Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding network that delivers new opportunities to make money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is made of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may include, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make profit from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your very own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and site skins for your web store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the significant demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either have a pre-developed web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own website and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans Too

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to set up their website and require both a domain and a hosting account. Some firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
