Hello guys,
We are a startup team planning to launch a web hosting marketplace. While our first version will be ready soon, we would greatly appreciate it if you could spare some of your valuable time to analyze our startup and provide us with your feedback. Thank you.
What problem are we solving?
As a hosting company, one of the primary challenges you face is the limited range of services you offer. Your website visitors may require a VPS from a country that you don't currently support, or they may inquire about services you don't provide, such as Docker, bare metal, or other specialized options. It can be frustrating not being able to fulfill these requests and meet the diverse needs of your customers.
How would we solve them?
We are launching a platform that serves as an API gateway. This platform enables easy integration of any API service within an hour. For example, we can seamlessly integrate the Hetzner Cloud API into the system, making it available for sale. On the other hand, we have developed a WHMCS module that hosting companies can install on their CRM. This module seamlessly connects their WHMCS to our API gateway, enabling hosting companies to effortlessly sell Hetzner Cloud services on their websites.
The Hetzner API service serves as a simple example of the platform’s potential. Any provider, whether it be private data centers, DigitalOcean, or even SMS providers, can integrate their platform into our marketplace within an hour. Hosting companies that have installed the Caasify module on their WHMCS can effortlessly sell resources from the integrated providers without requiring any specific knowledge.
How does the cash flow operate?
In the Caasify marketplace, the price of services is determined by their providers. For example, Hetzner sets the price of 1GB of RAM at 4 euros per month. However, hosting companies that have installed the Caasify module on their WHMCS can add their desired commission (for example, 10%) to the final cost on their store. This means that the hosting's customers can order the Hetzner VM at a price of 4.4 Euro (which includes the Hetzner price plus the 10% hosting commission) on the WHMCS client area. Additionally, customers can easily top up their accounts on the hosting company's WHMCS and order services based on the hourly payment method (Pay as you go).
We are eagerly awaiting your comments, suggestions, or any criticisms, and we sincerely thank you in advance for your valuable input.
