Already the world's largest Web domain-name provider, GoDaddy.com is still taking market share by more than the handful. Last month, the Scottsdale-based company added 1 million new domain names, a first according to industry experts. The company adds a new domain every 1.3 seconds, five times faster than five years ago, said GoDaddy founder and Chief Executive Bob Parsons. "I've heard people say all the good dot-com names are taken -- that's just not the case," he said. "The Web is just getting going. We've only scratched the surface." In the past five months, more than 12.8 million sites in the past five months, according to Internet industry analyst Netcraft Ltd. Last year's figures were 7.5 million during the same time frame. Pushing site sign-ups has been the increased presence of domain names using ".org", ".net" and ".info." At GoDaddy.com, ".info" domain names have had a major effect recently, pushing the company's total portfolio to more than 20 million, the company reported. |
