Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding network that furnishes new ways to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Make Cash From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain money from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own online business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a pre-built website and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web site and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Web Site Hosting Services As Well

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who would like to launch their web page and demand both a domain and a web page hosting package. A few firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages 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.
