GoDaddy is to help Thai SMEs build a protected and trustworthy website

GoDaddy, the company that empowers everyday entrepreneurs around the world, launched the Mid-Year Super Sale program, during the highly anticipated season of savings with discounts on its service offerings, starting today until 31 July 2021. 

The program reinforces the company’s commitment to local small and medium businesses (SMEs) by offering this cost-saving opportunity to help them start an online storefront to sustain and grow their business, despite the current COVID-19 crisis and beyond.  

“In the midst of prolonged challenges from the pandemic, we’re committed to supporting Thai SMEs and entrepreneurs to explore the digital sphere as a new way to doing business,” said GoDaddy Southeast Asia’s Marketing Director, Nikki Chavengsub

GoDaddy Mid-Year Super Sale offers the perfect opportunity for small companies and those who want to start new online businesses in Thailand, to take their business into a new powerful channel, and save on GoDaddy online products and services to build a strong online presence.

“We anticipate that our price discounts of up to 50% will make it easier and more affordable for everyday entrepreneurs from small fledgling startups to mature businesses to shift to the digital marketplace, with all the help and tools from GoDaddy to build a website and create an ecommerce shop to grow their business online,” said Chavengsub. 

With the ongoing fast-tracking of digital adoption brought about by extended limited movement restrictions due to the global pandemic, there has been a growing need for small business owners in Thailand to set up a digital storefront to cater to increasing customer interest in making purchases online.

In response to this, GoDaddy officially launched Thai-native speaking Customer Care team in early 2021 to provide expert customer care for Thai customers through three online communication channels – “Request to Call” service at https://th.godaddy.com/contact-us/request-a-call; Facebook Messenger at https://m.me/asia.godaddy ;and LINE Official Account GoDaddyTH  https://lin.ee/5DsbEht.    

In coming months, GoDaddy also plans to roll out Thai language webinars, tutorials, and how-to videos to guide entrepreneur and small business owners on their journey to build their strong, successful digital presence.  

Build secure and trustworthy websites with GoDaddy  

One important thing to note for every business website owner is, while the web industry has taken steps to make the internet more secure for everyone, there are still risks to be aware of related to online activity. The adoption of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificates for your website is one effort to help make websites more secure and trustworthy.  An SSL Certificate encrypts and authenticates data sent between an internet browser and a web server.   

SSL Certificates are issued by a certificate authority such as GoDaddy.  Some ways to know that a website has an SSL Certificate installed on their website are: the website URL starts with HTTPS:// not HTTP://; a small padlock icon appears next to the website URL; and the website shows up without a Not Secure warning.  In addition, having an SSL Certificate can help build confidence for the business and gets the benefit of improved search engine rankings.  

When starting your online business, it’s important to understand three key benefits of having your website secured with an SSL Certificate: 

  1. Protect data 

      The core benefit is that SSL scrambles data transmitted between the website and the server. Personal information like email addresses, passwords, and credit card information can be safely exchanged since no other entities will have the decryption key. An SSL Certificate lets visitors to your website know that it’s encrypted and more secure.  

  1. Better SEO ranking in Google Search 

      A few years ago, Google made changes to its algorithm in order to give the upper hand to HTTPS-enabled websites. Google Search results will show websites with SSL Certificates installed, higher up in their search results listings. 

  1. Having an SSL Certificate Improves Customer Trust

      Nowadays, most web browsers consider websites with an expired or non-existent SSL certificate as insecure and will block or highlight it to warn users who try to visit that website.  Visits to insecure sites can be intercepted by a third party more easily, meaning that information you exchange with the website (e.g. through contact forms) can be exposed. Having an SSL Certificate can help to build trust with your customers as they can see that you and your business take website security seriously.  

 “It is an advantage for business owners to know the different types of SSL certificates available.  An SSL Certificate from a service provider like GoDaddy, can help business owners protect their website. Each GoDaddy SSL certificate is backed by award-winning GoDaddy customer support, ensuring that you have access to our friendly and knowledgeable security experts,” added Nikki.
