domain reselling don have this problem...

correct me if i am wrong....probably i have wrong concept
erm.ya..as "iamfreelancer" replied....it is depend on which kind of hosting reseller u apply. some company's reseller plan is based on affiliate program. some based on u buy a reseller space n set your own package n pricing.

the term of "reseller" is different from each company. but common is a company come out some reseller package and buyer buy it n and set his own package n pricing. if u not able to sell it, u have to bear for the risk.

if based on affiliate reseller program, most of the time u cant set own price n package, but u have no risk at all.

PS: sorry for my poor language...

erm... the credit inside your domain reseller account is never expired..
let said u register a domain name cost USD 7.99. the cost of 7.99 will charge from your account credits. the domain subscription period is from the date u register and the period is 1 year contract.

ya..u r right... buy a stock of 12 cookies the possibilities to sell it all in 1 day is very low. and the profit for domain is actually low. normally the profit for each domain is RM 12-20 if the price in RM 40. so the revenue is so low and the time to spend to sell out all of the stock is not short.

but as a part timer or treat it as side income.....mayb i have a different view with u. for me..as long as a business is profitable, it is worth to do if the cost and risk is low.

for domain selling business..i treat it as a great opportunity. the starting cost normally is only the prepayment fund. at this moment what i found the lowest is USD 80 for 10 domain name. let said we sell it RM 40/domain. total sales is RM 400. cost is USD 80 x 3.5 = RM 280. so our profit at this level is RM 120 only. oh my god.. so low...but....the possibilities those customer renew their domain through u is not low. so next year they will find u again to renew it. so new year u do nothing u get another RM 120. if u can sell more. u get more without do anything....

PS1: i m a college student who run domain business for nearly 1 year and my domains volume is about 120 + . as a student, this small amount of side income consider high for me.

PS2: sorry for my poor language. coz i m chinese educated student.

correct me if i m wrong

actually RM120 is equal to 30% profit... for IT market, normally the hardware u all buy outside, the margin for the boss are around 5 to 8%, that why some time u buy PC or accessory with credit card need to charges 3 more percent.

so for a business, profit above 25 percent consider ok...

huh? 30%? not 48% mie ??

let said the cost of domain is USD 8 (RM28), sell RM 40.

12/40 x 100% = 48%
