Cloud computing and hosting just got more competitive as domain registrar GoDaddy (news, site) joins in on the game with a new service called Data Center on Demand. With the new IaaS offering, GoDaddy is competing directly with the likes of Amazon AWS and Rackspace Cloud.
GoDaddy has been offering shared hosting, virtual dedicated servers and dedicated servers for some time now, although this would be the company’s first chance at getting into the cloud computing market. The new IaaS service is already under a limited release, and GoDaddy plans to launch to the public this coming July. The service basically lets users “create a virtual data center with multiple servers working together,” that can “dynamically grow or shrink your environment as needed.” Data Center on Demand features load balancing, multiple networks and templates for cloud environments.
