Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that supplies new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining 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 an expanding business niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may involve, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain money from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your very own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and web page skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the big demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either get a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own website and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Hosting Packages As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to manage their web portal and require both a domain name and a site hosting package. Given firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
