GoDaddy Goes on the Block

GoDaddy.com, the world’s largest domain name registrar, put itself up for sale today, and according to a story in The Wall Street Journal, sources “familiar with the matter” believe the company could fetch more than $1 billion. CEO Bob Parsons has hired Frank Quattrone’s Qatalyst Partners to find a buyer–reportedly among private equity firms. The Web registrar had filed for an IPO in 2006, but it was quickly withdrawn.
