Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that provides new opportunities to gain cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may impose, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain revenue from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your very own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a web space hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and web site templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the immense demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either get a ready-to-use 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 build your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Reselling Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to set up their online portal and demand both a domain and a web hosting plan. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
