Domain name registrar and hosting company GoDaddy (NYSE:GDDY) just announced a new program designed to make it easier for people to connect their domain name with web services such as websites and email, regardless of where the domain is registered or who hosts the service.
The program, called Domain Connect, is a technology initiative that works using a set of open standard APIs, which, according to the announcement, streamlines the process of connecting web services and domain names on different platforms.
Domain Connect Simplifies the Management of GoDaddy DNS Settings
“Once enabled, customers can quickly configure their domain to point to the web service of their choice with push-button simplicity,” the announcement said.
Any domain name or web services provider can sign on as a partner, and a number have, including Microsoft, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, eNom and Name.com. (Squarespace was the first to implement the program.)
The shift toward simplifying connection should come as good news to small business owners who may lack the technical proficiency required to connect their domain name and web services — a process that can be confusing by anyone’s standards.
Domain Connect solves that problem by providing an easy way for a customer to connect a domain name to a service — or even multiple services — without the need to worry about the technical aspects.
