Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing platform that provides new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from offering domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own personal web business. Usually, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and design layouts for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either get a ready-to-use website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Promoting Web Hosting Plans As Well

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to establish their web site and require both a domain and a web page hosting package. Particular companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
