Remember Ray King…? What about AboutUs…? Yeah. That’s a deep cut. From way back. And while Ray may not be as prevalent in the startup community as he once was, his current startup pursuit is going exceptionally well: Porkbun now manages more than 4 million domain names.
Those 4 million domains are held across roughly 750,000 active customers at roughly five domains each. A whole lot of individual people — quite possibly including you — picking up a handful of names and actually putting them to use.
Porkbun is an amazingly awesome ICANN accredited domain name registrar based out of the Pacific Northwest. It offers a refreshingly easy and affordable approach to domain registration, as well as web and email hosting. Porkbun was the first registrar to offer free SSL Certificates via Let’s Encrypt and is widely recognized for its value-driven and security-first offerings, backed by live, human customer support 365 days a year via phone and chat, and 24/7 email coverage.
After taking seven years to reach its first million domains, Porkbun added its second million in two years, its third in roughly 15 months, and its fourth in under a year.
“Every million comes faster than the last, and that’s because our customers keep telling their friends,” said Ray. “We celebrate each million not because it’s a big number, but because it’s real: developers and small businesses actually using their domains.”
