Y Combinator Companies Pick Go Daddy for Domains, Google for Email
Go Daddy and Google popular among Y Combinator companies.
Where do Y Combinator’s startups register their domains and host email? Here’s a handy chart generated in August using domain-profiler.
Go Daddy dominates the domain registration business for Y Combinator startups, according to the chart. Go Daddy also has a large share of the SSL market. On the email side, most of the startups are fans of Google.
When it comes to web hosting, a good number rely on Amazon’s backbone, and SoftLayer and Slicehost also have a good share of the business.
Another thing you might notice by looking at the list is that many of Y Combinator’s startups are customers of Bad Web Site Naming, Inc. From webmynd.com to wundrbar.com to bountii.com, perhaps Y Combinator needs to offer some more advice on name selection.
