Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that supplies new possibilities to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".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 generic TLDs comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain cash from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can begin your own personal web business. Usually, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and design themes for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the increasing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-to-use website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Promoting Web Page Hosting Packages As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who would like to establish their online portal and demand both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
