Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding community that provides new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific TLD may impose, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal electronic business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting CP where you can select the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web page skins for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the immense demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own online portal and order form. Typically, you have the option to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Selling Site Hosting Accounts As Well

An excellent supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to establish their web site and require both a domain and a hosting plan. A few corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
