Aug 21, 2012 : Go Daddy Introduces Reseller Hosting

📅 August 21, 2012 - Product developed specifically to give web designers & developers full-service hosting.

Go Daddy, a domain name Registrar and hosting provider, yesterday announced that it has launched Go Daddy Reseller Hosting - new revenue channel for web designers and developers. Specifically created to manage multiple client websites, Reseller Hosting enables users to build their own web hosting company without the complexity and time required to manage a hosting operation.

The company says that Reseller Hosting gives designers and developers the ability to control, customize and monetize in a scalable, secure environment. Unlike most reseller hosting plans, which are delivered by a shared hosting environment, this product is powered by the company's Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and includes cPanel/WHM to manage user accounts, and WHMCS to handle billing.

It avers that VPS Reseller Hosting accounts include dedicated memory and generous hardware resources. This allows resellers to control the user density on their hosting server. Additionally, Reseller Hosting gives the reseller the ability to set the size of the hosting account and the fees charged, giving resellers the ability to maximize profits.

The company mentions that Reseller Hosting is backed by the same Go Daddy network and security used by millions of Web hosting customers every day. It is available in three plans to fit different needs. Each option gives resellers access to the company's 24/7 customer support.

"Web designers and developers represent a significant part of our customer base and are growing with the expansion of the Internet as a whole," said Go Daddy Chief Infrastructure Officer Auguste Goldman. "There are more and more opportunities to grow online businesses these days. Reseller Hosting empowers our customers by giving them a reliable, stable platform with full control capabilities that ultimately save them time. It's what they told us they wanted and we listened. Our goal is to help our customers deliver to their customers."

"Go Daddy's Reseller Hosting gets resellers up and running quickly," said Go Daddy Vice President of Hosting Scott Brown. "We build products and services for web designers and developers that are easy to use and increase their bottom line. Reseller Hosting gives designers and developers complete control without getting bogged down in buying and managing software."
