Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging community that generates new ways to gain cash online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain consists of 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may impose, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own personal online business. Commonly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and web page themes for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either receive a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Offering Web Site Hosting Services Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to build their web site and need both a domain and a webspace hosting package. A few firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
