The Webhosting and Domain Registrar giant will offer localised products and support targeting Small and Medium Enterprises which account for 97% of businesses in Asia.
Following today’s launch in 11 additional markets in Asia, GoDaddy is now in 53 markets, supporting 26 languages and 44 currencies. GoDaddy has more than 4 million international customers.
With the launch of 11 new markets, GoDaddy is now in a total of 10 languages and 14 markets across Asia.
These include Hong Kong (English and Traditional Chinese), Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia (English and Malay), Philippines (English and Filipino), Singapore (English and Simplified Chinese), South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Blake Irving, CEO GoDaddy, was in Singapore at Zafferano to share the company’s expansion plans in Asia.
GoDaddy offers a suite of cloud-based products in local language and currency to help businesses find a domain name, create a website, find new customers, and improve business productivity.
For GoDaddy, launching in a country means the service could be available on the web in the country’s language; and customers in those countries can call a local number to speak with a Customer Care person in the local native language.
They no longer need to call the US and speak English for technical support.
