Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that provides new opportunities to make money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular TLD may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own Internet business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and web layouts for your web store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the large demand for domains make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either acquire a pre-developed site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Offering Web Page Hosting Services As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to run their website and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A few corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
