“GoDaddy is in an environment where it’s never been more important to take an idea, get it online and, through an integrated toolset and experience, enable that idea to grow and thrive,” said GoDaddy CEO Scott Wagner.

For the full year 2018, GoDaddy raised its revenue expectations to a range of $2.655 billion to $2.660 billion, representing approx. 19% growth at the midpoint.
