Reseller?

LeetPCUser · 10-25-2005, 11:34 AM

How can I become a domain name reseller??

Edit: I just looked and it looks quite expensive. Is there a way I can work on comission for a site. For example for every name I get 5% instead of buying a 100?

infinitomagazine · 10-25-2005, 12:14 PM

hey i have the same question, so please someone who can explain very easy how is to be domain resseler.
thanks

LeetPCUser · 10-25-2005, 12:26 PM

Yep clueless...

Findacodder · 10-25-2005, 12:52 PM

Yes, you can.
I am reseller of Godaddy.
They offer a great program
www.pointerdesigns.com
Then click on "Want to be a reseller?" in the red bar
There you have 2 different programs
One cost 99$
and the other cost 179$

Te best one its obviously the 179$ one, because you earn at least 1$ per domain sale plus many other comissions (hosting, private registration, and other stuff).

Godaddy sell that program in 209 i think, that on porpuse so you can purchase for less in some reseller sites like mine and help me grow a bit (godaddy dont need that as me hehehehe).

I am WWD (GoDaddy) Superreseller, and I can offer to any NP member a additional discount of 40USD (basic) and 80$ (Pro) account when purchasing through www.reseller.targetdomain.com.

If interested just PM me.

Do you want to resell domains or want to trade domains ?
I ask cause there is a big difference and depending on what you want to do as for each purpuse there are different reseller companies that suit best.

If you just want to register domains at wholsale rates see my signature or another option.

PS:
Keep in mind, that reselling domains is a hard and very competitive buisiness, and will cost a lot of promotion to succeed.

Didoz · 10-25-2005, 01:27 PM

GoDaddy reseller are very good IMO

redz · 10-25-2005, 05:22 PM

yep Godaddy.com is pretty low price and they are a trusted company

.

LeetPCUser · 10-25-2005, 07:10 PM

Hmmm, just what I thought. Very expensive.

bling · 10-25-2005, 07:13 PM

well its worth the money if you are willing to do what ever it takes to sell domains.

Yes what you want is to become an Affliate
Sign up at commission Junction for Yahoo/Godaddy/Netfirms/Dotster and many others . These company's then pay you a Lead/Commision on sales

or if you want a low / no cost entry Reseller program than there are several
registrars that offer Turnkey sites as little as $50 and API solutions for Free
PM me for a list of alternatives
I have reseller agreements with 5 Registrars Covering the whole spectrum
from
Freebie API agreements With Directi ,NetRegistry
(Yes ,You can get Directi Resellers for no money up front)
to
WWD Super Reseller Status
(often Called Godaddy ,
but the TurnKey sites are from WildWestDomains ,
A Godaddy owned company,
but is a separate ICANN registrar)

If you only want to buy at a good Price for your own needs ,then maybe a bulk rate deal from various registrars is an option. Several registrars/resellers offer Discounts for bulk orders,some don't even require pre-payment ,just minimum purchase amounts. For instance RegisterFly offers 50 .info's for $67.50

First and most important thing you need to do when considering a reseller is
not Which one or How much, But Why do you think you need a reseller agreement.
A lot of domainers get themselves a reseller agreement for the wrong reasons.

IAmAllanShore · 10-26-2005, 06:31 AM

For no upfront cost, go to www.cj.com or www.linkshare.com and sign up as a GoDaddy affiliate. The % cut is almost as good as that of a reseller, but you don't have to manage anything/domain/website. The biggest drawback is that you lose any recurring payments that customer may have, but most large domain purchasers don't stay with resellers too long anyway (Typically, plenty of exceptions to the rule).

But the recurring customers payments is where the money is, at least in my oppinion, as "large" buyers have their own GD or Enomaccounts.
Remember the GD reseller programm is not for domain traders, it is for individuals, who generally purchase 1-5 domains, and hosting.
Once they have your hosting with you they likely will stay, as it is a bunch of work for most ppl to move hosts.
It is a common error made by most resellers, that they try to resell/advertize their services to domaineers.

SimpleDomaining · 10-26-2005, 11:50 AM

wow wonderful information. thank you. always was wondering about how to become reseller. Got additional question, if you dont mind. I pay $90 + i buy my domain and my hosting+ i have to make web site which will resell domains based on what? I mean do they give you some kind of ready to go store fronts? or i have to write my own, or it is just a similar to affiliate program, where i have to make a link to them and refere customers?

Eijizze · 10-26-2005, 11:50 AM

Im sorry, i dont mean to be annoying but can someone sum up this topic, i personally dont want to have to read all that because I have the same question.. i am a newbie

Findacodder · 10-26-2005, 12:34 PM

Well, to sum, the info is this
Godaddy sell reseller plans.
For example i have the suppereseller one.
As supper reseller, i set the prices at 90 and 179$ for the resellers plans.
The difference between both of them are the percentaje you get for each domain register you get from customers + hosting + ssl certificates + private registerin + lot of things.

