The story

Founded by Bob Parsons in 1997, in Phoenix.1

GoDaddy was founded in 1997 in Phoenix, Arizona, by entrepreneur Bob Parsons. Prior to founding GoDaddy, Parsons had sold his financial software services company, Parsons Technology, to Intuit for $65 million in 1994. He came out of his retirement in 1997 to launch Jomax Technologies, taking its name from a road in Phoenix, Arizona.

In 1999, a group of employees at Jomax Technologies was brainstorming a new company name, with "Big Daddy" being a popular suggestion. However, finding this domain name already taken, "Go Daddy" was purchased instead. Parsons believed this to be a simple and memorable name. Jomax Technologies rebranded to GoDaddy in February 2006.

By 2001, GoDaddy was approximately the same size as competitors Dotster and eNom. In April 2005, GoDaddy became the largest ICANN-accredited registrar on the Internet. GoDaddy received a strategic investment, in 2011, from private equity funds, KKR, Silver Lake, and Technology Crossover Ventures.

In 2017, GoDaddy acquired the security platform Sucuri. In April 2017, GoDaddy acquired the Host Europe Group, including firms 123 Reg (at that point the UK's largest domain name registrar, with more than 3 million names registered and 1.3 million websites hosted), Domain Factory, and Heart Internet, for 1.69 billion euros ($1.82 billion). In March 2018, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that GoDaddy was migrating the vast majority of its infrastructure to AWS as part of a multi-year transition.

In January 2020, GoDaddy unveiled a new logo with a simple, sans-serif type accompanied by a heart-shaped design that spells out "GO". In April 2021, the headquarters relocated from Scottsdale, Arizona to Tempe, Arizona.

As of 2024, GoDaddy serves mostly small businesses and companies.

In April 2026, GoDaddy partnered with Cloudflare to add AI Crawl Control which would allow site owners to decide how AI bot crawlers interact with their content.

Services

GoDaddy is an ICANN-accredited registrar. It has a 270,000-square-foot (25,000 m2) facility in Phoenix, Arizona. According to PeeringDB records, GoDaddy maintains two autonomous systems, among them are the AS-26496, reachable from six cities at nine public & private peering facilities.

Registry

In 2020, GoDaddy completed the acquisition of the domain registry services of Neustar and renamed the service "GoDaddy Registry". Initially, GoDaddy Registry operated the country code top-level domains.co and.us, and generic top-level domains such as.biz and.club.

On October 31, 2022, Robert Breker, the Senior Director of Engineering at GoDaddy, reported on Behind the Scenes information of GoDaddy's Webhosting Infrastructure referring to patterns focusing on customer satisfaction, single platform service, keeping Datacenter-grade hardware for all servers, and optimally using hardware.

As of January 2025, operating under the legal name "Registry Services, LLC", GoDaddy Registry operates the following top-level domains according to the IANA root database:. abogado,.beer,.biz,.blackfriday,.boston,.casa,.club,.compare,.cooking,.courses,.dds,.design,.fashion,.fishing,.fit,.garden,.gay,.health,.horse,.ink,.law,.luxe,.miami,.photo,.rodeo,.select,.study,.surf,.tattoo,.us,.vip,.vodka,.wedding,.wiki,.work,.yoga

Marketing

GoDaddy promotes itself through advertisements, particularly via TV and newspapers in the US, with frequent use of celebrity branding. Some of the endorsers include wrestler Candice Michelle, racecar driver Danica Patrick, motorcycle racer Valerie Thompson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Michael & Mario Andretti, James Hinchcliffe, Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard, pro-golfer Anna Rawson, Marina Orlova, Ella Koon, Leeann Dearing Natalia Velez, personal trainer Jillian Michaels, Chad Johnson, professional poker player Vanessa Rousso, Bar Refaeli, Jesse Heiman, comedienne Joan Rivers, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Walton Goggins.

Sports sponsorships

GoDaddy started advertising in the Super Bowl in 2005. Since then, the company has expanded its marketing to include sports sponsorships.

Also, GoDaddy was co-sponsor for ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 that was hosted in England and Wales.

Super Bowl advertisements

GoDaddy's 2007 Super Bowl XLI advertisement was criticized in the New York Times as being "cheesy"; in National Review as "raunchy, 'Girls-Gone-Wild' style"; and "just sad" by Barbara Lippert in Adweek, who gave the advertisement a "D" grade.

