LetReseller leads only where evidence is public: storefront, RDAP search, fail-closed mutations, DNS intended-vs-current board.
GoDaddy comparison
Designed to go beyond GoDaddy in options and controls. Not at operational parity.
4 LetReseller rows are verified live. 4 commercial/lifecycle rows are blocked. GoDaddy already sells storefront, cards, reports, 24/7 support, domains, DNS, hosting, SSL, email, builder, API reseller and Super Reseller.
GoDaddy still wins money path: checkout, quotes, registration, renew, transfer, DNS writes, hosting, SSL, email.
