Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing community that offers new options to gain cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name contains 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick 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 Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given TLD may include, including 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 administer all domain records.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can establish your own web business. Generally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue 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 On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing management software and web page themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the large demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-built web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Reselling Web Space Hosting Solutions As Well

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who want to have their online portal and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
