Hi,<p>I work in a company but I feel that I have run out of passion for the company.<p>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 :).<p>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).<p>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.<p>Later on I intend to tie into sell web hosting as well as ssl certificates on it.<p>I have 9+ years experience in web development(.NET/PHP/Angular),DevOps,SEO/SEM etc with quiet successful track record.
Domain registration and re-sold basic web hosting are generally razor thin on margins - that's why most companies in those spaces try to "value-add" the fuck out of every customer.<p>Personally, I would instead focus on finding small (read: less demanding/time sensitive) clients you can take on part-time - this gives you a client base to start from when you go full time on it, and some extra income until that time.
