Go Daddy Announced Mac OS X Web Hosting

Go Daddy officially introduced its Mac Hosting solution, Cloud Server powered by Mac OS X. The new virtual dedicated servers provide the power of a dedicated Mac OS X server for a fraction of the cost.

Go Daddy’s technical staff supplies the support to keep the server up and running, so customers can manage a number of native Mac OS X Server applications. Some of the apps include Mail Services, Hosting, iChat Server, Wiki Server and iCal Server. Users and applications are managed via a Mac interface, and its open architecture allows companies with Mac and Windows users to connect to the server.

Based on Apple’s enterprise-class Xserve and Parallels technology, the service provides the usability Apple is known for with the reliability of Go Daddy hosting. All Go Daddy Web hosting plans are backed by 24/7 customer care.

The plans range depending on the size of the company or project. Customers can also choose how much RAM, storage and bandwidth they want depending on their server needs. If a customer needs to upgrade at a later date, the plans are elastic, giving customers flexibility to upgrade when they need.
