GoDaddy Tops Registrar Ranking
NetSol officials downplayed the new ranking, stating a better measure of a registrar is in the quality of its business, not the quantity of its customer base. Susan Wade, a NetSol spokeswoman, said 40 percent of its new hosting business comes from new customers. The hosting service, which provides free domain name registration, storage and 24/7 live customer support, was launched by the company last month.
"We're more interested in actually getting our customers up and online," she said. "I can't tell you how many domains are out there that have no active Web site, and so what our customers want is help activating [those domains]."
NetSol had a good head start on the competition, however, and has maintained its lead until today's announcement. It marks a new era for GoDaddy.com -- a company that sold its first domain name registration in November 2000 -- and the registrar industry, said Jay Westerdal, Name Intelligence CEO.
"GoDaddy.com's rise to the pre-eminent domain name registrar -- initially in new domain registrations, and now in domains under management -- is a watershed event in the history of the domain name industry," he said in a statement.
