Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding network that offers new possibilities to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make profit from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own Internet business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and website layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the swelling demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either receive a pre-made web site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Reselling Web Space Hosting Solutions Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to manage their online portal and require both a domain name and a site hosting account. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
