Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging network that generates new possibilities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-character abbreviations that stand for 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 TLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular TLD may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Gain Money From Selling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make profit from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own online business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means 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 requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a web page hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing software and design themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the vast demand for domains render the domain name reseller market niche so attractive. You will either have a turn-key web site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal online portal and order form. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to develop their web site and require both a domain and a web page hosting account. Some corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
