When I do my off the wall domain stats, I have been watching Godaddy spank the other domain name registrars and I make sure to write about it. A milestone has been reached, as Godaddy.com now controls over 25 Million domain names! To be exact with yesterday’s stats, 25,047,401 domain names!

The second closest registrar is eNom with 8,677,505. So by the numbers, Godaddy has nearly 3 x’s more domain names under control then the second leading domain registrar eNom. Very impressive. This also does not include the 3,042,733 domain names Godaddy’s sister company Wild West Domains also has under it’s management. Adding WWD’s domains gives a grand total of 28,090,134 domain names.

I really do not remember the last time that I learned anything or was able to purchase a domain for a "fair" price.

NamePros.com is pretty much the samething. Since NP is more of a "Newbie" forum, most likely because it’s free, I am able to help others on that forum but it doesn’t really help me all that much. Now I do like helping and that is one reason I still visit NP’s from time to time, but not even close to what I did before.
