After 2 years of being Godaddy reseller, I've got this as a thank you for all of the work you have done for us:

Citation from godaddy web site:
https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/priv...amp;from%5Fapp=

"Non-ICANN accredited registrars: Only an ICANN accredited registrar gives you the assurance of knowing your domains will be handled by the most secure and reliable systems in the industry. Go Daddy communicates directly to the Domain Name Registries through the fastest connections to the Internet backbone available. Non-ICANN accredited registrars cannot give you this assurance. So look for the ICANN-accredited icon. You'll see it at Go Daddy."

I was shocked; so this is how they like their resellers who actually bring them millions of $$$ ?


I suggest you look at least to a http://www.whois.sc/domain-resellers/
where they tell you the truth:
"Resellers can often give better customer service then Regular Registrars. They make deals with wholesale registrars so they can provide all the services of a registrar and provide the service level you want. Price of domains doesn't include extra services they may also bundle with the domain. So please check out all the resellers. We feel that domain resellers are under represented in the domain industry, so here is an exhausive list of all known domain resellers we know of."

Do not forget that /wildwestdomains.com = godaddy .com and stay away from these bitches.

Further evidence to go with a real reseller plan like opensrs and enom.

GoDaddy really isnt a reseller registrar in my mind. Their pricing is far too competitive to leave a reseller close to comfort.

Godaddy is a new monopoly coming to all of us if we remove NetSol/Verisign. I would prefer Verisign with their conservatism istead of godaddy with their bitch strategy. Let's ban godaddy everywhere!

The difference is netsol was THE ONLY shop in town for years and accumulated their size based on that. With godaddy they have built their base by advertising/growth. The same way they have grown they can/will shrink in time if they take a cavalier or carefree attitude with their clients and resellers. As the adage goes, "the bigger they are the harder they fall".
