Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing system that supplies new possibilities to earn money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name involves 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may involve, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and design layouts for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the immense demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either obtain a ready-for-use site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own online portal and order form. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Promoting Web Site Hosting Services As Well

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to clients who wish to launch their web site and demand both a domain and a web hosting package. Certain corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
