How can I give a customer access to his specific domain on godaddy?

April 26, 2008

Making Money Online selling hosting accounts is another tactic that many people are applying. Yes, the industry is very competitive but if you start as a local reseller in your town, city or country it could be more profitable. I know someone that is selling hosting in his town and he is now getting $20,000 USD per year profits only. Without spending a dime in PPC or affiliate marketing. This is why I will qoute someone that is selling hosting accounts but did something very wrong since he started:

Im having a problem here, I have my domain hosted on godaddy but i also have like 20 other domains registered under my account name, so far i have been in charge of the technical support of these websites everytime a customer wanned to update something. But now, i have this customer and he wants to make changes by his own, but i cannot give him my account number and pasw because he will not only have access to his website but to every domain registered on my account. Ive been trying to look for something but dont really have idea, i asked for an authorization code for this domain and tried it like password but its not working. Does somebody know how should I direct this?

thanks in advance

As always I don’t recommend to buy your domain names with your hosting company. If I want to start selling hosting accounts and domain names I will do the following:

Get a Domain Reseller account with Godaddy (Not Just to sell domain names). You can save $20 using this godaddy coupon: wwgob01aa - $20 off ALL Reseller Plans! Resell Domains for GoDaddy.com
Open a Hosting reseller account with Hostgator. With a hostgator reseller account you can give your customers their own username and password to login to their CPANEL without login to your personal reseller account. The Hostgator reseller account will cost you: $24.95 per month (including free billing system). Reseller Hosting Starting at $24.95!

So answering this user question, I will recommend you as I said to open a hostgator reseller account and then email them so they will transfer all your hosting accounts to the hostgator reseller account for FREE. That is a great service that hostgator gives because if you want someone else to transfer and do all this job you have to pay for it. If you want to join this venture don’t make the same mistake and open a hosting account like godaddy and reseller from it.

Also this comes with the domain names issue. With a Domain reseller account with godaddy your customers will have their own domain account for them without giving your main account. Even they can purchase domain names from you automatically and Godaddy will handle the payment and every process then you get the money from Godaddy. You can move your domain names and your customer domain names with a simple button in your godaddy account something called “Push domain names” and is for free.
