GoDaddy was sold in 2011 in a deal in which investment firms KKR, Silver Lake and Technology Crossover Ventures owned the majority share of the company. Bob Parsons stepped down as CEO at that time. In June 2014 the company filed its intent to go public with a $100 Million Initial Public Offering. Before spring 2020, GoDaddy had only sold domain names on behalf of registries, such as [[Verisign]] ([[.com]] and [[.net]]), [[Donuts]] ([[.ventures]] and [[.news]]), [[Google]] ([[.app]] and [[.new]]), and [[Neustar]] ([[.us]], [[.biz]], and [[.co]]). Then, in early April 2020, GoDaddy acquired Neustar's registry<ref>[https://domaininvesting.com/godaddy-acquires-neustar-gets-into-registry-business/ GoDaddy enters registry business]</ref> and subsequently renamed it "[[GoDaddy Registry]]."<ref>[https://registry.godaddy/blog/hello-godaddy-registry Hello from GoDaddy Registry]</ref>
