    Here are the questions:

    • Is godaddy a domain reseller?
    • Registrar means reseller?
    • If we register a .com (a new available) from godaddy.. is godaddy acting as a reseller here?

    Please answer me ASAP.

    1. Godaddy is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar
    2. No, Registrar does not mean reseller
    3. Godaddy is acting as a registrar here

    You can be a reseller for godaddy.com by paying for a reseller plan and sell their products..

    Godaddy is not a reseller as already said, but you will find tons of Godaddy resellers branded under its domain reselling service www.wildwestdomains.com

    Probably the reason you asked about :rolleyes:

    I've registered 80 percents of my websites at GoDaddy. Nice and responsible registrar!

    Most of my domains are at GoDaddy ;)

    Be careful though as I've heard several people getting mad because they've searched for something at GoDaddy and went to register it later and it was taken buy an investor... Just saying :)

    I've heard the same rumor too. However, my experience has always been positive.
