Get Online Today: Today, Microsoft announced a new partnership with GoDaddy that will give small businesses more tools for their online business, providing domains, a website, and Microsoft email tools for just $1 per month for the first year of the contract.
The new program is called Get Online Today and includes what the companies call a “full suite of services from GoDaddy in partnership with Microsoft.”
The partnership is clearly a win-win deal for GoDaddy and Microsoft, as the former will provide access to domains and website creation solutions, and the latter will promote the Office 365 subscription to more customers.
In a statement released today, Microsoft is apparently praising Office, explaining that such a deal would be very convenient for all small businesses trying to secure their online presence quickly and easily.
The Get Online Today program will provide small businesses with a domain and a subscription to GoDaddy's Website Builder, which includes website hosting for the selected domain.
At the same time, those interested will also get Microsoft Office 365, which comes with essential tools for email, contacts, and calendaring. All will be available under the domain.
The offer includes $50 Bing Ads credit and phone support from GoDaddy in case something goes wrong with the website.
All of the above is available for $1 per month for the first year, but regular pricing will apply immediately after the first year.
Availability
Microsoft says the new joint program with GoDaddy is available in the United States starting September 15. It will be available in other countries starting next month.
