With over 5 million hosted domains and 28.4 million domains under management, GoDaddy is the largest domain name registrar in the world. Founded by Bob Parsons in 1997, GoDaddy offers domain registrations, hosting solutions, personalised email services, and ecommerce software. GoDaddy is the flagship company of The GoDaddy Group, Inc. and although it’s best known for the GoDaddy brand, including the ‘GoDaddy Girls’ and IndyCar racing star Danica Patrick, the group also operates a number of other domains and website hosting companies; including Wild West Domains, Domains by Proxy, Blue Razor Domains, and Starfield Technologies. GoDaddy has been leading the domains industry for over 14 years and in that time has faced some stiff competition. The likes of HostGator, 1and1, and 123-Reg have all challenged GoDaddy to be the world’s largest domains registrar; a title which GoDaddy has successfully defended. GoDaddy’s competitively-priced products and great customer service has earned it a number of prestigious awards, including; a place on the “Inc. 500/5000” 2011 list for the 8th year in a row, SC Magazine Awards 2011: Best Security Team, 2011 Finalist, Better Business Bureau of Greater Arizona Business Ethics Awards, and NetApp 2011 Innovation Awards: Innovator of the Year, to name a few.
