GoDaddy clients have registered 850k fresh TLDs

GoDaddy leads the way for fresh domain names.

On GoDaddy’s investor conference call this stretch, the firm disclosed that its clients have registered 850,000 names in fresh top level domains. That’s over the course of regarding 18 months of availability.

GoDaddy clients have registered more fresh top level domain names with it than at any competing registrar, which shouldn’t come as a surprise for two reasons.

First, GoDaddy registers the most domains overall. You’d expect it to be number one.

Second, the firm has done a good job of mixing relevant fresh extensions into its search results.

Also on the call, the firm stated that revenue from its buyout of Marchex’s domain name portfolio last quarter has been immaterial. This isn’t surprising given the firm’s size.
