GoDaddy Inc. is one of the world’s largest internet services companies focused on helping individuals, entrepreneurs, and small businesses establish and grow their online presence. The company was founded in 1997 by entrepreneur Bob Parsons, originally under the name Jomax Technologies. It adopted the GoDaddy name in 1999 and became an ICANN-accredited domain registrar in 2000. Today, GoDaddy is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GDDY, with its headquarters in Tempe, Arizona.
GoDaddy is best known as a domain name registrar, but its business has expanded considerably beyond domain registration. The company currently serves approximately 20.5 million customers and manages more than 80 million domain names worldwide. It employs nearly 6,000 people globally. GoDaddy primarily targets entrepreneurs, freelancers, microbusinesses, small companies, e-commerce merchants, and organizations that need straightforward tools for establishing and managing a digital presence.
Its core services include domain registration and transfers, domain auctions and aftermarket services, website hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS hosting, SSL certificates, professional email, Microsoft 365 services, and website-building tools. GoDaddy also provides digital marketing tools, SEO services, logo creation, online stores, payment processing, invoicing, payment links, point-of-sale systems, and other tools designed to help businesses attract and manage customers.
Artificial intelligence has become an increasingly important part of GoDaddy's strategy. Its GoDaddy Airo platform uses AI to help entrepreneurs create websites, generate logos, establish their brands, create marketing content, and build their online presence more quickly. GoDaddy is positioning Airo as an intelligent business platform rather than simply a website-building tool. By the second quarter of 2026, Airo had reached an annualized bookings run rate of approximately $50 million, five times the level reported only one quarter earlier.
GoDaddy operates largely through recurring subscriptions and renewals for domains, hosting, websites, email, security, and business applications, supplemented by domain aftermarket and commerce-related revenue. This recurring model gives the company a relatively predictable revenue base. In 2025, GoDaddy generated approximately $4.95 billion in revenue. During the second quarter of 2026 alone, revenue reached $1.298 billion, representing growth of 6.6% year over year. The company reported 2026 full-year revenue guidance of approximately $5.215–$5.255 billion.
GoDaddy is currently led by CEO Aman Bhutani, who joined the company as chief executive in 2019 after holding senior leadership positions at Expedia. Under his leadership, GoDaddy has increasingly focused on AI, integrated commerce, higher-value business applications, profitability, and providing an all-in-one digital platform for small businesses.
