Comparing those revenues to commissions, it seems their margin prices are even high. I would also like to know

Apparently the reason the price margin of revenues to commissions is so high is because they sell other products as well through the WWD platform. E.g. they configure the selling of ebooks through the system.

Interesting... thank you for the information, I have to see how that is done.

No problems :yell:. If I'm not mistaken, I read about this exact thing in the GoDaddy reseller forum (link from the reseller control center).

Well, the #1 commision reseller does not necessarily have to be the same as the #1 revenue reseller. It is even possible that the entire top 10 comission resellers are not in the top 10 revenue resellers.

Exactly, because that depends on profit margins each setup...

one of GoDaddy's top reseller is actually DomainsPricedRight - however, not for the reasons you may think. When a Reseller account expires, its moved under the DomainsPricedRight banner, thus its one of Godaddy's biggest resellers, even though it is owned by Godaddy.

Another very large reseller of Godaddy is bluehost - which I believe has about 100,000 domain names. (atleast, as of 2006). Bluehost is an API reseller of Godaddy, so they do their own support.

Excellent info, Justin... didn't know that about Bluehost...

 

[Spade]

Yah, you wouldnt know it unless you worked for Godaddy or BlueHost itself.... but I remember they were one of the largest resellers. Lots of phone calls that had to be redirected to them.
