Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Background	Organization and Background Organization We are the sole managing member of Desert Newco, and as a result, we consolidate its financial results and report non-controlling interests representing the economic interests held by its other members. The calculation of non-controlling interests excludes any net income attributable directly to GoDaddy Inc. As of June 30, 2021, we owned approximately 99.8% of Desert Newco. Basis of Presentation Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the 2020 Form 10-K). Prior Period Reclassifications Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Use of Estimates GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in our financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ. Segment As of June 30, 2021, our chief operating decision maker was our Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance for the entire company. Accordingly, we have a single operating and reportable segment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Assets Recognized from Contract Costs Fees paid to various registries at the inception of a domain registration or renewal represent costs to fulfill a contract. We capitalize and amortize these prepaid domain name registry fees to cost of revenue consistent with the pattern of transfer of the product to which the asset relates. Amortization expense of such asset was $167.7 million and $162.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and was $328.6 million and $320.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth our material assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis: June 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds and time deposits $ 539.1 $ — $ — $ 539.1 Derivative assets — 17.7 — 17.7 Total assets $ 539.1 $ 17.7 $ — $ 556.8 Liabilities: Derivative liabilities $ — $ 158.0 $ — $ 158.0 Total liabilities $ — $ 158.0 $ — $ 158.0 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 98.0 $ — $ — $ 98.0 Total assets $ 98.0 $ — $ — $ 98.0 Liabilities: Derivative liabilities $ — $ 216.4 $ — $ 216.4 Total liabilities $ — $ 216.4 $ — $ 216.4 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance providing temporary optional expedients and exceptions related to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate our contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR.

The acquisition agreements also call for $45.0 million in additional compensatory cash payments subject to certain performance and employment conditions over the three The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. The recognition of goodwill, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes, was made based on strategic benefits we expect to realize from the acquisition. During the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from closing, we will continue to obtain information, primarily related to income taxes, to assist us in finalizing the acquisition date fair values. Any qualifying changes to our preliminary estimates will be recorded as adjustments to the respective assets and liabilities, with any residual amounts allocated to goodwill.

Credit Facility As described in our 2020 Form 10-K, our secured credit agreement (the Credit Facility) includes two tranches of term loans (the 2024 Term Loans and the 2027 Term Loans) and a revolving credit facility (the Revolver). A portion of the term loans is hedged by interest rate swap arrangements, as discussed in Note 10. In March 2021, we refinanced the 2027 Term Loans to lower the interest rate margins by 0.5% with no changes made to the maturity date or any other terms. Following this refinancing, the 2027 Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum or (b) 1.0% per annum plus the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. Fees incurred in connection with the refinancing were not material. As of June 30, 2021, we had $600.0 million available for borrowing under the Revolver and were not in violation of any covenants of the Credit Facility. Senior Notes In February 2021, we issued the 2029 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $800.0 million in a private placement offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes were retained for general corporate purposes. The 2029 Senior Notes were issued at par and bear interest at 3.5% per annum, payable annually on March 1 and September 1, commencing on September 1, 2021. The aggregate principal is payable at maturity, subject to earlier to earlier repurchase or optional redemption as described below. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, we capitalized $9.0 million in debt issuance costs. The 2029 Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, any time prior to March 1, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus an applicable premium equal to the greater of 1.0% or the remaining scheduled payments of interest discounted to a present value amount. In the event of an equity offering prior to March 1, 2024, the 2029 Senior Notes may be partially redeemed with the net cash proceeds of such offering at our option at an amount equal to 103.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On and after March 1, 2024, we may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at an amount equal to 101.75% of the principal amount, increasing to 101.875% as of March 1, 2025, and decreasing to 100.0% as of March 1, 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, we are required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes from the holders at a price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Significant terms of the 2029 Senior Notes are as follows: • they are subordinated to our existing secured debt, including the Credit Facility, and any future secured debt we may issue; • all obligations are unconditionally guaranteed by all of our material domestic subsidiaries; • we are restricted by certain covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens, consolidate with or merge with or into another entity and sell substantially all of our assets; and • certain covenants may be suspended if we are able to obtain and maintain investment grade ratings and no event of default has occurred. As of June 30, 2021, we were not in violation of any covenants of the 2027 Senior Notes or the 2029 Senior Notes. Fair Value The estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments are based on observable market prices for these loans, which are traded in less active markets and therefore classified as Level 2 fair value measurements, and were as follows as of June 30, 2021: 2024 Term Loans $ 1,782.6 2027 Term Loans $ 738.3 2027 Senior Notes $ 631.4 2029 Senior Notes $ 797.4 Future Debt Maturities Aggregate principal payments, exclusive of any unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs, due on long-term debt as of June 30, 2021 are as follows: Year Ending December 31: 2021 (remainder of) $ 16.3 2022 32.5 2023 32.5 2024 1,740.0 2025 7.5 Thereafter 2,108.6 $ 3,937.4

