Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that delivers new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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 TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains 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 country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may include, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own personal e-business. Generally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a CP where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and site skins for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the great demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so attractive. You will either have a turn-key site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own website and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Reselling Web Hosting Services As Well

A nice supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who want to make their web page and need both a domain name and a website hosting account. Given firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
