(Reuters) - GoDaddy Inc's quarterly results topped Wall Street expectations on Thursday, as the web hosting company earned more revenue per user, sending it shares up 5% in extended trade.
The world's largest domain registrar that manages about a fifth of all global web domains earned $158 per user in the quarter compared with analysts' average estimate of $157.8 per user, according to Refinitiv data.
GoDaddy also forecast full-year revenue of $3.32 billion, slightly higher than Wall Street expectations of $3.31 billion.

However, the company's first result for an entire quarter under its new chief executive officer, Aman Bhutani, saw costs rise 8.1% to $706.9 million.
