Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that generates new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist of two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your very own online business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice software and website templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the vast demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either have a pre-built web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own site and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Trading Web Site Hosting Packages As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to launch their web page and need both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. Certain firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
