Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that offers new possibilities to earn money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating 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 presently active domain names, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may have, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kick off your very own Internet business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing management software and web site themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the significant demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Web Space Hosting Plans As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to run their web page and require both a domain and a web hosting package. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
