Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that supplies new possibilities to earn cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name involves two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains include 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific TLD may have, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your own personal online business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a CP where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process together with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Trading Hosting Solutions Too

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who desire to run their web portal and require both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
