victory Lane," said GoDaddy.com CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. "All the pieces just came together...the race was in Canada, Ron is a Canadian fan favorite and he's a road course expert."

GoDaddy.com is the sponsor of the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolets in six of this season's Nationwide Series races. Earnhardt, a GoDaddy.com spokesman and NASCAR's most popular driver, designed the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolets along with racing the car April 5 in Texas. Earnhardt will take the wheel again at the Watkins Glen next Sunday, Aug. 9. Mark Martin then pilots in Michigan Aug. 16 and in Kansas Sept. 27.

GoDaddy Launches Internationalized Domain Names

Saw this press release just distributed by GoDaddy tonight and thought I would share with all my international visitors.

 

Register Domains in More Than 100 Native Languages at GoDaddy.com

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- trying to install a high-definition television using instructions printed in a language you neither speak nor read.

Now imagine how much easier it would be to get your message across by communicating in your target’s preferred, native language. GoDaddy.com is helping make the Web truly universal with Internationalized Domain Names, or IDNs.

An IDN is a Web address expressed in a native language, and it's helping to revolutionize the Internet. In the past, it has been difficult to translate western character domain names to other languages because popular scripts, such as Arabic, Chinese or Cyrillic, contain characters that were not previously supported by Web browsers.

GoDaddy.com has made Internationalized Domain Names available in more than 100 native languages for .com and .net domain names. Go Daddy also plans to make Internationalized Domain Names available in select languages for .info later this month.

Registering an Internationalized Domain Name with GoDaddy.com gives consumers the chance to build a complete Web presence in most any language. That's because many of the GoDaddy.com products – including Go Daddy Web-based Email and Web hosting packages – support non-Western language-based characters.

GoDaddy.com is committed to making it easier for consumers all over the world to navigate domain names, GoDaddy.com CEO & Founder Bob Parsons said. “With Internationalized Domain Names, users can find what they need in theirown language.

GoDaddy.com Email offers virus protection, spam filtering, phishing fraud protection and 256-bit encryption at no additional charge.

GoDaddy.com is the worlds top paid host provider – all its packages feature unparalleled 24x7 Customer Support, world-class data centers and a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee.
