Go Daddy's new Mobile Webmail application makes email accessible from cell phones and personal digital assistants.

Included virus protection and a patent-pending spam filtering program provide protection against the rising number of email borne viruses, malware, Trojans and unsolicited bulk email. Users can customize the spam filter strength for optimum results based on personal requirements. With features such as multiple spam-filtering strength settings, address book management and calendar options, Go Daddy's email system is one of the most feature-rich available on the market today.

"We developed our email offering to provide the best possible solution for our customers' growing needs," said Bob Parsons, president and founder of Go Daddy. "This most recent upgrade is a reflection of our customers' success—and their requirements for the most robust email system on the market."

Go Daddy has also enhanced its email offers by providing a version of web mail specifically for lowbandwidth connections. This allows users at any connectivity level to send and receive email in a quick and efficient manner.

The four packages, developed to meet the need of any customer, include:
• Economy—One mailbox and 25 MB of data storage for $9.95 per year
• Deluxe—Five mailboxes and 1 GB (1,000 MB) of data storage for $19.95 per year
• Business—100 mailboxes and 2 GB (2,000 MB) of data storage for $29.95 per year

Each email package includes advanced composition tools that allow users to send text and HTML emails, or to schedule email delivery for a later date or time. The web-based accounts also provide a customizable tool bar and the ability to flag email messages or use a quick-view function.

"We recently merged our web site hosting and personal email into one Go Daddy account and could not be happier," said Susie Atherton, owner of an antiques and collectibles shop in Tehachapi, Calif. (www.TrojanHorseAntiques.com). "We now have all our accounts in one place, with five times the disc space, for $30 per month less than we were paying. I wish we had made the switch sooner."
Current Go Daddy email account holders will receive the increase in mailboxes and storage to their account immediately.
