Growing on Inc 5000 — GoDaddy Still

Domain registrar continues growth, lands on Inc 5000 again.

GoDaddy continues its growth, landing on the Inc 5000 again in 2010. As the firm gets bigger it makes it harder to turn in huge percentage growth numbers, but Inc notes 153% growth over the past three years.

The revenue number for 2009 was noted as $610.3 million. Earlier I had noted $750 million in 2009 revenue, but this was not a GAAP number. I’m talking to GoDaddy in the next couple weeks to get a better handle on their numbers of the past few years.

While there are other domain firms on the Inc 500 list, one traditional firm caught my eye: Tortuga Rum Cake. The firm turned in $4.8 million in revenue last year. I believe this is where Frank Schilling orders his Rum Cakes from that he delivers to lots of people over the holidays.
