Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that provides new options to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take 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 domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains 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 institution that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may impose, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn money from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can establish your very own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and web themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the increasing demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either get a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal site and order form. Normally, you have the option to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Supplying Web Page Hosting Packages Too

A proper supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to manage their web page and require both a domain name and a website hosting plan. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all around the world.
