Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that delivers new options to make cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Money From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own Internet business. Typically, 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 user. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and web page templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the high demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either have a pre-developed website and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Supplying Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

A logical addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who desire to create their web page and require both a domain name and a web site hosting package. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
