This Isn't Your Grandma's Gift Card

Remember that awful shirt your grandmother gave you last year? The one you used as part of your Halloween costume this year? And then you posted those pictures to your blog and grandma saw it? Ooops.

Now there is a way to give or receive a 'useful' gift and use the Internet wisely. GoDaddy, a popular domain name registrar, has announced it now offers Go Daddy Gift Cards. Gift Cards can be purchased in any amount from $2 up to $1,000. Customers can have a digital card sent via email to their friends and family. There's even a premium shipping option for a ready-to-wrap plastic card.

Today, gift cards are top of mind for millions of people when choosing a gift. According to a report by Deloitte & Touche, gift cards are the most popular gift item. In fact, shoppers spent more than $18 billion on gift cards during the 2005 holiday season and more than $35 billion on gift cards the entire year according to the National Retail Foundation and others.

"We're always looking for new and fun ways to help our customers share the online experience with their friends, family and business associates," said Bob Parsons, founder and CEO of GoDaddy.com. "Our Go Daddy cards are easy to purchase and share."

A Go Daddy Gift Card can be used to register a domain name or purchase any of more than 35 products offered by the world's leading domain name registrar, including WebSite Tonight, Quick Podcast or QuickBlog. Not tech savvy? No problem. Every Go Daddy product comes with 24/7/365 customer support so even first-time Web users can establish and maintain an Internet presence.
