Hi Friends,

I am doing a market survey for a new business idea of mine :)

I would appreciate it if you all can give me a feedback

Thanks

Hey Balaji, how're you doing?

What sort of info are you looking for? I think you need to be more specific because it all depends on the reason someone is purchasing domains.

For example...

I purchase domains, even though I don't need them, because I'm stupid/bored/reckless. Even then, I only have between 15 and 20 so I probably don't even average 1 per month.

Chicken buys domains because he's striving for world domination.

Others buy domains because they're running hosting businesses or providing a service to some market segment.

So, it all depends on what sort of buyer you're talking about.

Anyhow, put me down for perhaps a quarter of a domain name per month. (I buy a letter at a time :-)

Take it easy

Hey Abu,

Nice meeting you again!

I have been approached by a bulk reseller of stargate who promises domains to me at something like 6.95$ if I buy 50 or so at a time.

Like, puggy, I register around 10 domains a month mostly for my clients. Currently I am using an enom reseller on a one domain /buy basis which costs me around 8.50$

Sorry sounds commercial!

I purchase 5 to 15 domain names a month.
Got a reseller account at directi just for myself ;)

If you want to use it to sell domain names to customers, it's not that great. It's at their server, you have to call it in frames, so no customization ( that will come in a new version ).
For me, it's perfect, since I use the account for myself, not for customers. And $6.75 for domain names is quite cheap :D

This should have been a poll.

We do around 60 - 70 per month.
