Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that provides new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name comprises 2 entities - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Selling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and web page skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process together with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either have a ready-for-use site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Supplying Webspace Hosting Services As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to create their online portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
