Companies Using GoDaddy

We detect GoDaddy on 4,378,121 domains, including TP group, LIC, Norman Smile Center.

Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Construction (4.65%).

We detect 4,378,121 domains running GoDaddy across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 2,264,409 of them (51.7%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 58,661 domains carried a GoDaddy detection previously and no longer do.

GoDaddy holds 45.04% of the Web Hosting category, ranking #1. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to GoDaddy include Hostinger (12.26% market share), IONOS (6.56% market share), OVHcloud (4.39% market share), Bluehost (3.6% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 68.95% of the GoDaddy domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 2,264,409 matched companies, not of all 4,378,121 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (22.04%) and 51-200 employees (6.03%).

Among the GoDaddy domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the 2010s (41.15%), followed by the 2020s (24.58%).
