Hello
Everyone knows that WordPress has a SaaS version called WordPress.com. Inspired by that idea, I've developed a similar version. Here, users simply choose from pre-made templates, and the automatic website creation process begins. In just 2 minutes, the website creation process is completed. I've also integrated domain reselling using Dynadot's API. Additionally, it features a plugin marketplace where admins can sell plugins or even offer them for free to users. What do you think of that idea?
 
What features would be different than Wordpress.com?
 
Even if you build a better mouse trap, you still need to sell it.

I would say it's too ambitious, considering WP is not your only competition - WIX, Squarespace, Shopify, even Blogger, Tumblr, Medium, etc.

You could add an AI website creation spin on it, but those kinds of ''AI Website Builders'' have popped up like shrooms after rain, and are worthless yet, as best they can do is build one-page bug-infested website mockups...

Overall I would say Don't make this blindly - unless you have a killer competing idea, and you think you can take on the world's biggest free Blog platform...

Approach from a completely other side and find the right ''product market fit'' -

Do not invest a PENNY in development, before you test your idea with real end-users - go talk with 100+ of your potential customers/users, see that people are actually missing, find that GAP in a Market and CREATE a fix/solution for that.
 
You should try getting affiliates resell for you like click funnels does. Also subscriptions are better than a one time sell.
