HostGator News

I had to reread a line in the HostGator newsletter a couple times.

As of last month we have hit 200,000 customers!

That was just the signups for one month!
That is roughly 6666.6666 signups a day!

I don't think Tim has caught up to them yet

Well, not quite

HostGator has over 2.2 million websites hosted, but what most don't realize is that 95%+ of HostGator's business comes from the resellers.

In terms of directly hosted customers, there's now over 200K. The other 2 million accounts are from resellers. So technically speaking, there are 200K direct customers and 2.2 million overall.

Growth is great, but not quite 6K signups a day. At HG did $37 million last year and my estimate for this year is $55-60 million.

Reseller growth is a key part of our business plan at HG and has driven 90% of the growth. That's why we're so eager to launch the VOIPo reseller plans.

Is there any updates on the reseller program?
