How Much Does GoDaddy Make With Expiring Auctions?
A lot!
Travis McKee
April 27, 2025
So how much does GoDaddy make with these expiring auctions anyway? A lot! But I don’t have an exact answer for multiple reasons. One, we don’t track every GoDaddy auction right now – we track everything in our list. Sometimes our list includes the other GoDaddy names at auction section and sometimes it is left out. Usually this is mainly one bid names, but there are definitely high dollar SEO names that fall into this category. And rarely, there is an issue with GoDaddy or the tracker itself and we miss some names. We plan on expanding the tracker to cover almost all GoDaddy names at some point, we just haven’t gotten around to it yet. So what I can provide is some dollar figures on what we do track with the caveat that some stuff is definitely missing. Here is March 2025 rounded to the nearest 1,000.
