So, for some reason i had to write a functional script that talks (PHP Via SOAP) to Wild West Domains API for domain registration and other services (For fully branded website), And i was wondering if there is enough interest so that i improve it and sell it.
Things that come to my mind
1- This could hurt Domain Reseller Direct, where people get a Turnkey Domain reseller account in addition to PHP tools to customize there websites (we add free scripts for them, and they can install them on there website or we install the scripts for them) i am not sure it is legal to tell you the details ! (I never thought i would ever have to say that), but that’s the system, what can (or should i say Can’t) i say.
2- If i was to charge for the script, i think it would end up being sold for $500 a copy, that won’t make me much money, but when i put effort into scripts, i like to maximize there use, either to make money or to give away, but again it is a loosing deal and i know it in advance.
3- To allow people to use the script, i have to create extra modules for paypal, 2CO, and other credit card gateways, this is an easy but tedious task, Do i have the time for this ?
4- I know many people want such a script, but Wild West Domains / GoDaddy API is not a complete API, it does require some pages to run off there servers, and basically that puts us back to the solution we are offering at Domain Reseller Direct, but at a much higher cost.
I really want to hear your thoughts on this, and if you are going to comment, please tell me if you would be interested in such a script so i can have that data to process with my “Handy capped business logic”
Awaiting your response
