With over 200 billion electronic messages sent every day, email is considered the top means of online communication in the world. Analysts estimate that 87% of North Americans, 74% of Europeans and 58% of consumers in the Asia-Pacific region choose email as their primary means of communicating on the Web.*
One of the most appealing features of Go Daddy email hosting is that users' email addresses contain their domain name. So, instead of an address made up of a random string of numbers and letters, your Go Daddy email address can start with your name, nickname or Twitter handle, followed by "@yourdomain.com".
Go Daddy hosted email addresses are not only easy for friends and business associates to remember, but also promote your domain name at the same time, branding it in your email receiver's mind. If you happen to have an eCommerce or Web site built on that domain, everyone who receives an email from you will know just where to find it.
But there's another advantage to Go Daddy email: Our email hosting protects you from the barrage of spam that often dogs owners of free email accounts. All Go Daddy accounts are protected from viruses, spam and fraud by the highest level of encryption available - 256-bit encryption. Real live support personnel are available via telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to handle any issues that arise.
For added security, GoDaddy.com email users may encrypt their messages by selecting the "Encrypt Email" icon at the top of the compose window. A dialog box will prompt you to choose a password and hint - preferably one that only the email recipient will recognize. Once the receiver enters the correct password, the message is displayed.
In recognition of the growing reliance on mobile devices, all Go Daddy email plans offer SMS/text mail service. Most also come with mobile email access.
Go Daddy adds value to its email hosting service by including Online File Folder™ and Group Calendar free with each email plan. Online File Folder provides a safe, central storage bin for files you may wish to open from a variety of computers or mobile devices. Calendar makes it easy to keep the whole group, team or family organized, providing round-the-clock access to your calendar and list of to-dos. Wherever you have access to an Internet-connected computer, you can safely open your Calendar and all the documents in your Online File Folder.
