Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing network that furnishes new opportunities to make money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may involve, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own electronic business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize 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.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a web space hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and site themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the big demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so seductive. You will either have a ready-made web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web page and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Reselling Website Hosting Packages As Well

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to set up their web page and require both a domain name and a web page hosting plan. Some firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
