1&1 Internet has hosted the largest number of websites each month since industry-analyst Netcraft began tracking the number in early 2003.  GoDaddy.com knocked the German-based web host out of the number 1 spot this month thanks to a net increase of over a quarter of a million additional hostnames. 

Some may question the controversial nature of the television ads that GoDaddy.com has run during the past couple of Super Bowls, but nobody can argue with the results:  the company has almost doubled the number of hostnames in the past year.

ICANN accredited GoDaddy.com is the No. 1 registrar of net new domains and provider of complementary software products and services. Other companies within The Go Daddy Group, Inc. family include Starfield Technologies, Inc., developer of software systems and services; Wild West Domains, Inc., ICANN ccredited reseller provider; and Domains By Proxy, a private registration service
