GoDaddy offers an integrated suite of products for small business owners and entrepreneurs, ranging from domain names, hosting and website building, to email marketing, security protections and an online store.

GoDaddy also provides 24/7 local customer support to help guide customers in the growth of their venture, and to find the tools that best meet their needs.

"The BWF audience matches GoDaddy’s target audience – hard-working people pursuing their dreams," said Roger Chen, GoDaddy Senior Vice President APAC Region.

"GoDaddy’s integrated suite of online tools designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs can help them get online and grow their venture."

The deal was negotiated by BWF’s long-term commercial partner, Infront Sports and Media.
