Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that provides new ways to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may contain, including the duration 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 customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make profit from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your own Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue 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 Domains Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the expanding demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either have a pre-built web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Promoting Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to persons who desire to establish their site and need both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the world.
