phprocker Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey all. I was thinking of becoming a reseller. Anyone have any opinions or advice on the topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sort of depends on what you want to resell, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbin Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 My main advice would be: Do you actually know how to do it and do it right, or do you just think it sounds like fun? Also, it's kind of a broad question. I'm sure it was worth it for the founder of Godaddy, but as with all fields, lots of hosts/domain resellers have crashed and burned.

revraz Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 A reseller meaning you will be selling someone else's service right? Don't see why not, but why would someone use you when they can probably go to the source and get it cheaper? Big firms usually offer their own reseller program, and they pay you for referrals, I'd do that instead, easier and the service/support is on them and not you.

premiso Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not worth it. I have a reseller account and it is a pain to maintain and keep up with the customers etc. That and you have to charge enough to get back what you paid, and a lot of times it is tough to fill that demand. Especially with the free/cheap hosts out there. That is my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the cheap sources only offer bulk packages. Not always the case.... But sometimes ;p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
