2 Days Loss From Transfers Out Of Godaddy.com: 37,000

Seriously misleading title.<p>GoDaddy, with 50,000,000 domains, has lost almost nothing, about 1000 domains, when you factor in new registrations and new transfer-ins.<p>We would need the historical records to see more into this.<p>Hell, it might even look like their registrations and transfer-ins are up due to being in the news.<p>I seriously doubt that GoDaddy gives a shit about this.<p>Their domain business is a complete "loss leader" operation that costs them about a dollar of loss on each domain they sell.<p>Hosting accounts is where it counts the most for them and I can tell you few, if any, people will be transferring hosting accounts out as it's a complete pain in the ass.

Looks like GoDaddy didn't actually withdraw their SOPA support: <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/npair/godaddy_has_not_withdrawn_its_official/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/npair/godaddy_ha...</a>

This is surely just tracking nameserver records (pointing to the Go Daddy domaincontrol.com domain), the actual number of domains transferred in or out may be higher.

1. And their typical daily transfer-out rate is...<p>2. It'd be interesting to see where these domains went? Namecheap, Gandi, etc.

Not a very useful statistic considering they must process thousands of transfers a day due to regular business activity. A better stat might be % increase or at least the number of transfers above the average. Admittedly, that would make for a far less catchy blog post.

Whether 37,000 is a big number or not: Kudos to the community for making themselves heard.<p>However, godaddy is a pimple on the economy. Somehow, someway, this kind of activity needs to be multiplied 1000x.

Ok.. This is either just way off or I'm not reading this correctly. They had nearly as many transferred in than transferred out yesterday.<p>Transfered In (20,034) Transferred Out (21,054)<p>1020 domains is nothing particularly comparing it to the total pointed there: 32,159,050

if I interpreted the source of the article correctly, then the article makes a big mistake, they count the domains that change from godaddies nameservers. If you don't host with godaddy it wouldn't show in the statistics. Check the link to which the article refers.

in domains not dollars.

how long until they realize that it's not spelled reditt?
