Hello Guys. I spend these last five years to buy, sell and trande domains and websites. I'm really tired of writing contents and doing on and off-page seo, link exchanging, promoting..... choosing new theme and new subjects for new websites.. So, I'm just thinking to start a new business (Domains and hosting), I read a pretty numbers of topics that's talking about reseller acconts providers like Goddady, resseler Club, Tucows and i found recently enom and there are many more others. But i'm wondering !! is this business really gainful, does it worth to spend the start budget ? even $100 is not a fortune, but is it really profitable ? I'm wondering too... after a painfull seo work to have a good serp, is it gainful to have a new customer for $1 or $2 profits and waiting for a renewal the next year ? If so, which is the best ( with your experience ) ?? If some members (domain resellers) don't want to post their yearly amounts, a pm will be very helpful. So what do you think ?
My husband got me a reseller account when we was working at godaddy, so ours pretty cheap. I planned on using if I ever got around to start web design. But, I;ve been pretty lazy about it. I think it can be profitable, but you have to work at it. That means MORE SEO work, etc. I would concentrate on the things that would actually turn a profit, like virtual dedicated and dedicated servers. This is just GD's that I'm using as an example: Take their dedicated servers at $65/mo buy price. Take that and sell it at regular price 70-80+/month and there's some profit. Keep in mind I haven't used mine yet, I just happen to glance at the buy prices after I read your post. But that's an idea. Just specialize in something. Again, with GD (I feel like a spokesperson for them now), you don't have to handle support - your plan comes with it. So all you do is make the sales and let their call centers handing the customers. Find a niche and specialize and try to profit there. That's just my take on it.
i can only spend around $7 for a .com domain, can you offer the lower price? even your domain is cheaper, i would still go to Godaddy, name.com instead, since they are reliable. hopefully you can get what i mean, it's a completely money wasting plan.
In my opinion it still have some room for new comer. What you should do is find a reseller plan that don't oversell and have good uptime. Chose a niche such as budget web host then promote it.
