Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that provides new opportunities to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

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 best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains involve two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may involve, like the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own personal web business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a CP where you can set the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and web design themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the great demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either have a ready-made web site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Selling Web Hosting Solutions Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who would like to establish their website and need both a domain and a web space hosting account. A few corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