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging	Derivatives and Hedging We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily relating to intercompany debt and certain forecasted sales transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, as well as to changes in interest rates as a result of our variable-rate debt. Consequently, we use derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate such risk. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. We utilize a variety of derivative instruments, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges, including: • foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain forecasted sales transactions denominated in foreign currency, all of which had maturities of 18 months or less as of June 30, 2021; • a cross-currency swap arrangement used to manage variability due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to a Euro-denominated intercompany loan; and • pay-fixed rate, receive-floating rate interest rate swap arrangements to effectively convert portions of our variable-rate debt to fixed.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation From time-to-time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property claims, putative and certified class actions, commercial and consumer protection claims, labor and employment claims, breach of contract claims and other asserted and unasserted claims. We investigate claims as they arise and accrue estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. On June 13, 2019, we entered into an agreement in principle to settle the class action complaint, Jason Bennett v. GoDaddy.com (Case No. 2:16-cv-03908-DLR) (D.Ariz.), filed on June 20, 2016. The complaint alleges violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (the TCPA). On September 23, 2019, the parties fully executed a written settlement agreement. On December 16, 2019, we amended the settlement agreement to include two additional putative class action cases, which also alleged violations of the TCPA: John Herrick v. GoDaddy.com, LLC (Case No. 2:16-cv-00254 (D. Ariz.), appeal pending 18-16048 (9th Cir.)) and Susan Drazen v. GoDaddy.com, LLC (Case No 19-cv-00563) (S.D. Ala.). In 2019, we recorded an $18.1 million charge to general and administrative expense, representing our original estimated loss provision for this settlement. Under the terms of the final settlement agreement, we made available a total of up to $35.0 million to pay: (i) class members, at their election, either a cash settlement or a credit to be used for future purchases of products from us; (ii) an incentive payment to the class representatives; (iii) notice and administration costs in connection with the settlement; and (iv) attorneys' fees to legal counsel representing the class. On April 22, 2020, the parties filed statements in response to a request from the S.D. Ala. Court (the Court) to refine the class definition, resulting in a reduction in the total number of class members from the original estimated class. On May 14, 2020, the Court granted approval of the plaintiffs' unopposed motion for preliminary certification of the settlement class, subject to the parties' execution of an amended settlement agreement to remove John Herrick as a class representative. The parties executed such amendment on May 26, 2020, and on June 9, 2020, the Court granted preliminary approval of the final settlement agreement. The Court's order also set October 7, 2020 as the deadline for class members to submit claims and December 14, 2020 as the hearing date regarding final approval of the settlement. On September 1, 2020, the Court issued an amended order reducing the attorneys' fees to be paid to legal counsel representing the class. Additionally, the actual number of claims made by class members through the October 7, 2020 deadline was lower than our original estimates. On December 23, 2020, the Court issued a final judgment and order approving the class settlement, which further reduced the attorneys' fees to be paid to legal counsel representing the class and denied the plaintiffs' request for an incentive payment. Additionally, the actual notice and administration costs were lower than originally estimated. As a result of the above developments, during 2020, we recorded a cumulative $10.0 million reduction to general and administrative expense, lowering our estimated loss provision for this settlement to $8.1 million as of December 31, 2020. On January 19, 2021, a single objector to the settlement filed a notice of appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which remains pending as of the date of this filing. We made no changes to our estimated loss provision for this settlement during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021. The timing of any settlement payments is pending resolution of the appeal. We have denied and continue to deny the allegations in the complaint. Nothing in the final settlement agreement shall be deemed to assign or reflect any admission of fault, wrongdoing or liability, or of the appropriateness of a class action in such litigation. We received a full release from the settlement class concerning the claims asserted, or that could have been asserted, with respect to the claims released in the final settlement agreement. Our legal fees associated with this matter have been recorded to general and administrative expense as incurred and were not material. The amounts currently accrued for other matters are not material. While the results of such normal course claims and legal proceedings, regardless of the underlying nature of the claims, cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe, based on current knowledge and the likely timing of resolution of various matters, any additional reasonably possible potential losses above the amounts accrued for such matters would be material. Regardless of the outcome, claims and legal proceedings may have an adverse effect on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. We may also receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained. The final outcome of any current or future claims or lawsuits could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Indirect Taxes We are subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject communications and commerce conducted over the Internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in the U.S. and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us in the future. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the businesses of our customers. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generate based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable, industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. We may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to our indirect tax estimates. We continually evaluate those jurisdictions in which nexus exists, and believe we maintain adequate indirect tax accruals.