Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing community that offers new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning 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 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may impose, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Money From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your very own electronic business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and web design themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the rising demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either have a ready-for-use website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web page and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Selling Site Hosting Services As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to establish their web site and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A number of firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
