Well it is a go daddy reseller so you mean a review of go daddy?

Wild West Domains is a part of the GoDaddy Group, and we do offer the same services and products, although GoDaddy will offer them, and special offers, first and test the market. For instance, GoDaddy is now offering Domain Name Appraisals. This is a new offer that Wild West Resellers will probably get, but only after GoDaddy has offered it and been able to evaluate it.

Even though Wild West Domains is reselling the same things that Go Daddy already offers, Wild West Domains is a seperate entity from GoDaddy and Wild West Domains is itself an ICANN Accredited Registrar (seperate from GoDaddy's ICANN Accredation).

Starfield Technologies is also a part of the GoDaddy group and not only programs the GoDaddy and Wild West Reseller websites, but also develops the software and online tools which GoDaddy and Wild West Domains offer. And this is some great stuff, I might add (as I use it).

Now, to make it a little more clear, GoDaddy supposedly only sells products and services via retail, though I have heard of an affiliate program called Blue Razor or something. Wild West Domains only sells products and services through resellers such as myself, allowing them to choose the product line and set the prices (within reasonable guidelines).

Domain Hostmaster was established in January of 2003, originally as SD Website Domains. Although this name is still active, we were having marketing problems with SDWebsiteDomains.com, so over a year we slowly changed our name to Domain Hostmaster using the address of DomainHostmaster.com.

The WWD reseller site, Domain Hostmaster, is actually a divison of Symbiotic Design which was founded as an Internet Technologies Design and Development company in May of 1997. The WWD instant reseller we use at DomainHostmaster.com matched perfectly with our current line of services, allowing us to enhance our service and product lines with solutions geared specifically for our budget minded clientele that just wanted an online site builder instead of having us design/develop a site for them, did not require advanced SEO, or did not require an advanced web hosting network.

Domain Hostmaster is also an example of the instant reseller store we resell for Wild West Domains for almost $10.00/year less at http://w3DN.com (W3 Domain Names). Although, we do try to keep our pricing at the lowest level possible, others may chose more expensive pricing to compensate for their advertising and marketing efforts.

I hope that clears up any confussion created by my description or possibly the website. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them or call me at the office number posted on the homepage at http://www.DomainHostmaster.com

Thanks! -Doug Peters

Excellent Domain Registrar & Host!

Aside from a couple of cross-selling pages that appear before your shopping cart shows up (unless you select the quick checkout option), the shopping interface is excellent and the Domain Management interface is feature rich. Domain Hostmaster includes Total DNS Control and you can even setup your own Name Servers as long as you have them setup properly on your server. The Domain Manager allows locking/unlocking domains, domain groups to easily categorize your names, easy domain name search tools and Account Execs. Account Execs can manage domains with only the priviledges you allow (such as only being able to set the name servers), helping you to protect your intellectual property from less experienced individuals.

Web hosting is excellent with great prices and performance. Storage and bandwidth is plentiful and there is a 99.9% uptime guarantee. I have been using the Linux web hosting plans, though Windows web hosting plans are also available. Domain Hostmaster also offers virtual and dedicated servers (on Linux or Windows). DH employs best-of-breed hosting equipment.

There is also a wealth of site and e-commerce software tools available from Domain Hostmaster. These include site builders, SSL Certificates, shopping Quick Carts, Merchant Accounts and site promotion tools.

Tech support by phone is super. The techs do tend to require a few emails in order to get a grasp of a problem when using email or the online tech support forms. They don't seem to read the whole messsage the first time through. But once corrected and they have a handle on the situation they do resolve issues by providing the required information. This is not an issue with the phone support system which, as I indicated, has been superior.
