Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that generates new possibilities to earn cash online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of two-character 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 name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may impose, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make profit from selling domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your very own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and website templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the rising demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either get a pre-built web site and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to manage their web site and need both a domain name and a hosting plan. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
