Ask HN: Domain name registration service for supplemental income? Hi, I work in a company but I feel that I have run out of passion for the company. I intend to start my own product and consulting business, but before I can leave job, I am looking at ways to supplement my income so leaving hefty paying job is little easier :). Target customers for my consulting is small/medium/startup companies. I was thinking if I can build a good interface for domain name registration and web hosting and direct my future customers to that. However I can only start consulting after leaving my job. So Question is in the meantime, can I run a domain name registration and web hosting business solely relying on SEO/SEM/PPC skills (I am pretty good at it). I intend to generate ~$1500/month to help me quit job. I am looking for any other ideas you have too. This domain name service will offer good name suggestions/very end-user friendly interface for eg, to shift to Google Apps etc. Later on I intend to tie into sell web hosting as well as ssl certificates on it. I have 9+ years experience in web development(.NET/PHP/Angular),DevOps,SEO/SEM etc with quiet successful track record. |
