Dynadot is a domain registrar that is a preferred choice for numerous domain investors. I have been using Dynadot’s aftermarket and now have nearly three dozen non-.com domain names registered there. The Dynadot registrar platform is very fast, and it offers investor-focused features in an easy to use user interface. The registrar is now home to a reported 6 million domain names, and the company employs 150 people.
Todd Han, CEO of Dynadot, shared a chart showing the growth of the company since its founding in 2002:

In addition to sharing this information, Todd also answered questions from people who responded to his chart on X.
On a recent Domain Sherpa show, Andrew Rosener asked about Dynadot’s employee headcount of 150. Todd responded by sharing a spreadsheet listing what its 77 engineers work on:

It looks like Dynadot’s focus is on offering domain investors the tools they need to manage their portfolios, and that has been paying off. The company has been embracing AI advancements to work faster rather than trim headcount.
I appreciate Todd for sharing this information.