In my opinion the plan that i am selling at 179$, that godaddy set at 200 to help reseller sell those plans, is the best one "cost-benefit".

With your purchase, you get an automated solution.
You just have to set the prices you want to sell the products, set the collors for your store, maybe if you what change some images and thats all!
then start marketing!!!.

Its fully automated, you dont have to do anything and its really professional. All pages of your website (that its hosted by godaddy so you dont have to pay for host or bandwith) has your logos/banners and customers are from you, so you also get bonus for the renew of their services.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=134797

In my opinion, if you can get some customers, its truly worth.

If you sell some kind of domains and maybe some hosting plan, you will get soon you investment, and then... just start earning.

if you need help, contact me
and if you are intrested, please help me and purchase from me at www.pointerdomains.com
thanks a lot

barefoottech · 10-26-2005, 03:05 PM

Well to Summarise
As I have already described in my previous post and others have also mentioned

Four Different Ways to benefit from sales of Domains

a/ Become affiliate and collect via LinkShare/Commision junction,
a commision on any sales resulting from the clickthrus from ads
displayed on your own websites.

b/ Get a management control panel reseller agreement
This is a w'sale order based system offered by only a few
registrars. They provide a web based control system
which allows you to setup accounts for customers and sell them
domains at your prices . There is no actual shop/website,
but customers have a web Based control panel for their domains.

This is ideal for WebDesigners selling domains to clients of their web
Site Design services and don't need any storefront sales
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=134797
Most of these are free from the registrars.
PM me for details. I operate 2 of these for specialist domain sales

c/ Get a Reseller TurnKey Site from one of several registrars/resellers
offering them. This is a PreMade Stand alone website .
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=134797
(example http://www.webname4.us)
All you need to do is add you own branding ,such as the
names on response emails and contact details on website.

This is the type of Solution that is offered by such places as
Wild West Domains (AKA Godaddy) (http://www.godudes.com)

I offer these For similiar prices to other Super Resellers
(thru http://www.Godudes.info) or
they are available direct from Godaddy.

Other companies also offer them for Prices ranging from FREE
to $200+ . PM me for details as I have investigated most and
I have/had several in the past.

Directi is another major registrar offering these directly or
thru some of their resellers. Many Nper's also offer them
PM me for Details.

Main Disadvantage of TurnKey is sameness of most of the sites
But that can be an advantage as new customers feel comfortable
using something they may have used before

d/ Get an API solution . This the most flexible solution ,but also the
most difficult to setup . it involves to creation of your own custom
website or the addition of domain name registration services
to your existing website. This is the solution used by a
lot of webhosting sites who need to sell the occasional domain
API solutions are offered by most registrars .
( Example is the Domain Sales here at NamePros)
Prices range from FREE to $250+. Directi,eNom and others offer
these with the information needed for the succesful usage by
anyone with a reasonable level of programming skill

The most important decision is Why/Who/What.

Why do you want to sell domains
Who do you want to sell domains to ?
What do you want to sell as well as Domains
some reseller agreements only offer Bare-bones Domain name sales
whereas others offer hosting and related services
up to the complete solutions offered by WWD which offers
sales of Everything from a single Domain to a complete WebHosting server.

Jeez , How much more (Proper?????) explanation detail do want ,If you can't understand the previous, then maybe this is a suitable summary
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=134797

1/ Pay some Money for reseller site
2/ Get some customers hopefully
3/ Make some money maybe

Eijizze
Without appearing to being prejudical ,if you have difficulty with reading and understanding the previous explanations, then maybe a reseller site is not for you.

RJ · 10-26-2005, 06:06 PM

I do have an active GoDaddy/WWD reseller site (registermate.com) but can't recommend the service over eNom. WWD reporting system is terrible and customization is limited.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=134797

eNom has hands down the best reseller options around. They have four different ways you can resell,

1) Create your own site using their API. Examples of this is NameCheap.com or NamePros NP$ registration system

2) Their free RegistryRocket program, An example of a live reseller site is at,
http://domains.namepros.com/
Orders get processed by eNom's credit card processor.

3) PDQ system,a more advanced "ready-made" reseller solution ($99/yr)

4) Or simply give out retail sub accounts to your clients to register direct with eNom. You get the difference in price credited to your account and can request payment by check or use the credit towards registrations.

You can find lower priced eNom accounts on eBay or from other resellers sometimes. If you need just the basic free eNom reseller account drop me a line and I can provide one.

Best of luck!

I can understand people selling a domain at sedo for $200, of which 90% is profit. How about domain reseller, can someone share with us the average return on the investment? I mean, are you making $XXX or $X,XXX for dozen customers?
