Hi,

I finally bought a resellers account on Windows. It allows me to partition the space and bandwidth for 10 domains. I plan to use 1 of these accounts myself to host my website to sell Windows hosting and domains.

My reseller plan is at netlogistics

So what comes next? I guess I need a shopping cart type process for people to buy domains and my plans. I guess I also need scripts to set up the plans and register domain names from a registry? Need to set up billing and email to remind customers to extend plans and domains etc

I've seen programs that might do all this that run on php but I'm setting up what seems to be more a aspx type setup.

Please tell me what programs I need to set all this up on windows... thanks

Take a look at WHMCS or all in one solutions/control panels such as ensim,helm and h-sphere etc.

You will need a domain reseller account and one that will work with a billing system like WHMCS etc, I'd suggest Directi or Enom.

Being limited to only 10 domains is not at all ideal, since your going to need to charge a lot per domain to make it worth your while.

I am presuming that's the limit of the software license you have.

edit: ok Enom has windows but I need to sell hosting based in australia and australian domain names... possible?

WHMCS is php right? I'm selling Windows hosting, I thought its mainly for selling linux hosting?

I looked at Enom... It it linux only right?

Directi doesent have Australian domain so I cant use it

Doesn't look like a lot of windows support around.

Spend a bit more time looking at the Windows reseller website, ask the helpdask questions, etc.
You need a bit more homework to make a success of it....for example: You can buy 'Pac's' of 10 for $9.95...unlimited...
Why do you think you have to sell only Australian domains, etc. (Are you are an Indian student studying in Australia?).
Don't limit yourself. The internet can let you trade all over the world....sell .coms, etc. Good luck.
