Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that provides new ways to earn cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name comprises 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Selling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your own electronic business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue 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 register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and web design skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the strong demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so tempting. You will either get a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own website and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Selling Webspace Hosting Plans As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to run their website and demand both a domain and a site hosting package. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
