Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that furnishes new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn profit from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own personal e-business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more customers in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain reseller market so desirable. You will either get a ready-to-use site and make use of 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 own web site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Trading Web Space Hosting Services As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to set up their web portal and require both a domain and a hosting account. A number of companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
