Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging platform that furnishes new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may include, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the big demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either receive a ready-to-use web site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Offering Web Hosting Accounts Too

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to set up their web portal and demand both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Some firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the world.
