GoDaddy initially set its cloud on cloudstack, so this migration will significantly enhance the OpenStack ecosystem, OpenStack chief operating officer Mark Collier said in a statement:

"GoDaddy will make its 12 million users aware of the benefits of their applications running in open cloud technology ... Service providers offer a wide range of competitive OpenStack solutions that provide a solid foundation for the OpenStack open platform that creates far-reaching impact in the public and private cloud sectors.
