Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that supplies new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-letter abbreviations that represent 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 one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may involve, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Make Profit From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain cash from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal online business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more clients in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and web design themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the strong demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so seductive. You will either have a pre-made web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Site Hosting Services Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to manage their site and demand both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
