Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that generates new ways to make cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain 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 Domains include the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may entail, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain resource records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your very own personal online business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and website layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process together with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either get a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web site and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Selling Web Hosting Accounts As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who want to run their website and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. Given corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
