How To Choose A Profitable Domain Name
In Setting up a
bulk sms website, choosing a Profitable domain name is one essential thing that
must be considered for maximum income.
You must use a
domain name that is “easy to pronounce,
easy to remember, easy to type and not long in words”.
If your domain name
has all these features, believe me your on the right track. An example of what am saying is “Oneunitsms.Net”, “Kudisms.net”
You can see that
these above domain names are short, simple, and easy to type and remember.
Those are the
features your domain must carry.
Wondering where you
can get these kinds of domain names, not to worry.
I have a trick i
teach my student/clients.
Whenever you need a
domain name to use for a bulk sms website, just
use your first or last name with sms and tweak it if necessary.

OneunitSMS Bulk SMS Platform
OneunitSMS bulk sms
portal is a bulk sms portal owned by us and it works on a SMSC Platform.
I will teach you
how to build your Bulk sms platform around the Oneunit sms Platform in few
minutes.
9.
Steps to Setting Up Your Own Bulk SMS Platform
To setup your own
Bulk SMS Platform, kindly follow these below steps strictly and one after the
other.
10.
Create A Domain Email in Cpanel
First you need to create a Domain Email in your Cpanel. As I told you,
once your Domain name and Website Hosting details has been sent, make sure you
check the email for your Cpanel details.
I will be using Topmostsms.com as example in the process.
Once you open your email, you will find your cpanel details similar to
this below:-
Next is to login to your cpanel by visiting http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
Once it opens, enter the username and password you saw in the Hosting
Account Information email.
Once it successfully logs in, you will see your cpanel platform like
this:-
Now we need to setup a domain email e.g admin@yourdomain.com, support@yourdomain.com, yourname@yourdomain.com, and so on.
The reason why it is preferable to use your domain email instead your
normal yahoo and gmail is because, your domain email looks more professional,
and people get to trust a service that has a domain email other than that which
just uses normal email address.
Therefore, after loggin into your cpanel, locate the icon named “Email
Accounts” and click on it. Once it opens, enter your desired email, then enter
your password and click on “Create Account”.
As shown below:-
Therefore, you will see a message that you have successfully created
your email address.
Now, I will advice you to forward your domain email to your normal
yahoo/gmail email address so that once you have any message, you will
immediately receive it in your yahoo or gmail too.
To do that, go back to the Homepage of your Cpanel, then locate “Forwarder”
icon and click on it. On the next page, click on the “Add Forwarder” icon.
So on the next page, enter the domain email you wish to forward, and the
email address you wish to forward to. After that, click on Add Forwarder.
See image below:-
On the next page, you will get a confirmation
that your email has been successfully forwarded to the new email you entered.
11.
Create a Sub-Domain in Cpanel
Next is to create a Subdomain. A Subdomain is a dedicate folder where
your bulk sms portal will be Set-up. So that when you upload other files into
the public_html folder of you Cpanel, it won’t affect your bulk sms portal.
To achieve this, login to your Cpanel and locate the icon “Subdomains”
under the Domain Tab. Click on it.
Once you are on the next Subdomains page, type in smsc into the Subdomain box and click on Create. See image below:-
After that, you will get a message that the subdomain has been
successfully created, then return to the Cpanel homepage.
12.
Edit DNS Zone Record
Next is to edit the DNS Zone Record to connect to our I.P Address so
that you portal will automatically come up. To do this, navigate to the Cpanel
Homepage, click on “Advanced DNS Zone Editor”
On the next page, we need to edit the IP of the DNS file zone
“smsc.yourdomain.com” and www.smsc.yourdomain.com
Just click on the edit icon in front of these dns zones, enter the ip
address 66.266.72.231 and click on
edit record.
Do that for both “smsc.yourdomain.com” and “www.smsc.yourdomain.com”
I hope you understand.
13.
Register an Account on Oneunitsms.Net
Having edited the DNS Zone, next is to Register and Account on Smsc.Oneunitsms.Net
so as to be able to fully setup your Portal.
Simply visit http://smsc.oneunitsms.net ; click on “Register” button. Fill in
the necessary details on the next page. After that, a confirmation link will be
sent to the email you registered with, simply Check your email to click on the
email and your account will be Activated.
I hope you understand the Registration
Process.
14.
Send A Reseller Account Creation Notification
After your successful Registration, you need to send us your details so
that we can configure and link your account on smsc.oneunitsms.net to your
website so it can be fully functional.
Simply send us an email to admin@oneunitsms.net containing the follwing details.
Title of the mail :- Reseller Account Creation Notification
Body of the mail:- You website name, You admin username and password.
Once we receive this, we will conjure and link your account with us and
notify you.
So once you visit smsc.yourdomain.com, you will see something like
this:-
Its cool right? That’s how we roll mhen. Lol.
And your bulk sms portal is up. You just enter
your username and password, then start blasting sms.
