Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing network that furnishes new options to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises two constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete TLD may involve, like the length of the registration term or the residency 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 records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own personal e-business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice software and website layouts for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the towering demand for domains render the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either have a pre-built website and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Supplying Web Hosting Solutions Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who desire to launch their web portal and require both a domain and a web page hosting package. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
