GoDaddy will implement new information-security programs to settle charges that the technology platform failed to secure its website-hosting services and protect its customers from attacks, the Federal Trade Commission said.

The FTC ordered GoDaddy to improve its online security measures on behalf of small-business customers. The Tempe-based company said it already does so.

Despite its size and complexity, FTC complained that the company had failed multiple security standards that needed to be fixed immediately.

Internet registrar and web host GoDaddy agreed to two decades worth of third-party assessments over its cybersecurity practices in a settlement with the U.S. FTC.
