Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that generates new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name contains two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains involve 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Earn Money From Trading Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own personal web business. Usually, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the immense demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either acquire a turn-key site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Trading Webspace Hosting Services As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to manage their web page and demand both a domain and a web space hosting plan. Some companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
