GoDaddy was founded in 1997. This makes Go Daddy one of the longest operating domain registrars around. It is the largest ICANN-accredited registrar.
GoDaddy has over 30 million domains registered through them. The most recent study shows that is about 3 times the second largest registrar which has about 10 million domains.
That makes Go Daddy three times larger than their second closest competitor, quite impressive for an industry and a company that is just over 10 years old.
Customers
A decent barometer for determining a companies abilities is to look at their customer base. GoDaddy has over 7 million customers. They provide 24/7 live customer service. It is always a good sign when two things occur, first they have a large customer base and two they are a public company. Public companies need to file constantly and have an incentive to assure they treat their customers fairly. This is just a general statement, does not mean that non-public companies do not treat their customers well but public ones are definitely incentivized to keep their record as spotless as possible. Take it from 7 million customers.
