Go Daddy Ranked No. 92 Fastest Growing Technology Company in North America on the 2003 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 [21st October 2003]

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 21, 2003 – The Go Daddy Group, Inc. today announced that it ranked No. 92 on the 2003 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies – both public and private – in North America. Rankings are based on the average percentage revenue growth over five years, from 1998 to 2002. The Go Daddy Group grew 4,221 percent during this period.

Go Daddy’s Fast 500 ranking at No. 92 positions the company as the fastest growing
technology company in Arizona during the same five-year period among companies that were nominated, researched and eligible for the list.

Bob Parsons, Go Daddy president and founder, credits the company’s tenacity in
providing excellent customer service, highly competitive pricing, and an evolving line of Internet-related products and services with the company’s impressive revenue growth rate over the past five years. “We are relentless in our pursuit to deliver a high quality customer service experience,” said Parsons. “As we continue to grow the family of companies within The Go Daddy Group, our focus will remain on exceeding our customers’ expectations.”

“Attracting enough customers to maintain quadruple digit growth over five years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company’s product and its leadership,” said Mark A. Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. “The Go Daddy Group’s phenomenal growth puts it in select company.”

Overall, companies that ranked on the 2003 Technology Fast 500 had growth rates
ranging from 469 to 296,080 percent over five years.

Fast 500 Selection and Qualifications
The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte’s 20 regional North American Fast 50
programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500 and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 1998 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively; and 2002 operating revenues must be at least $1 million USD or CD. Deloitte researchers examined financial statements to validate operating revenues.

Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in North America. An entrant must be a “technology company,” defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies’ technology in a unique way does not qualify.
