- GoDaddy Registry
Enterprise software
GoDaddy Registry is the wholesale arm and a distinct business unit of GoDaddy Inc., operating as one of the world's largest domain name registry providers. The entity was formed following GoDaddy's acquisition of Neustar's Registry business for $218 million, a deal announced in April 2020 and completed in August 2020. This acquisition marked GoDaddy's significant entry into the wholesale segment of the domain industry, complementing its long-standing retail registrar business. GoDaddy Registry manages the backend infrastructure for a wide array of top-level domains (TLDs). Its clients include sovereign nations, city governments, and global brands. The firm serves as the Registry Operator for prominent TLDs such as .co, .us, .biz, .nyc, and .tv, and provides the underlying technology for hundreds of other domain extensions, including those for specific brands and generic terms like .club and .earth. The business model is centered on providing these registry services to domain registrars, who then sell domain names to the public. GoDaddy has stated its commitment to maintaining strict independence between its registry (wholesale) and registrar (retail) operations to prevent conflicts of interest. Parsons, an entrepreneur who had previously sold a financial software company to Intuit for $64 million, used the capital to start the new venture. GoDaddy grew to become the world's largest ICANN-accredited registrar by 2005. In 2011, Parsons sold a majority stake to a consortium of private equity firms, including KKR and Silver Lake, and the company went public in 2015. The creation of GoDaddy Registry through the Neustar acquisition was a strategic expansion into vertical integration. The division is led by Nicolai Bezsonoff, who was the head of Neustar's Registry business prior to the acquisition.
