Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing system that offers new options to gain money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names 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, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make profit from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own web business. Commonly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and design skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either have a ready-to-use web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Reselling Web Site Hosting Plans Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to run their website and require both a domain name and a web site hosting package. A few corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
