One
of the first issues
people run into when they get into the
domain business is keeping track of and
managing the growing number of domains in
their portfolios. Many start out, as I
did, using a spreadsheet like Excel,
but when the number of names you have
starts running into the hundreds or
thousands, you are likely to find that you
need dedicated domain management
software with a lot more horsepower
under the hood. |

InterNetX's
AutoDNS
3.0 program is one of the most
robust ones out there and it is now
possible to get it at no charge if
you are also ready to do what many other
domain investors have done - become a reseller
of domain registration services. |
|
Many
of the biggest registrars, including Go Daddy,
eNom and InterNetX offer turnkey
reseller programs that can instantly put you
in the registration business. That can help you
create a new revenue stream in addition
to the commission you make on new domain
registrations. When someone buys a domain from
you can ask them to create a new account at your
registration site so you can immediately
push the domain to them. If they keep the name
with your service, as many will do, you will
then make recurring revenue from their
renewals year in and year out.

InterNetX,
who already has over 25,000
resellers (and 3.6 million domain
under management) knows that people
interested in becoming resellers are also
very likely to need professional domain
management software, so they are using the
free
AutoDNS 3.0 Standard offer as
a powerful incentive to give their
reseller program a try.
In
addition to the software new resellers get
the InterNetX redirector, WhoisProxy,
and Whois Privacy Service. The
company thinks the redirector is an
especially useful solution to several
problems. For example, |
|
if
a website changes domains or is being
restructured, a 301 redirect to the new
pages can be implemented to avoid website
visitors reaching a 404 error page (this
solution is also recommended by leading
search engines). Domains, subdomains
and email addresses can all be easily
redirected with just a few clicks. |
Many
AutoDNS 3.0 features are also available on the
go thanks to a mobile app that allows
InterNetX customers to manage their domain
portfolio 24/7
wherever they are. If you are thinking about
becoming a reseller, this is one of the
platforms worth checking out.
