I just became a reseller with makemoneysellingdomainnames to resell web hosting and domain names?
I lawful became a reseller with makemoneysellingdomainnames to resell web hosting and domain names. I joined because I build a decent amount of websites for my own use. I was wondering why a lot of webmasters and IT people aren't in the reseller area. I drive a taxi and talk with a lot of IT people and almost none of them take advantage of controlling the cost for web hosting. Isn't this weird? Any comments welcome.
I over you're wrong when you write, "I was wondering why a lot of webmasters and IT people aren't in the reseller charge."
In fact, an awful lot of people, including webmasters, IT professionals, and others, are in the hosting and domain reselling commerce. There are certainly at least "tens of thousands," and possibly many hundreds of thousands of "web-hosting" businesses out there, most run by people who also do web improvement work.
Some professionals do this "surreptitiously," creating an apparently-secluded company which they use to register and host client sites. Many do it openly, telling their clients that they own the hosting or registration attendance.
Those professionals who do NOT resell web-hosting or domain-registration services frequently believe that their sole require should be based on their time, not on reselling services at potentially inflated prices.
In into the bargain, some professionals choose not to resell anything other than their own services, because they recognize that over time, the level of serve at most hosting and registration companies can change.
Over the past 12 years, I've hosted my own and clients' web sites on several dozen abundant servers (including dedicated servers, colocated servers, and many shared servers), and registered domains with many divers registrars. Recently, I consolidated all my registrations to a single registrar, and I also consolidated all hosting to a singular provider, but it's likely that I'll move some or all of this within 12 months.