The 2008 Super Bowl XLII GoDaddy advertisement received a negative response from the press. Adweek's Barbara Lippert described it as a "poorly produced scene in a living room where people are gathered to watch the Super Bowl. As we watch them watch, a guy at his computer in the corner of the room drags the crowd over to GoDaddy.com to view the banned ad instead." Lippert also said, "it will probably produce a Pavlovian response in getting actual viewers in their own living rooms to do the same."

In 2009, GoDaddy purchased spots for two different commercials featuring GoDaddy Girl and IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick for Super Bowl XLIII. In "Shower", Danica takes a shower with Simona Fusco Stratten as three college students control the women's maneuvers from a computer. "Baseball" is a spoof of the steroids scandal. While "Shower" won GoDaddy's online vote, "Baseball" was the most popular of the Super Bowl. Both helped increase domain registrations by 110 percent above 2008 post-Super Bowl levels. GoDaddy posted Internet-only versions of its commercials during the game, which were extended versions containing more risque content. "Baseball" was the most watched Super Bowl commercial according to TiVo, Inc. According to Comscore, GoDaddy ranked first in advertiser Web site follow-through. Rob Goulding, head of business-to-business markets for Google, offered an in-depth analysis of Super Bowl spots that aired during Sunday's championship game. He said the most successful were multichannel-oriented, driving viewers to Web sites and "focusing on conversion as never before". GoDaddy experienced significant Web traffic and a strong "hangover" effect of viewer interest in the days that followed due to a provocative "teaser" advertisement pointing to the Web, Goulding said.

GoDaddy also advertised during the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV, purchasing two spots. The commercials "Spa" and "News" starred GoDaddy Girl and racecar driver Danica Patrick. In "Spa", Patrick is getting a lavish massage when the masseuse breaks into a spontaneous GoDaddy Girl audition. In "News", anchors conduct a 'gotcha' interview with GoDaddy Girl Danica Patrick about commercials known for being too hot for television. According to Akamai, there was a large spike in Internet traffic late in the fourth quarter of the game. This spike was tied to GoDaddy's "News" advertisement airing. CEO Bob Parsons said GoDaddy received "a tremendous surge in Web traffic, sustained the spike, converted new customers and shot overall sales off the chart".

In 2013, GoDaddy moved away from salacious advertising practices in an attempt to improve its brand image. In 2016, GoDaddy did not advertise during the Super Bowl for the first time in over a decade, but returned in 2017 with its "The Internet Wants You" campaign.

In 2025, GoDaddy returned to Super Bowl advertising for the first time in eight years with a commercial promoting its AI service Airo starring actor Walton Goggins.

IndyCar

In 2009 and 2010, GoDaddy advertised during the Indianapolis 500.

For the Las Vegas race in 2011, GoDaddy created a promotion wherein driver Dan Wheldon would have won $2.5m each for himself and fan Ann Babenco if he won the race, starting from last place. A 15-car pileup, 11 laps into the race, injured four drivers and killed Wheldon.

NASCAR

GoDaddy sponsored Brad Keselowski in the #25 for Hendrick Motorsports on a limited basis in the Sprint Cup series (owing to the "part-time rookie exemption" to a four-car limit). After a successful 2008 season, GoDaddy is expanding its 2009 NASCAR sponsorship with the JR Motorsports organization, sponsoring 20 Nationwide Series races as the primary sponsors, split between the #5 and #88 teams. The #88 deal gave Keselowski a full 35-race NASCAR Nationwide Series sponsorship for 2009 split with Delphi and Unilever. GoDaddy will also be the primary sponsor for seven races in the Sprint Cup Series with Keselowski driving. GoDaddy.com signed a one-year deal with Darlington Raceway to sponsor the 53rd Annual Rebel 500, the fifth-oldest race on the Sprint Cup circuit. Keselowski got his third Nationwide victory at Dover – his first in the #88 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet. In the same season, Keselowski scored a second Nationwide victory in the #88 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet at the first ever NASCAR race at Iowa Speedway and then at Michigan.

For 2010, the Hendrick/GoDaddy association continued; Danica Patrick drove a 12-race schedule in the #7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, while GoDaddy.com was also the primary sponsor for Mark Martin in the #5 Chevrolet Impala for most of the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

In 2012, Danica Patrick moved from the IndyCar Racing Series to race full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series in the #7 and part-time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in the #10 for Stewart Haas Racing where GoDaddy.com was the primary sponsor for the full season on both cars. After finishing 10th in the Nationwide Series standings with one pole award in 2012, Patrick moved to full-time in the Sprint Cup Series in 2013 where GoDaddy sponsored her full-season schedule. Patrick rewarded GoDaddy for its sponsorship by winning the pole for the 2013 Daytona 500, becoming the first woman to do so.

