Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that provides new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may contain, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your own personal online business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web page hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice software and web site layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the proliferating demand for domains make the domain reseller market so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans Too

An excellent supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to manage their web page and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting account. A number of firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual 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 web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
