Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that furnishes new opportunities to earn cash online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can start your own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local regions 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice management software and web layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the great demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either obtain a turn-key site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Selling Web Space Hosting Plans As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to clients who want to build their web portal and demand both a domain and a site hosting account. Particular corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website 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 customers from all over the globe.
