Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that supplies new opportunities to make cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, making profit 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 an increasing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain consists of 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (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 Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may impose, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own online business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies 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 requires for the domain registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Very Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing management software and themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the huge demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either have a ready-for-use web site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Reselling Web Hosting Solutions Too

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who desire to make their site and need both a domain and a web page hosting plan. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