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes We are subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Desert Newco, as well as any stand-alone income or loss we generate. Desert Newco is treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes, and for most applicable state and local income tax purposes, and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, Desert Newco's taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including us. Despite its partnership treatment, Desert Newco is liable for income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it operates, in those states not recognizing its pass-through status and for certain of its subsidiaries not taxed as pass-through entities. We have acquired the outstanding stock of various domestic and foreign entities taxed as corporations, which are now wholly-owned by us or our subsidiaries. Where required or allowed, these subsidiaries also file and pay tax as a consolidated group for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and internationally, primarily within the United Kingdom, Germany and India. We anticipate this structure to remain in existence for the foreseeable future. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances based on current year earnings and the impact of foreign earnings primarily related to the United Kingdom, Germany and India jurisdictions. On March 11, 2021, the U.S. federal government enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which did not have a material impact on our provision for income taxes. On June 10, 2021, the United Kingdom enacted legislation increasing its corporate income tax rate to 25%, beginning in April 2023. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we remeasured certain deferred tax assets (DTAs) and liabilities at the new rate and recorded a charge of $4.0 million within our provision for income taxes. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, we prepare quarterly estimates using historical and forecasted future operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. Based primarily on the negative evidence outweighing the positive evidence as of June 30, 2021, including our three year cumulative GAAP loss, our historical tax losses and the difficulty in forecasting excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, we believe there is uncertainty as to when we will be able to utilize certain of our NOLs, credit carryforwards and other DTAs. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against the DTAs for which we have concluded it is more-likely-than-not they will not be realized. Should our operating results continue to improve and projections show continued utilization of the tax attributes, we would consider that as significant positive evidence and our future reassessment would likely result in the determination that a valuation allowance is no longer required. We believe sufficient positive evidence may arise in 2021 such that we would release substantially all of the federal and state valuation allowance. If this were to occur, it would result in a reversal of substantially all of the valuation allowance with a corresponding non-cash income tax benefit, thereby increasing total DTAs. Uncertain Tax Positions The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $63.6 million as of June 30, 2021, of which $26.1 million, if fully recognized, would decrease our effective tax rate. Although we believe the amounts reflected in our tax returns substantially comply with applicable U.S. federal, state and foreign tax regulations, the respective taxing authorities may take contrary positions based on their interpretation of the law. A tax position successfully challenged by a taxing authority could result in an adjustment to our provision or benefit for income taxes in the period in which a final determination is made.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income (Loss) Per Share	Income (Loss) Per Share Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to GoDaddy Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares unless their effect is antidilutive. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 46.9 $ (673.2) $ 57.7 $ (630.0) Less: net income attributable to non-controlling interests 0.1 — 0.1 0.3 Net income (loss) attributable to GoDaddy Inc. $ 46.8 $ (673.2) $ 57.6 $ (630.3) Denominator: Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding—basic 168,204 165,845 168,816 169,479 Effect of dilutive securities: Class B common stock 404 — 494 — Stock options 1,272 — 1,326 — RSUs, PSUs and ESPP shares 1,249 — 1,752 — Weighted-average shares of Class A Common stock outstanding—diluted 171,129 165,845 172,388 169,479 Net income (loss) attributable to GoDaddy Inc. per share of Class A common stock—basic $ 0.28 $ (4.06) $ 0.34 $ (3.72) Net income (loss) attributable to GoDaddy Inc. per share of Class A common stock—diluted (1) : $ 0.27 $ (4.06) $ 0.33 $ (3.72) _________________________________ (1) The diluted income (loss) per share calculations exclude net income attributable to non-controlling interests. The following number of weighted-average potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Class B common stock — 1,234 — 1,297 Stock options 500 3,505 536 4,078 RSUs, PSUs and ESPP shares 1,018 1,590 760 1,586 1,518 6,329 1,296 6,961 Shares of Class B common stock do not share in our earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of income (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Each share of Class B common stock (together with a corresponding LLC Unit) is exchangeable for one share of Class A common stock.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the 2020 Form 10-K).
Prior Period Reclassification	Prior Period Reclassifications Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in our financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and adjust prospectively, if necessary. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ.
Segment	Segment As of June 30, 2021, our chief operating decision maker was our Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance for the entire company. Accordingly, we have a single operating and reportable segment.
Assets Recognized from Contract Costs	Assets Recognized from Contract CostsFees paid to various registries at the inception of a domain registration or renewal represent costs to fulfill a contract. We capitalize and amortize these prepaid domain name registry fees to cost of revenue consistent with the pattern of transfer of the product to which the asset relates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance providing temporary optional expedients and exceptions related to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate our contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR.
