Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that furnishes new ways to earn money on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may impose, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Make Profit From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn profit from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and website layouts for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the great demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web portal and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Providing Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who desire to establish their online portal and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting account. Particular firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
