1 million domain name milestone — Dynadot eclipses

Domain name registrar hits key growth milestone.

Domain name registrar Dynadot has hit the one million domains under management milestone.

The firm was founded in 2002 and became ICANN-accredited the following year. It didn’t hire its first employee until 2006. Since then, it has grown to four offices (San Mateo, CA, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Toronto).

Dynadot is also a 50% female firm in an industry that is male-dominated.

Todd Han founded and bootstrapped the firm. It hasn’t taken any outside investment or debt, and Han doesn’t plan to sell the firm.

Listen to Han talk regarding the Dynadot story and what it’s like being a modest-to-mid-sized registrar in DNW Podcast #141.
