Go Daddy’s Real Number: 225 Million
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
Registrar has 50 million domains on the books. But how about over time?
This past weekend Go Daddy topped the 50 million domain name mark.
This number is kind of like a balance sheet: it means the company has 50 million domain names currently registered with it.
But what about the longer view? I asked Go Daddy for some indication of how many domains it has registered over time.
Since it became a registrar, Go Daddy has registered more than 225 million years worth of domain names.
A domain registered for one year and then dropped is worth one year, if it’s renewed for a year then it becomes two years.
Impressive numbers.
That is pretty impressive given how many names are dropped after 1 year.
It would be interesting to see those numbers combined with their reseller division, Wild West Domains.
@ Batfan – that includes all of their brands including WWD.
