A big milestone for the biggest domain name registrar.
The Go Daddy Group, which includes domain name registrar GoDaddy.com, is likely to cross the 50 million domain milestone next week.
The company hit 45 million domains registered just nine months ago in December.
The 50 million domains number represents the total number registered at a point in time. If you add up all the domains registered over time the number would be much higher.
As of the end of May GoDaddy.com had nearly 30 million .com domain names registered. (May is the latest month with actual data filed with ICANN.) That represents nearly a third of the .com base and more than three times as many as the nearest competitor, eNom.
Its share of newer top level domain names is even higher. In the same month GoDaddy.com had over 4 million .info domains registered out of a total of 7.4 million registered everywhere.
You can expect this number to jump when new top level domains are launched in a couple years.
They have 9 million customers.
The truth is they have good prices and good service.
“The truth is they have good prices”
They have terrible prices unless you use coupons. That means they are screwing all of their small customers that don’t know about GD coupons. So, they probably charge full prices to 8 million customers.
ie, .us $19.99 unless you use a coupon. And it still doesn’t bring it down to a fair price. I guess it cost them around $ 6.50-7.00
Parsons and company are saying ‘thank you’, ‘thank you’, ‘thank you’ all the way to the bank.
They are no better or no worse than most of the other registrars.
