Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging network that delivers new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of two constituents - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may include, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own e-business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more users in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing software and web page layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the huge demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either acquire a turn-key web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web portal and order form. Generally, you have the option to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Offering Web Site Hosting Packages Too

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who wish to establish their website and demand both a domain name and a hosting package. Given corporations offer 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 charge-free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
