Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that delivers new options to make money on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each 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 a blossoming business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may impose, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Trading Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your very own Internet business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so seductive. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans Too

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who wish to run their site and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A few companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
