Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging network that generates new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name consists of 2 entities - 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 SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may contain, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Profit From Trading Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

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

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a web site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and web site skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the huge demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so tempting. You will either receive a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Supplying Webspace Hosting Packages As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to make their web page and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting account. Given companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
