Stockpickr: Picking at Domain-Name Stocks

Stock quotes in this article: CY , VRSN , GOOG , MCHX  

GoDaddy.com is one of the biggest registrars of domain names out there. You can catch its Super Bowl commercials every year during the game. The company recently filed to go public, but was making so much cash that it decided not to. However, Google(GOOG Quote) recently signed a deal with the company to resell domain names to small businesses through GoDaddy.com. This further cements Google's symbiotic relationship with its small-business customers, and will allow it to resell advertising services, Gmail and even the so-called "Google Office" that is starting to come together.

Marchex(MCHX Quote) was started by Go2Net founder and former CEO Russ Horowitz. Marchex owns more than 200,000 domain names, including the domains for every ZIP code in the country. The stock trades just slightly over 10 times cash flows and had year-over-year revenue growth of 26% last quarter.
