Hello, I just want your opinion on this. Tell me whether I should go ahead with this plan. I will give a FREE Domain Name (.info) and a FREE Web Hosting to all those who needs it and then give tips on how to make money if he is a beginner from it via my web site which gives tips and resourses and then charge them a fee for that. Something like $25 or $30 which is one time. So that after that only I will give the domain to them until then they will have Hosting Control Only after they paid the my FEE then the domain and hosting is to be renewd by them. This way i can sell hosting, and also drive traffic to my site. Maybe I will ask them for a link back too as optional. Please give me your suggessions so that I can work on this.
Im a little confused. You said will give away .info and hosting for free, but then you said you will give customers a .info and hosting only after they pay $20-$30. Please clarify.
I mean.. yes I will give the domain and hosting for free but will trasfer the owner ship of the domain only after I get my fee. Otherwise they could get a free domain name and can host that in a free hosting site.
Ok, so free hosting and domain, but they can get access to nameservers / transfer / etc if they pay $20-$30. Hmm, so why wouldnt a customer just spend $0.99 and get their own .info?
Sounds like he is trying the free adwords sites plan. You get the adwords sites for free but have to pay for hosting and domain name. You give free domain name and hosting for one year i guess. Then charge them on how to promote site and earn money. Then tell them after they set site up they have to pay for it after first year. Just promote it as free website and domain name for 1 year. I do not know if they will pay to learn how to promote site. If you get them to host site your ahead any ways.
Ya I will give the account to them once they paid $20-30. Yes one could get a domain for $0.99 but not hosting. Am planning to give a min. of 100 MB space according to requirement. But my hosting do not allow download sites or image hosting site only content sites are allowed. Also they could earn double that what they paid to me easily if they are new to this field and it will be better to give this to Indians only so that I could help them in a better way and even give a FREE Virtual Card for their business or marketing needs.
What do you mean by " free adwords sites plan"? No am not charging on how to promote the site and earn money they may take consider it as the hosting fee itself. But only if they earn money from the site and never pay a penny if they didnt earn any money from it.
Actually, there are quite a few free hosting sites out there, so they can get hosting for free. Also, even if they had to pay, $30 should be able to buy 6-12 months of hosting, which at that time "could earn double" what they would have paid you. To me, it sounds like you're charging $20-$30 for a $0.99 domain without any value-added.
Adsense sites. Very simple people made up 150 adsense web templates. They advertise it as free adsense websites. You get the sites for free not the hosting. You sign up for hosting and the person makes the sites and sets them up for you after you pay for hosting. So the adsense sites or templates are free but the site is not really free.
Eh, I still dont think it would work. Lots of hosts offering much larger space. http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-web-hosts.php also, what about support? For just a tiny more I can get 24x7 support, uptime guarantees, moneyback guarantees and a lot more.
One problem with idea is domain names really need to be paid for over 1 year and when they are transfered rank usualy drops if it has any.
Domains are paid for one year no doubt about that and What do u mean by trasferring domain? Changing registrar or ownership?
Also tell me whether GoDaddy allows unlimited domains to be registerd for $0.99 or only one per person is allowd.
I would take a slightly different approach (however, I dont think it would be much more successful). I would charge customers $5 for a .info domain and include free hosting. The user then gets to select a "keyword" and they also send you their adsense publisher ID. You then put an rssminisite (http://rssminisite.com/) type script on the domain, with the idea that the owner can make money off of the adsense earnings. You, in turn, can make extra money from ebay, shops, etc After all that, Id still recommend you drop the idea and spend your time and effort coming up with something more unique. Best of luck. EDIT: for domains, check out http://www.resellerclub.com/. They too have $0.99 .infos
Hello as pointed out by one.. why would they buy domain from you for $5 when its available for $0.99 and they can choose a FREE hosting from some site as they get 500 MB space with no ads and also they can run their own adsense site...
Eh, what? You just changed your opinion. Anyways, $5 is a lot less than $20-$30, plus they will get their own version (better designed, more features, etc) of an rssminisite to make money off the advertisements. You then make money from the ebay, amazon, etc affiliate links. At lease with this plan there is a value-added (the rssminisite). However, as I stated before, "Id still recommend you drop the idea and spend your time and effort coming up with something more unique."
Ok then what if I give free domain and hosting and not charging a fee.. but only ask for a link back to my site at the bottom something like "Hosted by ...." or "Powered by ....." or something like that??? Yes its for one year only...
