Who is the largest Domain Name Registrar?

In a word (or two): Go Daddy. By Far.

According to webhosting.info, Go Daddy is blowing the competition out of the water. As of March 2008, 23.4% of all domain name registrations are done through Go Daddy, with another 3% through Go Daddy owned Wild West Domains.

Web hosting.info has this handy little chart:

Pretty impressive for a company that, just a few years ago, nearly went bankrupt as founder Bob Parsons bet his personal fortune on the company’s success.

I personally own about 200 domain names, and all are registered through Go Daddy. Here’s a tip for anyone looking to register a name: Use coupon code AMAZON2 to save a few bucks on registration. And if you’re looking for quality web hosting, drop me a line.
