GoDaddy.com To Support Web Sites Built With Ruby On Rails

April 25, 2006; 05:10 AM
GoDaddy.com, the No. 1 registrar of domain names worldwide and the world's largest Web host in terms of hostnames, now supports Web sites created using Ruby on Rails.

Ruby on Rails is an open-source framework which lets developers easily assemble rich and dynamic Web sites. Programming with Rails allows a Web designer to wrap applications easily around a database. It has been widely acclaimed in Web development and software engineering circles as a new standard for ease of development and speed of delivery.

"Our customers are finding Ruby on Rails to be incredibly valuable in shaping their online presence," said Bob Parsons, GoDaddy.com CEO and Founder. "We are pleased to be able to offer support for a framework that increases the utility of the sites we host."

“We came over to Go Daddy specifically because Ruby on Rails was offered,” GoDaddy.com customer Khiem Ngo said. "It's a very agile framework, it gives you a lot more functionality and it's an easy programming language to use once you learn the syntax."

GoDaddy.com is the first top-tier hosting company to work with Ruby on Rails programming. Go Daddy® provides flexibility and versatility for the development community by supporting a wide range of languages, including ASP, PHP, .NET, Perl, Python and Java.
