Everyone knows GoDaddy. While the internet domain registrar isn’t in the same league as a Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Apple, they certainly have made a name for themselves. They recognized early on that registering domains wasn’t exactly an interesting or sexy service, so they went heavy on large-scale promotions and have successfully become a powerhouse in their field.
So just how successful has GoDaddy become? This week, I put my expert-level Google skills to work and dug up a few stats. Here are a few of the more interesting GoDaddy statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from GoDaddy’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
