Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that furnishes new possibilities to gain money online. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a thriving business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of 2 constituents - 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 and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may involve, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own Internet business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and web themes for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the great demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so attractive. You will either acquire a pre-made web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and order form. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Site Hosting Packages Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to manage their web portal and need both a domain and a web space hosting account. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
