Iam thinking about starting a new domain registrar. Do you think theres still money to be made?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

hmm... You need to have lots of money, servers, secure sertificates, staff.. programers , admins.. computers, telephones..

aaaaaahhh... not very simple.. i prefer GoDaddy reseller accounts

I wouldn't bother starting one...Go with the reseller solution if you want to try, although I don't think it's really that easy to make money from them either

I hope you did your research before posting this idea.

Good luck and do your research.

Yes, reseller is the quickest way to get started. Iam going to give it a shot.

 

[smub]

well as people say you need alot of staff members, and programmers, good security etc.

give reseller a shot and see if you find it easy and make any money.

+ time and money wasting i think. Take reseller from registar and be happy

I think I will try the reseller route.

Namecheap is a reseller. Why are they so popular?

Put it simple:
One who resell.

To be very simplify: Reseller is the one who buy domain quotas from registrars and sell domains to you.
Where Registrars can virtually register domains themselves.

It's a site that resells domains for profit. So like they pay the real domain company like Godaddy or whatever, and then they resell the domains for more

 

[TUFKATH]

How is that different from what I do?

 

[Epic]

You don't have a website where people can register domains.

 

[TUFKATH]

That confuses me! Give me an example of a reseller please?

 

[Epic]

Alright lol

http://www.namecheap.com

 

[TUFKATH]

NO!

NameCheap is a domain reseller? What is an example of a non domain reseller than??? :O

 

[Epic]

http://www.godaddy.com is not a reseller.

 

[TUFKATH]

What's the difference between buying from a reseller or a registrar?

 

[Epic]

Alright say you're a reseller with Godaddy, ok?
A buyer goes to your site and registers a domain. Your site then registers it with Godaddy, who in turn registers it with ICANN or whoever is the official domain people...

Godaddy doesn't have to go through another company to register with ICANN
