Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing network that offers new possibilities to earn cash on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice software and web design themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process together with the strong demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either get a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to select between the two options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Promoting Web Hosting Plans As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who want to have their online portal and need both a domain name and a web site hosting package. Some corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
