BURLINGTON, Mass.,
Jan. 11, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- Endurance International
Group (NASDAQ: EIGI), today announced that Google Domains
(NASDAQ: GOOG) has selected its Bluehost brand to provide WordPress
hosting solutions to new and existing customers. Google Domains
customers can now also link their domains and create new accounts
from Bluehost's website.
Bluehost's unique architecture offers customers proven
performance, reliability and functionality for running a WordPress
site, which is increasingly important as WordPress currently powers
over 25 percent of the web and is the most popular online
publishing platform available.
In fact, many small businesses rely on WordPress to run their
businesses and a recent SMB Trust Index cited WordPress as the most
trusted brand for small businesses. This new Bluehost offering
extends the relationship between Endurance and Google and reflects
both companies' joint efforts to get small businesses online and
help them grow.
"Bluehost and Endurance have worked closely with WordPress.com's
parent company, Automattic, for years now to ensure our web hosting
platform would seamlessly run WordPress websites," said Endurance
CEO & Founder, Hari Ravichandran. "We're honored to begin
working with Google Domains to make it easier for small business
customers to get online and manage their online presence."
Bluehost's WordPress solutions are built on an innovative
platform which offers instant WordPress provisioning, automatic
upgrades, Jetpack, MOJO Marketplace, as well as powerful security
features and more.
Bluehost hosts over 2 million WordPress websites, supports
full-time WordPress Core developers on staff and has been
recommended by WordPress.org since 2005. Bluehost experts are
available to offer customers 24/7 WordPress support, one-click
installation and access to custom WordPress tools to scale their
website presence as they grow.
"We have a long-standing partnership with Bluehost and we work
closely with them to ensure WordPress users' success, and to give
back to the open source community," said Catherine Stewart, VP of Business Wrangling at
Automattic. "Now with Bluehost teaming up with Google Domains, we
hope to welcome more WordPress users to the web and to continue to
help more small businesses get online."
