Over the past couple of months I have been exploring putting up a shopping cart to sell some unique items for the show. There are a 100 different sites that have a 100 different features but what I found was that most where simply to expensive, or reminded me of some of those old school shopping carts seen in the mid 90′s.

When I went over to look at the GoDaddy Marketplace, it was just what I was looking for easy to configure, easy to add products, no monthly re-occurring feed etc. I did not want to have to spend a 100 hours setting something up and what I found was setting the store up was pretty easy. We are waiting final go ahead from the partners we are working with to make it live but, this I could not be more pleased with the process.

When the site is up and live I will update this article and give you all a heads up on how the entire transaction process goes. If you want to see Godaddy apparel in the market place check out the provided link.

Note: While GoDaddy is a sponsor of my show, I do not make any money of any sales from the above, except my own site when it goes live. For savings on other products at GoDaddy.com be sure to check out all my Promo Codes.

GoDaddy Grid Hosting is a new product over at GoDaddy that puts the power of multiple servers to work for you. With 3 month introductory pricing they have it priced to move. The have both standard Windows and Linux machines available with adequate bandwidth and disk space. What I was shocked about is that they offering unlimited computer cycles with these plans.

According to the GoDaddy FAQ “Grid Hosting “pools” the resources of many servers and your site’s content resides on multiple servers. This networked system helps achieve a high reliability—beyond 99.9%—for your website because if one server shuts down, only a fraction of the grid’s resources are lost.” What is important to know here is that they are using elastic scalability, requiring no site migration during growth spurts.

What I really like about the GoDaddy Grid Hosting is that you do not need any server experience. If you have managed a shared hosting account before running your site on Grid Hosting requires no other training.

The introductory price of $4.99 is pretty amazing. I signed up for an account today, to just see how it works and will run a couple of domains on it. GoDaddy appears to me to have hit the nail on the head with this one. I will let you know in the weeks to come on how their Grid Hosting package will stack up.
