Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that provides new options to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and 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 involves 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given TLD may entail, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your own electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-made site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal online portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Web Page Hosting Plans Too

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to set up their web page and need both a domain name and a web site hosting plan. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