GoDaddy chose not to continue its sponsorship of NASCAR in 2016, intending to shift sponsorship to avenues with greater international reach. However, GoDaddy is trying to retain Patrick on a personal service contract.

GoDaddy Bowl

For the 2010 through 2015 college football seasons, GoDaddy was the sponsor of the GoDaddy Bowl, a postseason bowl game played in Mobile, Alabama, which was previously branded as the GMAC Bowl before GMAC took TARP funding in 2009. The game matched teams from the Sun Belt Conference and the Mid-American Conference. The bowl was renamed the Dollar General Bowl after the variety store chain Dollar General took over sponsorship in 2016.

Philanthropy

In 2009, GoDaddy donated $50,000 to the Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA in Arizona, despite the organization requesting only $1,000. In December 2009, at GoDaddy's annual Holiday Party, Executive Chairman and Founder Bob Parsons and Danica Patrick announced that GoDaddy would be donating $500,000 to the Phoenix-based UMOM New Day Center to fund the Danica Patrick GoDaddy.com Domestic Violence Center.

An order was placed with Orange County Choppers for a custom motorcycle to raise contributions for charity. This was documented by the reality show American Chopper.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks GoDaddy names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 58 risks under these headings, as written.18

  • Strategic Risks
  • If we are unable to continue to increase sales to new and existing customers, our business and operating results would be harmed.
  • If we do not successfully develop and market products that anticipate or respond timely to the needs of our customers, our business and operating results may suffer.
  • Our use, development, adoption, deployment and maintenance of AI and other new and evolving technologies may present significant risks, which could result in increased costs, litigation, reputational harm and liability.
  • Evolving technologies, including AI-based technologies, and changes in customer behavior and practices with respect to the internet may impact the demand for and value of our products and services.
  • We face significant competition for our products, which we expect will continue to intensify, and we may not be able to maintain or improve our competitive position or market share.
  • Our pricing decisions may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers.
  • The future growth of our business depends in part on increasing our international revenue. Our continued international presence could subject us to additional risks.
  • We have taken significant actions to support profitable growth. These actions may not succeed. If we do not effectively manage future growth, our operating results will be adversely affected.
  • Acquisitions and other strategic transactions, including investments or entries into new businesses, joint ventures, divestitures or other transactions, could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.
  • Our company's culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity, passion and teamwork that we believe contribute to our success and our business may be harmed.
  • Operational Risks
The other 48 risks
  • We are exposed to the risk of system failures and capacity constraints.
  • We rely on information technology systems, including third-party cloud computing systems, and data centers to deliver many of our products and services. These information technology systems and data centers may experience outages, disruptions or degradations, and we may otherwise lose access to the services third-party service providers provide to us, any of which could impact our services, products and technological infrastructure.
  • Enhancements or migration of information and data to new technology platforms, systems or applications may disrupt our operations or could expose us to a cyber attack or other cybersecurity incident which could delay or interrupt service to our customers, harm our reputation, cause us to incur substantial costs or subject us to significant liability.
  • We substantially rely upon AWS services to operate our integrated platform, and any disruption of or interference with our use of AWS would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • An actual or perceived cybersecurity incident could impair our ability to conduct business, provide our products and services, protect data, and comply with contractual or legal obligations, and may cause us to incur substantial costs, or subject us to significant liability.
  • If we experience fraudulent activity relating to our, or our third-party vendors' products and services, we could suffer service interruptions or incur substantial costs.
  • We rely on our marketing efforts and channels to maintain awareness of our brand and acquire new customers. These efforts may require significant expense and may not be successful.
  • Our ability to increase sales of our products is highly dependent on the quality of our customer care. Our failure to provide high-quality customer care would have an adverse effect on our business, brand and operating results.
  • A portion of our GoDaddy Guides is engaged through third parties and not directly by us.
  • If we are unable to maintain our contractual relationships with existing partners or establish new contractual relationships with potential partners, we may not be able to offer the products and related functionality our customers expect.
  • Our failure to properly register or maintain our customers' domain names or comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to domain name registration and maintenance could subject us to additional liability, regulatory action, expenses, claims of loss or negative publicity that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • We are dependent on the reliability, security and performance of our internally developed systems and operations. Any difficulties in maintaining these systems may result in damage to our brand, service interruptions, decreased customer service or increased expenditures.
  • Our business is exposed to risks associated with credit card and other payment chargebacks, fraud and new payment methods.
  • Our future performance depends in part on the services and performance of our senior management, as well as key employees. If we are unable to attract, motivate, and retain our employees, our business could suffer.
  • Financial Risks
  • Our quarterly and annual operating results and key metrics may be adversely affected due to a variety of factors, which could make our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below investor or analyst expectations.
  • We may not be able to maintain profitability in the future.
  • Because we are generally required to recognize revenue for our products over the term of the applicable agreement, changes in our sales may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.
  • Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
  • Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, our ability to operate our business and our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, as well as divert our cash flow from operations for debt payments and prevent us from meeting our debt obligations.
  • The agreements governing our indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities and making payments on our indebtedness.
  • We may need additional equity, debt or other financing in the future, which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms, or at all, and any additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders.
  • We may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes and the maturity of our Credit Facility may be accelerated upon a change of control triggering event.
  • Legal and Regulatory Risks
  • Laws, regulations, policies or claims concerning the domain name registration system and the internet in general, and industry reactions to those policies or claims, may cause instability in the industry and disrupt our business.
  • ICANN periodically authorizes the introduction of new TLDs. A delay in access to new TLDs could adversely impact our business, results of operations and reputation.
  • The relevant domain name registry and ICANN impose a charge upon each registrar for the administration of each domain name registration. If these fees increase, it would have a significant impact upon our operating results.
  • We are subject to local and international laws, rules, regulations, and orders relating to the operation and security of our computer network and the processing of data, including privacy of personal data.
  • We are subject to international laws, rules and regulations relating to content moderation.
  • Activities of customers or the content of their websites could damage our reputation and brand or harm our business and financial results.
  • Our business depends on our customers' continued and unimpeded access to the internet and the development and maintenance of internet infrastructure. Internet access providers may be able to block, degrade or charge for access to certain of our products, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of customers.
  • Our business could be affected by new laws, rules, regulations or court orders regarding the internet.
  • From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, which are expensive and time consuming and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Failure to adequately protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business and operating results.
  • We are involved in intellectual property claims and litigation asserted by third parties and may be subject to additional claims and litigation in the future, which could result in significant costs and substantial harm to our business and results of operations.
  • We may face liability or become involved in disputes over registration and transfer of domain names and control over websites.
  • Our use of open source technology could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our products.
  • We are subject to certain export controls, including economic and trade sanctions regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.
  • Due to the global nature of our business, we could be adversely affected by violations of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.
  • Changes in taxation laws, rules and regulations may discourage the registration or renewal of domain names for e-commerce.
  • Our payments-related operations, including GoDaddy Payments, are subject to various laws, regulations, and restrictions. Our failure to comply with such rules, regulations, and restrictions regarding our payments-related operations or properly manage the risks inherent to such operations could materially harm our business.
  • GoDaddy Payments' risk management efforts may not be effective, and we could be exposed to substantial losses and liability which could substantially harm our business.
  • Risks Related to Owning our Class A Common Stock
  • Our share price may be volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
  • Provisions of our charter, bylaws and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control of the company even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
  • Our bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial form for disputes with us.
  • We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our Class A common stock.
  • We cannot guarantee we will make any additional repurchases of our Class A common stock.
  • Economic conditions in the U.S. and international economies may adversely impact our business and operating results.
  • Reporting requirements for which we must comply may continue to increase our costs, become too time-consuming or could divert management's attention, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
  • If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our stock.

Legal proceedings

On June 7, 2022, IBEW Local Union 481 Defined Contribution Plan and Trust, a purported shareholder (IBEW), filed a shareholder derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against certain current and former officers and directors of the company and the company as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts claims of breach of fiduciary duty and corporate waste relating to the approval of certain settlement and release agreements the company entered into with respect to certain Tax Receivable Agreements (TRAs) entered into with its pre-IPO owners. The complaint seeks monetary damages and restitution from the defendants on behalf of the company, an order directing the company to implement changes to its corporate governance and internal procedures, and an award of attorneys' fees and costs. IBEW filed an amended complaint in lieu of opposing the company's initial motion on November 4, 2022. The company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 6, 2023; briefing was completed on April 27, 2023. On August 24, 2023, the court denied the company's motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On September 21, 2023, the company's board of directors resolved to form a Special Litigation Committee (the SLC) vested with the full authority of the board of directors, to take any such action with respect to the litigation that the SLC, in its sole discretion, deems to be in the best interests of the company. The SLC completed its investigation and concluded, in the exercise of its business judgment, that dismissal of the action with prejudice would be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. On December 13, 2024, the SLC moved to terminate the action. On September 4, 2025, the SLC filed its opening brief in support of its motion to terminate the action.
